Transitioning to Gabapentin Enacarbil
I need some advice when it comes to starting Horizant while moving away from Pramipexole. I've been on Pram for about 12 years and although it still works generally, it's getting less an less effective. So it's time to move on. Gabapentin Enacarbil (Horizant) is what I'm moving to. My question

Saw Cardiologist today, now more anxious than ever.
Hi Everyone Thank you all for your lovely replies to my original post. I saw the cardiologist today and he says he thinks my PH is primarily caused by my asthma/COPD. He didn't put me on any medications at this stage. He wants an ultra sound done on my heart in September [[2 months away!] to compare

Cold Turkey
Hello Everyone, What happens if i just "Cold Turkey" Stop the 6.5 mg of methylprednisolone? I'm so sick of it all. I've gotten very low on meds (even zero for a few days) and the pain and stiffness return so bad i can't function. If i just quit, what's the worst that can happen?

Low platelets
Hello and thanks to contributors for the all the past useful information and support. Very much appreciated. My GP has now asked me to give Pramipexole a try as both Gabapentin and Pregabalin seem to have caused an unacceptable reduction in platelets. The negative correlation is fairly conclusive.

PEG vs Aspirational Pneumonia
Mum has reached a new point in her illness and food intake is now causing her to be sick on occasion which is ultimately leading to seizures and a risk of choking. We have been told the only way to ultimately stop this is via a peg or accept that this will eventually lead to her choking getting pneumonia

6 month old chronic cough
My 6 month old baby has had a cough on and off for the last 4 months . Back to the gp various times and three courses of antibiotics yet this still has not fully gone! Been referred to pediatrics and gp said this may be the start of asthma but hard to diagnose due to his age. I’m really getting anxious

Methadone

Does anyone have any direct experience of Targinact?
Hi Everyone, this is my first post but I've been reading everything on this forum for a while now. I'm in real trouble with augmentation after taking ropinirole for 11 years. I successfully tapered off and was completely free of it by April 2023, however the RLS remained severe, and in October I decided

GCA and Cough/Interstitial Lung Disease?
Does anyone with GCA have a dry, sometimes productive, cough? It feels like a bronchial irritation and I cough more when I speak. The cough comes and goes. I read that it is an uncommon symptom of GCA. TB has been ruled out. Chest x-rays show opacities in the base of my lungs. The cough occurs

Ropinerol withdrawal.... what now?
So after 15 years I'm off Requip. I'm now 4 days in with zero meds for RLS. A few contradictions of how long it takes to fully leave your system, however, I was hoping that my RLS would magically disappear along with my meds. Unfortunately, thats not been the case. Cannabis didn't help, it just left

Oxycodone - the way forward or a dead end?
I have only posted here briefly once but I have been following this great forum for some time. My story is very familiar. Have had RLS for 14 years, was prescribed all the available RLS medication: Ropinirole, Pramipexole (both miraculous at the beginning) Neupro patch ( never tolerated it), Gabapentin

Voice volume issues post ICU
Hello! I was in ICU in February. I thought I just had a bad cough… I’d lost my voice and thrown up and felt shocking and my GP told me it was viral and to take aspirin. Two days later, I was blue-lighted to hospital with Flu, severe pneumonia, strep A and sepsis. I went into septic shock and was put

Ropinirole vs Buprenorphine!
I had a phone call from 1 Dr. who told me that Ropinirole would cure my RLS and was annoyed that I wouldn't take them. He decided to get the head of the Surgery to phone me to try to put pressure on me ! I did say that the 10 mcg had helped me a little bit but I would like a stronger patch . A few day's
