Types of Exercise
Does anyone know if certain types of exercise makes neuropathy worse? I wonder if walking is better than a Zumba or cardio dance class or water fitness classes? The intensity of the numbness comes and goes but I don’t know if it’s related to the exercise. I am not diabetic and the neurologist says I

Guidance for RLS
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and am so glad to have found you. I have suffered with RLS for years, and in the past year, it's become pretty severe. I get VERY little sleep. Currently, I'm taking Gabapentin and Magnesium Glycinate, but neither are helping--yet. I did take Carbidopa-Levodopa for

Got some cholesterol readings, I don’t quite understand them.
Hi all, I had a blood test this week for liver function and the results included a cholesterol read out. The GP surgery sent me a text to say all the readings were normal. Trouble is I’m 4 months or so post quadruple CABG following Nstemi heart attack in July, am I considered normal on the same scale

lipodystrophy and Parkinson’s?
does anyone else have lipodystrophy associated with their Parkinson’s? I’ve had Parkinson’s for more than 12 years and it has mostly been well controlled by steadily increasing levels of medication. Recently, however, I’ve been losing weight and body fat consistent with generalised Lipodystrophy. I

Scientific opinion on the tolerable upper intake level for vitamin B6
The new scientific opinion (EFSA) revised in Europe the Tolerable Upper Intake Level
(UL) for vitamin B6 of 12.5 mg/day
for adults (including pregnant and lactating women), down from the previous UL of 30 mg/day set in 2000. For infants and children the ULs are: 2.2-2.5 mg/day (4-11 months), 3.2

Hope neuro is right
Hope neurologist is right or I'm done.Well the neurologist said it is not restless legs but nerve damage. He flatly refused to give me subutex without scientific proof, I told him that I did , He has taken me off temgesic as well and informed the other drs looking after me not to put me on it again..

Not impressed
Decided to go through my medical notes such as they are, and blood tests again now I'm more sensible again. All hospital consultations are missed off and consequently diagnoses. Oh, and there is a gp consultation noted that never took place. Basically my notes appear to be a mess. What really

Losing Hope of a good life
Sitting here jerking away, feels like someone has a cattle prod stuck in my thigh and sending shocks down my leg..my foot is twisting up....I'm about done with this. My husband may as well go and find someone else that can give him a happy retirement...the last 2 days I have had to drug myself up to

Muscle wasting?
Is this a PD sign? It happens anyway with age so how do you know what the root problem is? A few days ago I finished a treadmill workout in our shed and as I was walking away my legs gave out. Suddenly I was on the ground. Ultimately I was able to get up and shuffle into the house. I posted

Sternum discomfort
I had a CABG x 3 in July and am recovering well. My main problem is the discomfort/pain where my sternum was wired up. The main problem is at the bottom of my scar. I have lost weight so not much padding, I wondered if this will get better as time goes on. It is uncomfortable mostly when trying to

Long-term health of bypass grafts.
Hi, Feel slightly fraudulent as I’m fit and healthy, after a bypass in 2016, but I’m just curious for any insights / opinions re one niggling question. I do fairly intense cardio every other day (mostly) and my BMI’s at the top end of normal. For my age - 61 - I’m fairly fit. My question is: do those
