Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

If it were not for this place, I am not sure where I would rant Zach..

I am not much of a conspiracy person but seems the FDA is responsible for the stigma attached to testosterone in particular, I guess with body builders it does seems to make treatment with it trivial but its not. It's frustrating to know that something helps but it's just out of reach. And I underst...

Poker diva..all good questions. as odd as it sounds, just having the energy to do something as simple as dishes would make me happy at the moment. As for hormones, aside from narcotics hormones are one of the main things doctors get in trouble for writing scripts for so most doctors won't touch em. ...

I am starting to fear this fertility doc won't put me back on testosterone next week...but I was on it before so why would I not be able to take it again. I guess it's like when you have gone thru all the rls meds and your frustrated and your doc is frustrated and you just don't know if they will be...

I barely had daytime symptoms before sinemet....

Hopefully we can get more guys to look at this, I know I was embarassed to talk about it to my doctor. It wasn't till I had a cyst that I had to have looked at, and when they did bloodwork found it to be low...I had all the other symptoms of low testosterone too, I was just embarassed to talk to my ...

For me it did help a lot, not 100% but I did get better sleep and my daytime symptom were far and few in between.

Thanks Josh, I had never heard of such a doctor...Will have to check into that asap. So you did feel better when your levels were higher?

I had my neurologist appointment and he talked to me for a long time about hormones. He told me there is a big relationship between dopamine and testosterone(google it, tons of info).
