Wits end
I need some advice please. I am currently on 300mg of pregabalin and one codeine tablet a day but this has stopped working. I struggle to get to sleep and when I do I am woken after 1 - 2 hours with restless legs and sometimes arms. I am at my wits end with exhaustion. I had a full blood count recently

Living Hell
I first experienced RLS about 1982. I had no idea what was wrong with me so I just put it down to some sort of allergy. As the attacks were quite intermittent, I didn't seek any help at the time. After about a year though. The frequency and severity of the attacks increased manyfold and was now causing

Reliance on Codeine
Following CABG five weeks ago I still have a lot of pain in my left leg where the vein was removed. I manage this through 2 paracetamol 4 times a day and 1 codeine tablet twice a day, having just reduced from 2 codeine tablets twice a day. This keeps me just on top of the pain. I'm wondering how

Inflammation and RLS redux
I've both queried and written about the possible roles that inflammation plays in RLS, but wanted to share what I recently learned, which again indicates that the relationship between the two is complicated. I was recently on methyl prednisone for a few days to calm down post-surgery inflammation

chlorella and hashimotos
Hi anyone have any knowledge as to whether it is not advisable to take chlorella if you have Hashimotos since it contains a small amount of iodine?

T4 over range yet again due to side effect of Amiodarone. I have no thyroid, am on 25mcg levo daily now. In a dilemma
Hi all I am aware that most people on this site will have little knowledge about the drug Amiodarone so here is a brief account of what it is used for and it's potential side effects that can alter conversion of thyroid medication such as levo or NDT so pushing levels either up or down. It can also effect

Doctors want me to come off codeine!
Hi, I have been taking codeine for my foot pain for nearly 4 years, my accident was 4 years ago this Monday, I scolded my foot and had to have my toes amputated last February 2023. The doctors want me to stop taking codeine but I am waiting to see the pain clinic, I have been on their waiting list since

Salbutamol Inhaler not used as a reliever anymore?
Hi Yesterday I had my yearly Asthma review with the nurse from our surgery which quite frankly was a waste of my time. However what did concern me was that she tried to take away my Salbutamol Inhaler (actually there & then) telling me they do not recommend them any more as a reliever & that I am

Back/pelvis/hip pain?
A month or 2 ago, I got a new dog, he's bigger than my previous dog and he pulls on the lead. And I got stressed adapting to the change. Somewhere soon after that I picked up a bug, and the PMR "buzzing" in my shoulders, arms and calves popped back. Not really painful but aware of "the bucket" I stopped

Can you take codeine with apixaban
I used to take ibuprofen for my costochondritis but have been told I cannot take it with apixaban, so can I take codeine?

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.
