Just a note Here in BC Canada we just cannot change/switch doctors We go to one and stick with that particular one I do have a good doc just need to bring her more and more info re: RLS Past doc himself suffered himself from some bouts of RLS so he was more educated in the matter Like many here I be...

Hello StJohn and Thank you so much for your reply Yes I guess so 0.25 / 7 to 8 X per day (each tablet) it's too much Well you and many others are prolly correct No time to cut down or out like now It's a difficult time But I understand I have not taken and will not take any Sinemet Thank You for all...

Thank you again for the Warm Welcome Back !!

Yes; I am back I had been reading many posts I appreciate them all ! Thank you! I have a new doc again Last doc left OK I have been augmenting for about 1 month I know I need to remove the Ropinirole and cold turkey it The new doc is great but I am informing her about RLS I gave her plenty of readin...

Yes Ann I can now walk LOL ....not funny but was pretty well unable to prior the surgery...so YES! surgery sure helped!. True true...difficult at this time to tell if this is augmentation or not. I hope to be able to one day find that out. So..I had several iron infusions and scheduled for more. Hop...

Hello All...it's been a long time since I last posted. Had a knee revision done May of this year. The knee is still swollen. Was a tough one. Anyways...right after the surgery (at home) the RLS kicked in hard. Not much relief. Doctor's giving me plenty of iron infusions but iron's still low. Anyways...

yes I agree Ann . 190/70 high top so the diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) has helped. Anyways the BP's come down to top# being 160 and 143 etc which is better than 190 something. If all goes well with the BP I will get the surgery...if not...and it's all good...it will be delayed. Thank you Ann!!

Thank you so so much Ann!!! Makes sense to me and I had some flutters the next couple of days after taking the hydrochlorothiazide. However; they have dissipated. Looking forward to the 3rd knee surgery-so I can walk again and be out of most pain. Had 2 done and one didn't work-revision's necessary....

Hello everyone;)

Would anyone know if hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) would worsen RLS?
Thanks !

Sincerely,
Oceanwalker (Marie)
