Happy birthday to me
I must add that I also have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and
spinal
stenosis
. So, I now have a lawsuit to deal with. I am venting, yes, I am. I try to take each day with some positive thinking, but it is very difficult at times. Maybe 2013 will bring some good news to those of us that have PD.

Hello :)
I've spent ages reading the forums - didnt realise they existed until recently! I've been looking for experiences with Xolair, as I have my outpatient appointment at Papworth tomorrow and want to ask them if they will consider it for me. I have severe asthma, with allergies - which I may cope with

The morning after the day before
Yesterday was Wk 1 Day 1. Been preparing with loads of power walking, losing weight, but still got out of bed and thought: Hello calves, didn't expect that. But overall feeling good. I'm half way on my weight loss journey but still have another 1st 6lbs to go. The monkey I've got to get off

Has anyone had rls change to something else?
I had painful rls all my life, i then had spinal surgery and was prescribed tramadole for pain relief. Since then my rls has completely stopped but has been replaced by myoclonus jerks and a lot of random limb movement during times of rest and sleep. The tramadole is the only thing that keeps me still
