Hi all - I've searched the forum trying to figure out the answer to my question but it all seems to vary so much. I am 3 years in on buprenorphine now with RLS being pretty well managed (WOOHOO).

Ophthalmologist Visit
I just wanted to report on the exam by the ophthalmologist today. He said everything looks good. Optic nerve looks fine.

Satisfactory Rheumatology Appointment
Some of you will know that for the past 6mths I've been experiencing a few issues regarding the re-emergence of some symptoms, that seem to have resulted in some discord between myself and the rheumatology clinicians!

Covid vaccine
I am going to put it out there . Did anyone get ill with encephalitis after taking the Covid vaccine? This has been something that has been playing in my mind for a while My mom was in later 60s in good health and active before having the vaccine.
