Alfuzosin doesn't make a difference!
I have been taking Alfuzosin for years, but getting a little dizzy, so I went off for 3 weeks. I did not notice any difference in my urination after I went off, OR when I went back on. What is going on? Should I just go off this drug or is it doing something beneficial but unseen? Why would some

Gabapentin and liver resection
The help I have been given from this forum has been invaluable, I don't know where I would be without it. I have weaned myself off of Pramipexole and am now using Gabapentin, I don't think I have suffered anything like some of the other members. My question is, I need to up the dose, I am taking 1 x

CBN for sleep
I wrote previously about my goal to try CBN for sleep. Nothing helped me much with sleep. I had tried pretty much everything recommended including supplements and prescription meds. I bought some gummies with 10 mg each of THC CBD and CBN. I believe that these helped so I was motivated to make my own

Liver Beef Glandular pills for iron?
Hi. Has anyone tried Liver Beef Glandular pills to increase iron rather than iron pills directly? My naturopathic doctor prefers this for RLS, because he says that iron pills are oxidizing. My Ferritin is ~80. And, I'm new here -- super helpful community. Now that I understand RLS, as I look back,

CBD (thc free) for pain relief
I’ve had a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair. Before that I had a Lumber Spinal Laminectomy (which only worked for about 4 months). I’ve since also been diagnosed with Heart Failure so pain relief is very difficult. The Spinal Stenosis is now severe all down the Lumbar Region. I was given

Links between TSH and RLS. Have I found my cause in sub clinical hypothyroidism due to autoimmune disease Hashimoto syndrome?
As my RLS was under pretty good control I decided to see how I would go if I stopped my Tramadol 50-100mg daily, and tried CBD/THC oil instead. The answer was badly. My symptoms came back to the point I barely slept for 6 nights. And of course I also had withdrawal symptoms to deal with. As most of

Update on Weaning off of Pramipexole
Hello Everyone, I am posting in case this might be helpful to those going through getting off Pramipexole (PRAM) or thinking about it. I posted last Sunday about not feeling comfortable reducing the PRAM, but through encouragement on this site, I took the deep dive. I was taking .25 for about 5 years

Sleeping w/out THC for the first time in 5 years

Advice sought on switching from Tramadol to THC/CBD
I'm on 50 - 100mg of tramadol a day and slowly getting augmentation. Started with 50mg and now I alternate nights at 100mg. I'm reluctant to go to 100mg everyday yet but most nights 50mg doesn't work great. My Dr has suggested I try a THC 10mg/CBD 10mg medication and stopping Tramadol, so I will give

Change in Carcinoma
I had low dose brachytherapy in 2010 with seeds and success. My PSA started raising again in 2021. I opted for high dose brachytherapy and my PSA is 0.1. This year I had difficulty urinating and recently had a procedure similar to a TURP to remove tissue in my urethra near my prostate. This procedure
