Sleep disorders

Soursop, also known as guanabana and other names. The fruit can cause Parkinson's-like symptoms but also contains chemicals that are potentially beneficial. "The chemicals are called tryptamine-derived alkaloids. They're similar in structure to melatonin, a hormone involved in sleep regulation that can

This is my first post so bear with me. I have had restless legs since early my teens. All through my life ( I am 72 ) doctors have basically said poor you and that was that. Five years ago I had a sleep apnea test which was fine but the consultant concluded that I had acute RLS (which I obviously already

Hey everyone, I’m just starting my third round of IVF after a BFN and faint BFP followed by miscarriage. After starting Progynova on Weds, I felt some weird cramping yday so decided to do an early pregnancy test (first response). I got a faint positive (still in shock) - period is due on Tues. I’m worried

As of 6/21 I am taking a break from MB. I started at 5 mg 4/29, went to 10 mg 5/8, and my REM Sleep Behavior Disorder has been way worse as of 6/16. I had also started Betaine 6/12 so I stopped that also on 6/20. I don't know if MB is the issue. I was a bit hesitant to start MB only because I was doing

If there is something wrong with your vagus nerve it affects heart rate, irregular movement, dizziness and nausea. Doctors have told me that sometimes what I described is like a vasovagal response. So I wondered if the vagus nerve was treated maybe it will help my FND symptoms. Has anyone had that Vagus

I am currently having one of the worst flares of fibromyalgia I have ever had. The pain and fatigue are unbearable. My GP has suggested that I try taking Duloxetine. But the problem is that I have to wean my current SSRI first and I know that is going to be awful as I have done it before. How long will

Hi everyone, I started Multaq (dronederone) on Wednesday with the intention of being cardioverted Friday. Cardioversion was cancelled as staff off unwell but been told to continue with new meds. I’m very worried as it says in leaflet only to take if being cardioverted and if u can go into NSR. I’ve

So, I quit my job last week. I lasted one week past a year. Unfortunately it got to be a toxic workplace which was causing enough stress to trigger my MS symptoms. I was waking up with tremors and numb legs. Basically the bookstore I was working at was struggling and I was being made the scapegoat.

Hi! I have been told before but can’t remember how to wean myself off ropinirol, I’m currently down to 0.50mg at night but if I go lower than that I don’t sleep at all! Which isn’t helpful when I work full time, I’m in the uk so my doc won’t prescribe opioids, I’m already taking Gabapentin and that’s

Hellooooo, hope you are all well and happy 💕💕💕💕💕 It's finally OTD and the TWW is finally over. I was in Prague for my treatment and had to travel back home on 7dp5dt. I was really scared as I had lost one of my natural pregnancies after air travel, so was anxious and tensed to say the least. 8dp5dt

Hello everyone, I'm writing to see if anybody has any episodes of being suddenly jolted from their sleep, especially if you have FND and Fibromyalgia? I've experienced it once, several years ago and had an episode today, which is quite scary if you're on your own.

I know that we have very different experiences with our ILD. I had a look on an American PH news site and see that they have been testing an oral spray which has given quite favourable results for PF sufferers. Wonder how long it will take for UK to get it! Here is an extract from the article. It would

Hi, I have been taking Duloxetine continuously since 2003. I did try Sertraline but I couldn't function. Seeing my GP at the moment is a nightmare. I am just aware that my anxiety episodes are getting more frequent with no rhyme or reason for them. Have they stopped working? and is it dangerous to be

(This started as a post on PGE1 and PGA2, but then I found AQ, CQ, and DHI might do the same thing so I have changed the title) It has been 2 years since this was posted in HU: https://healthunlocked.com/cure-parkinsons/posts/143562876/2-compounds-show-ability-to-protect-neurons-raise-dopamine-levels

Does any one have issues with sleep apnea with this illness? PMR 20 years, GCA at least 10. Pred 12 years, Actemra 2 years. My blood pressure goes up when I sleep. I am scheduled to be tested for sleep apnea. I am wondering if this is why I can't get any remission or control of this illness?

This is developing quite nicely, I think. (Strange to say, I hear you say) My consultant heard my doctor's diagnosis of PLMS, but felt that it may be REM sleep disorder. I am now beginning to think like him. (BTW does anyone sleep with mouth open? I mention because a cough is developing, so "out with

Hi friends I was recently diagnosed with CA and was wondering if anyone new if sleep apnea might be linked?

Hello, ive been taking sibelium 5mg for about 4 months, it has been going ok sk far, the only symptoms i experienced were drowsiness and increased appetite, but recently i got a really bad stomach flu and had to take antibiotics, although my pharmacist and drs told me there is no interactions, i felt

Hi all - my fifth transfer (from my 3rd collection) has just failed. This is the first time I have taken prednisone 25mg, had intralipids and humira injections. I was sure we had found the real cause of failed implantation and my 2 miscarriages but now I am not so sure. Our embryos have always been

Hi ladies I'll be doing my 2nd (and final FET) soon, does anyone have any advice on when to stop caffeine before? I only really have one coffee a day (max 2), but last time I switched to decaf a few weeks before then didn't have any once I started meds. Should I be cutting it out sooner? Same for alcohol
