Yes, you should try to get one as soon as possible. In the meantime you can take iron pills who are available without prescription.abart wrote:Thank you Steve. : )
Would an Iron Infusion be something to try?

Re: Cannibas seems to work for me
For those of you who use Medical Marijuana in the US and don't live a legal recreational marijuana state, are doctors approving medical marijuana for RLS? That will depend on the state that you are living in. Some states who allow medical marijuana have imposed a lot of red tape and limited it to c...

Re: Second opinion w Dr Buckfuhrer
As for the Horizant, I've tried doubling the dose and I get no relief. I know from RLS webinars that different opioids work on different areas of the brain so I wonder if some combination would help. If anyone is on a combination, I'm interested in knowing what the combination is. I am on a combina...

Re: Cannabis
You certainly have had quite the journey! Just curious about people's experiences for timing of day for taking iron supplements. I usually take mine first thing in the morning. Is there a better time to take it? Could it work better for sleep if you took it at night? I am taking one pill in the mor...

Re: Cannabis - and Iron
Nice chronological summary of the incredible tortures you've endured that are related to your insomnia. I like your matter-of-fact manner of telling. Oh thank you. I know it is a long text and I because my brain is faster than my fingers, I tend to 'swallow" some words from time to time, sorry for ...

Re: CVS Won’t Ship Gabapentin to House
Ye, you are right, that this is completely silly. Even though Gabapentin has potential for abuse, it is still very limited, those states that have classified Gabapentin as a controlled substance did so under Schedule V, which is weak compared to drugs like opioids (Schedule II) or benzodiazepines (S...

For what exactly are you taking the Tylenol? Are you saying Tylenol is effective against your RLS symptoms?

Re: Cannabis
Okay, I have more news. There is undoubtedly a super interesting dynamic process going since I started taking those stronger iron tablets. Almost 3 weeks, I have to say that I am experiencing massive improvements in my energy, motivation, mood, anxiety, sleep and pain. In the last 3 days, I felt so ...

Re: I'm finally getting an infusion
Every time I get a little better, it makes me see more clearly how far away from true health I am. Last winter - after the infusion - was sooo much better than now, and yet it was still ranked as severe WED/RLS. This is something many (most?) of us are familiar with, gradually getting used to a bad...

Re: Lyrica questions
Every time I tried Gabapentin or Lyrica, it shot me into a horrible mood. Luckily I only ever took those drugs for a maximum of one week, so I was able to recover fast (within a week) from it. With those drugs, it seems like they either just work for you and if not, you have a bunch of intolerable s...

Re: Horizant and Ropinerole
In case your insurance won't cover Horizant and you are not able to afford it yourself, you can ask your doctor for Gabapentin. Gabapentin is very similar to Horizant since both have ultimately the same active ingredient. Basically Horizant is a long acting version of Gabapentin which works better f...

Re: Horizant and Ropinerole
As you already figured out yourself: you are suffering from an advanced state of augmentation. That you are suffering from symptoms in your arms is a good indication for that. Taking into account that you are already getting iron infusions it would make sense to investigate how the situation would b...

Re: Cannabis
Two days ago I decided to take a break from using medical marijuana for two reasons: I want to better understand the effect those more potent iron tablets are having on me and to simply reset my brain a bit. Personally, I am not that big of a fan of the psychotropic properties of THC, especially the...

Re: Scare
But she wouldn't have reduced it if I had kicked up more of a fuss. She's really truly a good partner with me, not dictatorial. Maybe it is not such a bad thing for the moment because it is in your file that your dose was reduced at some point. So if there ever would be an investigation in your cas...

Re: Why Does Alcohol Help Me?
Nobody will know for sure. We can all only speculate to why this is the case. I would also assume that higher doses of alcohol would worsen your symptoms. Alcohol does stimulate GABAnergic pathways, similar to the way benzodiazepines like Diazepam (Valium) or Clonazepam (Klonopin) do. Alcohol is bas...
