Re: New to this group
Deb, what you can expect during the appointment involves a number of things. You will probably be given a normal neurological exam in order to rule out other conditions. You will also be asked a number of questions about how often your symptoms occur, what time of day they begin and how much they in...

Re: Experience with Injectafer?
I will add my two cents to the comments by the previous two ladies.
Holland, thank you so much for your help and assistance here. You add a level of perspective that the rest of us can never hope to match, especially when it comes to conditions other than RLS.

Re: What DA to take
Since you have not taken a DA before, the choice between pramipexole or requip would be a tossup. You could end up with nausea from either one, but augmentation for a short exposure is less likely, but not impossible. But since you have been taking kratom for a while and it has been working, would a...

Re: Ropinerole Hydrochloride availability
PB, I looked at the FDA list of approved generic vendors as well as companies that have applied to manufacture ropinirole. There are currently two companies in India that are approved to supply it and several others whose applications are waiting. It therefore appears that GSK is simply planning to ...

The capsules will not stop a dog from picking it up, even if you have multiple layers of packaging. You are less likely to have your carry on bag sniffed than your checked bags, but...
