Black Cohosh Research
In a post discussing hot flushes, a couple of members said they used black cohosh. When I started researching it, I was surprised to find research abstracts showing that it killed prostate cancer cells in vitro and in mouse models. I’d never heard of using it for hot flushes or a possible adjunct treatment

Nightmares
Morning ladies - For the last few nights I’ve had the most awful vivid nightmares, well actually night terrors and waking up screaming. Really distressing. I’ve been taking Letrozole and Niraparib since April but this is not listed as a side effect. Trouble falling asleep and staying asleep is listed

Mirapex pramipexole withdrawal taper
This is the 12th day after my second reduction in Mirapex. My first production was from 0.5 mg to 0.375 mg. I only had three bad days out of three weeks. But my second reduction went from 0.3752 mg to 0.25 mg and I am having serious difficulties - very serious difficulties. Do these usually go away after

Considering Rapamycin
Rapamycin (aka Sirolimus) is a very interesting drug of diverse effects. It is being explored in early trials for PC because of positive effects demonstrated in cell cultures of PC cell lines and in animal model (mice). A phase I dosing study in human PC patients demonstrated a safe profile in moderate

Random Twitches
Hi all, When I was first diagnosed with RLS a few years back, I was also sent on a sleep study which showed I suffer from PLMS in the night too. However, over the last month or two, I have been getting random twitches in my hands, legs and arms (mostly on the left side). I always assumed that PLMS

Massage Therapy
This has been such a beautiful experience for Mom. She is so relaxed … hands, arms, shoulders, legs, and her most favorite is her scalp. In-home therapist is just what she needed.

Enlarged dilated pupils
Had a very scary episode yesterday two hours after taking my meds (1/2 senemit and eighth of tsp 99% mucuna) Started with blurred vision like there was grey smoke in the room. My pupils dilated so large as if I was a junkie. This lasted for about 4 hrs. Felt otherwise normal (apart from freaking out

Penile Injection Therapy
I notice none of these medications are listed in Goodrx. Does anyone know how much they cost? What some of the plusses and minuses are in their use? "The three main types of medications used in penile injection therapy include: papaverine phentolamine prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) or alprostadil (Caverject

MSA with Ambroxol HCL - a tentative success story!
Final edit update! Writing this 13/2/23. While our success with early ambroxol looked positive, her disease progression continued. At this point my guess is that it affects downstream symptoms, but only clinical trials will be able to say if it slows progression. Also, although it did greatly improve

Can anyone recommend essential oils for depression, sleep difficulty and /or pain?
My wife has problems with depression and sometimes sleep difficulty and is taking medicine (she has thyroid problems as well). In addition to this, sometimes I massage her with natural hemp seed oil, which she found to be useful even for any aches and pain. However, I am finding it difficult to find

Sleep Apnea very common with AF

Horizant for RLS
Does anyone here have experience of taking Horizant for RLS? After taking oxycodone 5 mg for many years, I have developed serious insomnia, therefore I'd like to switch to non-opioid to relieve my RLS symptoms. I'd like to know if anyone here have tried Horizant and if it is effective to relieve RLS

AF and sleep study -Cpap
I was told by the lead of he sleep study at NHS that there is a link with sleep apnea and AFib. She suggested to me that all people who suffer with AFib ask their GP to be referred for a sleep study.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Xanax and Atrial Fibrillation

Or even been having skipped beats (ectopics) and taken a Xanax and the irregular beats also stopped? Not sure why this may occur, unless it has something to do with anxiety. Or it may
