I wish I had an answer, Deb. What have you been doing? I have never used it.

Let us know how it continues to work for you, Rick. And, hope your body is handling the chemo and radiation OK.

Re: Ferritin levels and IV iron
It is SO frustrating. I find mine needs to be at least 200 for any significant reduction (about 50%). But, it took me years to get someone to do that and I STILL struggle with the doctors and hematologists.

Re: Opioid Tolerance
I started to ask the very first question above and figured that the poster had no idea why the doc said that. I REALLY want to know if there are any studies...I surely haven't seen any! I bet a lot of it is just personal experience. Which shouldn't be discarded lightly. Even though I fully agree th...

Re: Medications timing suggestions requested
I wish I had some suggestions - hopefully someone else will. That is a long time to be awake - I imagine you'd really like to reduce that!

Re: Very Slow Taper off Ropinirole
I have another update to my long slow taper off Ropinirole: at the 4 month mark, I am down to 1/3 of my original dose (0.5mg out of 1.5mg). Am also taking Gabapentin 400mg. I drop down every 19 days or so, and things are going pretty well! Most nights are very manageable-especially compared to last...

Re: Methodone
I'm sorry for the late reply, but I've had a lot going on and can finally get back on here and wanted to update you on the methadone. Turns out I did sleep well with the methadone and it did well for preventing the rls to act up, but I had to fight to stay awake all day and would find myself fallin...

Re: Meds after dental surgery triggering RLS
Surgery itself can be the trigger, Donna. Many theories, but they don't really know why.
But a quick internet search suggests toradol is associated with increased symptoms!

Re: Racial Subgroup and Ethnicity

Re: RLS and bladder spasm treatment using PTNS
Surgery often does make symptoms worse. Since this isn't surgery, I don't think it would be the same. But, just a guess.
