Hi Betty,
What kind of sleep apnea do you have? Central or Obstructive?
Do you have a copy of the report showing your values?

You just never know. A lot of gr8 ideas and problem solving comes from just throwing the ball around.

I have emailed Dr B and will let you know his response.

That is so kewl that you can do that. I have only heard of him since joining y'all but I have actually found some of his stuff. He seems like the RLS guru.

See, it's weird that the phenergan did not exaccerbate my rls.....in the past it did. So you just never know what will work for you that doesn't for others. Benedryl and Melatonin sent me to the moon, I thought phenergan did too but I just took it again over the weekend with no problem.

I subscribe to this but you can review the abstract for free.

again about Circadian.... http://www.journalsleep.org/Articles/280712.pdf and resulting in RLS.

Not that I want you to be a geniune pig but it's not available (correct me if I'm wrong) in the US.

A bit of warning.....I do not know if you've tried Melatonin before or not. ( this is not the slow release however, which may be key ) I have tried it a few different times over the years and every time it makes my RLS unbearable. I took Pheneragan over the weekend....it worked. I hope you have succ...

Does Requip help more with ache than itch?

I have to re-read what I post in order to catch typo's and make myself sound a little more clear. I always catch my mistakes after I hit the submit button. I'm so ADD and this is how my brain works. Question: When I make changes to a post within a few minutes from submit the original post do all my ...

Maybe you can try one kind of medicine alone and see what symptom (s)that helps.

Then try adding another med. for a different symptom and see if it helps...
...and so on.
At least that way you will recognize the symptoms of either RLS or LBP at can effectively deal with it.

Thanks ladies....I will try to remain calm. I will wait patiently on the dr.; put this out of my mind and take my normal dosage of Requip and ERT.
The waiting is the hardest part.
Hey, Every1 have a gr8 weekend

The GP ran the cbc, tsh, and chem 7. The nurse at my Immunologist's office said she believed it really is Alopecia Areata but she thinks the Requip uppage along with my estrogen could be the culprit. My Rheumatologist ran blood test two years ago and my ana, crp and all that stuff came back negative.

P.S.
Plz post an update if you see this.....It is so frustrating while searching for answers.

The Dermatologist said it's Alopecia, administered cortisone in my head and said it's not stress related or drug related and I may lose more hair. He said the reason is still unknown but it could be autoimmune.. Does anybody know anything about Alopecia Areata? Anybody have any advise or reassurance?
