Inflammation
I was hesitant to post this, thinking that this was a minor idiosyncrasy only specific to my situation. But I just saw a query about Bactrim, which made me think that it might be worthwhile to share this info. This is also in relation to the recent postings on whether or not inflammations can cause

Help - kindling?
As described in my other posts, my dopamine agonist withdrawal is awful. I suffer from DAWS, and I've done several stays in an hospital neurology service, and they are doing their best to help me, but something is awfully wrong. I got out of the hospital the day after yesterday. Yesterday, I had a

My response to the AASM Guidelines For RLS
I am posting this in the hope that it helps in forming your own response and if you agree with some of them, including them in your own response might help them pay more attention to them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Travelling with opioids
Hello everyone, Last May I flew to Chicago with gabapentin & low dose oxycodone in my hand luggage with prescription attached with no problems. In 2 weeks I will be flying to Phoenix, Arizona & now am on low dose buprenorphine instead of oxycodone. Has anyone had problems flying to the US carrying low

New FDA approved genetic test to predict the chance of opioid addiction
I am concerned about the new genetic test AvertD just approved by the FDA https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2024/03/25/dna-test-opioid-addiction/ It uses DNA to predict whether a person is likely to get addicted to opioids. I can envision where doctors will require patients to take the test and

Belbuca and post surgical pain.
I currently take Belbuca for RLS. I have taken Mirapex and Rotigotine with horrible augmentation symptoms upon stopping. I have also taken Gabapentin with terrible side effects. I also have tried several opioids in the past. I have taken Belbuca for the past several years. I am facing hip replacement

Any last advice before I embark on the battle to try Buprenorphine? Should I increase my pregabalin dose?
I'd be really grateful for any thoughts on remaining treatment options before I start waging war with my GP practice to try Buprenorphine. I took my last ropinirole tablet in May 2023 (after augmentation after 11 years), and have since been taking 300mg pregabalin (150mg at 8pm, 150mg at 10.30pm), together

Having difficulty getting a prescription for opioids for RLS
I have quite severe RLS - the relentless symptoms are kept under control to some degree by 0.75mg of ropinirole and I am certainly not willing to up the dosage. I get the occasional breakthrough of horrendous restlessness - often in the car! Aghh - so I think that the dose I am taking is no longer quite

The recent AASM Draft Guidelines
I finally had a chance to look at the recent AASM Draft Guidelines. I was surprised by a number of things. They should have had something between conditional for and conditional against. Why did they choose those particular things? Some don't even have much relevance to improving RLS such as antidepressants

Dental treatment and CLL
My husband has been taking Acalabrutinib for nearly two years. His lymphocyte count is around 40 and other blood results normal. His dentist says he needs 4 teeth extracted over the next year or so - 3 teeth in 2 sessions in the Spring/Summer and one in the Winter. His main worries are having to stop

looking for a neuro who is open to prescribing opioids to patients in NY state
After several years on Neupro and Gabapentin I tapered off Neupro but my symptoms persist. Looking for a neuro who prescribes opioids. I’m in NY and haven’t found one here. Called Yale cause I heard Dr Koo sees patients in NY but Yale said that’s incorrect.
