Have you ever suffered a dopamine agonist trigger persistent OH? (orthostatic hypotension: low blood pressure / dizzyness upon standing)
After 2 weeks of a low dosage of a dopamine agonist, I got OH - I suddenly became unable to stand for more than a few seconds without fainting. When this first occurred I actually did pass out as a result of attempting to remain standing. Needless to say, I immediately quit the dopamine agonist, but

V-TACH AFTER ABLATION
Interesting day. I received a message from the heart monitoring folks at 11:30, asking if I was having any unusual symptoms. I said no....just a very brief dizzy spell. Well, this afternoon, they called back 2 more times, encouraging me to go to ER. I said not until I speak with the Doctor , as

Sleep Apnoea
I have just been diagnosed with sleep apnoea and wondered if it's linked with PMR or steroids. It will be interesting to see if the fatigue I have is PMR or sleep apnoea. Does anyone else have sleep apnoea?

Confusing symptoms after partial thyroidectomy.
I just had a partial thyroidectomy done on 12/11/2015. I didn't know what to expect from the surgery and it's still early. I have severe narcolepsy and take stimulants everyday to stay awake. They are a must have. However, the day after my surgery I stayed awake with energy for most of the day without

feeling I will die when trying to fall asleep.
First of all I am 52 year old female. I have SLE, chronic neck, back, and hip pain. For about a year I've been having these episodes while trying to drift off to sleep it feels as though I will stop breathing my heart will stop and my brain is dying. It may happen only once or it will happened many times

23 years old. Depression/Anxiety.
Hi. I'm new to this site. I just want to get this off my chest. I don't even know what to do anymore. I battled depression and anxiety on and off for the past 6 years and once again I managed to screw things up and drive my life straight down into the ground. Things were going well for some time this

Just when things looked ok!
Life had settled down in the time since Bill came out of hospital but yesterday I knew he was not right. He was even more sleepy and so difficult to rouse. At lunchtime the carers dropped the bombshell, Bill was passing blood in his urine. Oh Shit! He is not going into hospital again phone 111 they send

When I close my eyes, I panic.
I was recently traumatized by an event that took place a few weeks ago. Ever sense then when I close my eyes, I get this weird feeling throughout my body. It feels as if I'm panicking. I have to then open my eyes because I am unable to keep them closed any longer. It feels like I have a fear that something

Doctors sometimes write the most unhelpful comments
One of my symptoms is that I don't seem to need sleep but sometimes during the day I shut down for 5 to 10 minutes. All that happens is when I sit down at lunch time, mid afternoon or early evening, I switch off for about 10 minutes. I don't feel tired or yawn it is just like someone pressed the off

Thanks
Hi All, Thanks for replying to my post re: cardiac catheterisation. I'm having the procedure done for diagnostic reason for now. I'm hoping my arteries will be such that I don't need stents or such things! Ablation for me is a while down the track. I'm also hoping the procedure doesn't effect the heart

Anyone get RLS as a withdrawal symptom trying to ween off Mirapex or another Dopamine agonist?
I try to wean off Pramipexole (Mirapex) periodically and my body does not let me do it.. I get RLS - either from withdrawal -OR- I got RLS since I started taking Mirapex and did not know it until trying to eliminate it. I wish I never started taking the sh*t. I believe it is highly addictive. Anyone

Clonazepam, benzodiazepines & alternatives.
Maybe a naive question, but having benefitted from clonazepam for a year or so my plmd is now increasingly resistant. Is this resistance specific to clonazepam or is it likely to be generic to any other benzodiazepine I might try as an alternative? If I've had it with benzodiazepines, what SRIs or dopamine

Question re tsh and gluten
Simply

Fibromyalgia
Hi everyone. I have had fibro for many years now and was never given the right kind of meds to help me deal with it better so I could cope so I changed doctors and finally I feel like I'm getting the help I need, even if every visit results in having yet another blood test. I have just recently been

Day 4 of nature-throid switched from tirosint
Hi I just switched to naturethroid from tirosint 4 days ago and I actually feel a little worse than I did as far as I'm more fatigued and my head and eyes hurt slightly. I had hopes that I'd feel better. Is this normal? I do know my t3 was at the lower end of normal and I do have low iron/ferratin when

Saw palmetto capsules
Hi since I was diagnosed as hypothyroid, I have lost more & more of my hair on the top & sides of my head, and it was becoming a real problem. My mother (also hypo like me) has the same problem and her hair is terribly thin. I did some research on line, and for a month have been taking 1000mg saw palmetto
