Drug Holidays
I’m among the relatively fortunately RLS sufferers that along with gabapentin can get decent relief from a 5mg dose of oxycodone immediate release. However, I am very concerned about limiting my dependence to this drug due to its power and am determined to avoid having this dosage increased. I believe

...and now I have a cold!
The last couple of weeks have been so busy with commitments both during the day and the evenings that I've only managed 2 runs in the last 10 days. Today should be Week 5 run 3 but I've woken up with a cold, headache and sore throat. AND it's raining AGAIN! Think I might just stay in bed.

looking for advice for RLS
Hi everyone, I am new here. Hoping to find relief for my RLS. I am located in the US. A bit of history, I’ve had RLS since about 2017. Started off moderate and was using cannabis for relief. Over time, symptoms got worse and smoking cannabis wasn’t working well. I then tried Kratom and got good relief

Suboxone and Colonoscopy
Hi, I have been taking Suboxone (Buprenorphine and Naloxone) for almost 5 weeks now, but I am going to have colonoscopy on 14 of December. Does Suboxone interfere with anesthetics and narcotic given during the procedure? Do I need to stop taking it and how many days do I stop taking before the procedure

Flu shot debate, I've noticed a decline
My mom is 94 and a sibling took her for a flu shot without my knowledge. I then visited my mom about 10 days later and noticed her blood pressure was up to 198, even while lying down. I took her to immediate care where they brought it down but it continues to stay higher than usual and the cardiologist

Need advice about T3 levels
Hi, I have had some tests recently which included thyroid levels and my free T3 levels are 3.1 which appears to me, to be right on the borderline of normal. The free T4 and the TSH are fine by the look of them. Im just wondering if that T3 level is a bit low. I dont have any symptoms I would describe

RLS Absence and Clarification
I have had RLS for over 25+ years, used and exhausted all the RLS medications, when neurologist prescribed methadone, five months ago. I am at 20 mg, twice nightly. About 3-4 weeks ago, the symptoms disappeared, and I am trying to figure it out, possibly the Group can help. I began taking the magnesium

Newbie - Should have wrapped up warm! Any tips? 😊
Hi all. I am new here so I thought I would say hi 👋. I started the C25K programme (again!) in Sept 23 and everything was going really well until I picked up a flu bug. I had to stop for a few weeks and I started the programme up again, only to the catch COVID 😭. I tried to start again after Christmas

Sapphire Clinics
Just arranged my first consultation with sapphire clinics tomorrow (Thursday) but starting to wonder if I've done the right thing. I've never actually read anywhere that THC /cannabis oil has helped anybody with their restless legs. At £50 for the consultation and £70-£100 for the oil it's money that

Acid Reflux - coughing
I have been suffering for the last 7 weeks with a constant cough. I take Gaviscon and 1 x 20mg omeprazole, I have not seen a doctor yet as I have been away. Does anyone else get a constant cough which may be related to GERD? I also now have a runny nose but can't be a cold as I've had it so long. Can

Tirosint
Its been 10.5 months since my thyroidectomy. I was at .69 TSH on levothyroxine 100 mgs a day with mega side effects. Doctors just switched me Tirosint 88 mgs a day. Am I to expect more serious changes, again. I lost my voice, got chubby, lost hair, aged, and more. Its been a life-changing experience

Making a new start.
You know the situation: it’s five in the morning and there’s no chance of sleep. I can’t be the only person who ends up writing for help because there is nothing else to do while waiting for the dawn. The story so far: initially, like many of you I took Pramipexole, which allowed me to sleep, although

Another test in my continuing saga. I am now being tested for cold agglutinin. Dr's note below. "A prior DAT was negative, but a second one conducted on Feb. 14 was positive.

Cold water swimming
Hi all, I have been toying with cold water swimming for some time. ... (Now I'm no longer on the brink of chilblains at all times it seems like it could be a reasonable endeavour!) Does anyone do cold water swimming (or similar) and feel any benefit? I've done some very brief reading about brown
