Can't fall alseep. Mind becomes alert and keeps me awake
Hey guys so this problem began around 3 weeks ago when i was unable to sleep for two days straight even with 0.25mg clonazepam. Since i had a exam coming up i had to take 2mg lorazepam which knocked me out after 3-4 hours. I was able to sleep normally after that but the problem returned. And this time

Tongue biting
Hello there, can anyone give me suggestions to stop my partner from biting his tongue. After nearly 5 weeks, he finally has a trachy, before that, he was biting on the tube that went down his throat, his tongue was stuck out a little because of the tube. I have been told it is a habit, but wondered what

Duloxetine and tiredness
Hello lovely people! I've been taking Duloxetine for a few months and after the initial 2-3 weeks of side effects it seemed to dramatically decrease my fibro pain levels. However, recently I've become plagued to extreme tiredness so often that it's stopping getting anything done and is a concern for

This is for those of us who have sleep problems.
Which is probably a large portion of RLS people. HOWEVER, not all sleep problems are caused by RLS, only exacerbated by RLS. (Case in point - People who do not have RLS also have sleep problems.) For instance, if your brain is low in serotonin, the most important of the brain neurotransmitters

Getting enough sleep?
I agree that this is an optimal time to retire and be in a deep
sleep
before midnight. Be mindful of your
sleep
hygiene
- so a cool temperature (never
sleep
with the heating on), cotton bedsheets, no electronic equipment and complete darkness.

Problems using extended release types of Carbidopa Levodopa.
I have used Rytary, extended release Carbidopa Levodopa, Entacapone (Comtan) with the same results. At first they help but after a week or so they start to fail. My on time becomes shorter and my off times get longer and harder with more pain and other side effects. Most nights i am plauged with

Just ended day 3 of Solumedrol
I hated to do it, but I've spent the last 3 days getting IV steroids from Home Health Care. The exacerbation hadn't gotten too bad yet, but it was spreading and the neuro wanted to nit it in the bud. The worst part of the steroids for me is the sleep disturbance. I've been up and down at night, sleeping

Neuro dr useless
Went to see a different neuro dr few weeks back he wouldn't listen to me and he told me that RLS is a muscle disorder nothing to do with anything else as there's not been enough study to say what course it he's sending me for electrode conductive test which I've had before he wouldn't listen that it

Honesty
Has anyone here dealt with drug dependency? I have....a few times. The first time I didn't relalize it. I had been taking Vicodin for migraines and then (unknown at the time) nerve and muscle pain for over 7years and developed an ulcer, so of course my dr discontinued the medication. I developed insomnia

CPAP machine
I knew with my weight gain I was a candidate for CPAP. Well I took the test and I shocked the nurse reading my report. Let's just say mine was severe sleep apnea. The only symptom I had was on occasion I would wake up gasping for air. Well, I have been on it now for a month and what a change. I am

RLS gets better with sleep
Thank you! Even though I've been intermittently bothered by RLS since I was a teen, I was always confused by its description as a sleep disorder. Mine would typically come on in the evening when I was sitting and getting sleepy and be relieved by going to bed. During the last year, some 60 years after

Sleep Problems
For the last couple years, I have been having some sleep problems, and I am curious if any of you have had something similar. I don't know if it's related to the depression or not. I am constantly exhausted, though not necessarily sleepy. I just always feel like I need to close my eyes and rest. When

Seroquel question
Hi all. I'm new here. This is my first post. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's over a year ago and am not on any medication. A few months ago I started having visual hallucinations. My doctor prescribed Seroquel. I can't quite follow the logic. Maybe I've got it all wrong, but if Seroquel is a dopamine

Apple Cider Vinegar and Magnesium
I think have seen posts here about using ACV for acid reflux. I currently take Omeprazole but need to stop it for 2 weeks prior to an endoscopy but worried that the acid reflux will be bad. Any advice would be welcomed. I have also seen posts about using magnesium as a sleep aid and as I suffer terribly

Parkinson's symptoms and left handedness
Hi all, newbie here, when can we have this drug in Adelaide, Australia, Does anyone know? I initially came on line to ask the following but saw the new about the new drug. But I had a thought, might I suggest, that in Parkinson's, left handed people may not have the same writing problems as right handed
