Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

hello Rustsmith and ty for your helpful reply. Well I can tell you that I would never ever receive an infusion. Things seem different here in Canada with the docotors. They just don't understand. Honestly I have a good doc but I know an infusion is out of the Q He even stated that 10 is low but 20 i...

Again ...Thanks Polar Bear! Yes; agreed..occasionally as you stated. Well like I said so far so ok I don't know if I am augmenting. Perhaps??

Hi Beth... I am unsure if I am augmenting.
So far the 1.5 mirapex is working with the dilaudid, and the rest.

But! i was a t the doc's this am and my ferritin test came back at 10

On iron supplements now

Ahh thank you so so much Beth
Thank you all for your information and your input!!!!!!
It's been and still is a tough road.
At this time I am at a standstill but it's ok.
Something will *give* in the near future.
One day at a time.

OceanWalker

Hi Beth I just wondered if you ever received my PM ? Thank You

OceanWalker

aww thank you Beth and thank you Steve and many thanks to all. Again I sit in tears. But! I try and I try (like we all do). I suppose we need to do our parts in this struggle to achieve recognition. I tell ya ..I am kinda down and out over all. But I won't give up and I am so so happy that my doc's ...

Hi all and sorry I didn't post sooner..been under the weather. Well the Vancouver based neurologist only specializes in headaches now..np. But my doctor's totally amazing now and is working with me. I take one and a quarter of mirapex coupled with the dilaudid at night and it's working. I do have so...

Forgot to state that there's a neurologist I saw many many years ago. A Dr G. Robinson. A no nonscence doctor who many years ago suggested I use a high amount of codeine at night prior to bed. This worked for me for a while. He was the only doctor who seemed sincere and who actually had knowledge of...

I don't know how much to thank you all for this information. The WED's are getting really bad again. I understand what you are saying about the cocktail/combo of meds Polar Bear. I too am taking rivotril,codeine (small amounts) and dilaudid in the evening along with a low dosage of mirapex. Perhaps ...

Many Many Thanks Polar Bear and Ann (Viewsaskview) for this pertinent information. I am going to see my doc (primary care giver) tomorrow am. Sure hope he does comply. And again Thank You so so much for everything!! Been looking for hotels/motels/etc around the are. Any suggestions? I so appreciate ...
