Re: Neupro Patch

Sunday morning and although I am still not sleeping at night I feel a whole lot better since changing up my meds. Yesterday I decreased the patch from 4mg to the 2mg and took Mirapex .5mg at 6 and 9pm. I was comfortable last night and was able to sit and watch tv for awhile. My head is clearing up.....

Re: Neupro Patch

Well here is my two cents again about things... I have no problem going and talking to a phycholgist or whoever...but that is another kind of doctor that you have to be comfortable with. I am spending so much time and energy on trying to find a doctor to treat the physical symtoms that I don't have ...

Re: Neupro Patch

Hi ViewsAskew...I am so glad you put that you had been to see Dr. B. I really am thinking that I will end up out there soon. I am going to try one more sleep doctor and one more primary doctor in this area and then that's it for me. I am tired of trying to convince some *******%$%^$^#^& doctor t...

Re: Neupro Patch

This is just me...but I think you have to look for a doctor that you are comfortable with and that you trust to take care of you. If you don't have that bond with the doctor then life with WED is going to be hell. I had 2 good doctors over the years...it just happend that in the last 4 years I lost ...

Re: Neupro Patch

rthom....I hate that feeling too. I figure I am just mad at the world during those times. I try not to do the why me thing...but I do feel that way. Why me..why did this happen to me. Why did I have to get the severe kind...and in my case why did I get these funky feelings that are totally different...

Re: Neupro Patch

Jakesmom...just be careful mixing meds if you are alone and watch your dog. I know if I am having a real bad night and I start to cry too much or act any different two of my dogs will get up and follow me everywhere...I know they sense when something is not quite right. You are about the same age as...

Re: Neupro Patch

Jakesmom...you don't sound creepy. You sound like everybody else on here. It sad but true that misery loves company. I do believe this place helped me through 2 of the toughest times of my life and now it looks to be getting me through the 3rd worse time. I wonder when I will stop counting all the b...

Re: Neupro Patch

Well I have went back to one 4mg patch and I am starting the Pramipexole up again too. I took a .5mg tonight to see if that might keep that feeling away. I also saw the doc that did my knee replacement...or I guess I should say I saw the PA. She looked at my swollen knees and she said it wasn't that...

Re: Neupro Patch

I give up...I don't think I can do this much longer. Where does a person go when their doctors just throw their hands in the air and shove you off to another dr...or better yet they tell you that you need to go see a phychologist. I called my primary this morning about this stupid patch not working ...

Re: Neupro Patch

Jakesmom.....one other thing that you might want to check into is accupuncture. I did it last year...3 times a week to start with and then cut it back so I was only going once a week....I couldn't afford to keep going or I would still be going. I am not sure if it actually helped the rls or just hel...

Re: Neupro Patch

Hi Jakesmom...I hope things are beginning to settle down for you by now. I haven't been on here in a few days...haven't been feeling the best lately. Not sure if it is the patch or a stomach virus. Seems like it is always something. I have been playing around with mine and trying to figure out the b...

Re: Neupro Patch

Thank you...I will let you know what happens. The people here are the only people that really understand what we truly go through. My husband doesn't even get it. He wants me to snap out of it and has started to ask why I can't remember little things. All I can do is look at him and tell him to try ...

Re: Medical Marijuana

Hmm medical marijuana....that's a discussion that can get some people going. That being said...we can get Medical Marijuana here. I have a dr that wrote the script and it does help me to relax. It doesn't take the horrible feelings away...it distracts the mind from the feeling.. for a little while, ...

Re: Neupro Patch

Hmmm strange....I put something up yesterday regarding my hearing...but it must be lost in cyberspace somewhere because I don't see it here now. I guess it will take about 3 weeks to get the judges decision regarding my disability. The attorney said he thought things went pretty good. It was just me...

Re: Neupro Patch

Ok so here is an update to my crazy life with WED....but first to Harmony...I was taking 14mg of Requip a couple years ago. My primary at the time just kept upping my dose to control the symptoms. I was a mess when I finally got to a dr. that knew anything about WED. I was rebounding and augmenting ...
