Naaahh... your not a baby, you are suffering and need help.

I suggest that you be up front with your doc and ask for help. Take the Mayo Algorithm with you.

I used to always have daily severe headaches and sometimes migraine. But not for many years now. Occasionally get spells of mild headachey days, not quite bad enough for a pain killer.

Make sure you are not dehydrated.

good luck

Hi Views, your theory is no way silly. Its exactly what I think (unless we are both silly)!!!!

I think we read into a post according to our own mood and our own self esteem at the time of reading.

Very many years ago someone painted eyes, nose and mouth onto it, but this added a little character and has not ma...

I have been known to try and walk and read a novel at the same time.

At the computer doesn't always work cos if my legs are 'on the go' then I can't sit at the pc.

Hi Tom, the length of your post never even crossed my mind. No offence could possibly be taken from any of your posts, be it length or content. I really just meant what I said, I did like your post. Ann is correct when she says that the written word can be misunderstood in its tone i.e. the tone in ...

Here in the Uk we can get requip/ropinerole under the name of Adartel and my doc gives me these. my daily dose is 2mg (taken over 24 hours for my 24/7 rls) and doc prescribes me pills of .5mg. These are oblong and are scored and are easily halved. So quite easily, the dose can be less in the morning...

Hi Tom
Yes that was a lovely first post. You sound very positive throughout your symptoms/difficulties.

By the way I wouldn't worry too much about spell check. Sometimes when some of us have posted, when weary and tired and fed up with our rls, the spelling etc can get a bit haywire :lol: :lol:

Hi Susan, I live in Northern Ireland which isn't so far from Moonlight, as the crow flies, although Moonlight is in Scotland, this means we have pretty much the same weather, maybe only 40/50 miles apart. Have to tell you.... 25/26 is considered hot weather for us, it's a heat wave Of course, being ...
