Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I do not experience any sort of high with the 10:1 CBD:THC or the higher CBD blends. There simply isn't enough THC in the tincture to cause any high or even sedation. I have been taking it for anxiety that stems from being taken off of an anti-depressant far too quickly at Christmas. Since the tinct...

The most outward sign of hemachromatosis is a change of skin color to a bronze or grey color. You can also experience weight loss, lost of body hair, reduced sex drive, lack of energy, abdominal pain, heart flutters, memory fog and overall weakness. If it is any help, my ferritin level has been as h...

Increasing ferritin levels helps many of us with RLS but not everyone. My ferritin started at 42 and I increased it to over 400 after several years of oral iron. But unfortunately, even though my iron has been over 400 for several years, it has not helped my RLS. This puts me in a distinct minority ...

Qyx, the tinctures available in Colorado are plant based oils (coconut, palm and/or sunflower) with the THC and CBD added. The products I have seen in the store include just THC, 1:1 THC:CBD, 1:10 THC:CBD, 1:20 THC:CBD, 1:30 THC:CBD and just CBD (from hemp so virtually no THC). I have a friend who o...

Scooter, part of deciding what you need depends upon how you intend to use the MJ to supplement the rest of your meds. The first question is the delivery system. 1) Inhaled (vape don't smoke) can provide an almost immediate impact, but the effects also tend to wear off more quickly than tinctures or...

First, the iron results that you posted are all on the low end of normal. But the test that you need for RLS is ferritin. A ferritin test has to be specifically requested. It is not dependent upon the other tests, so you will probably need to ask for it. The ferritin results for someone with RLS sho...

Please post a note telling us what meds he has tried that did not work. If his pain is due to RLS, there are several meds that will help. They each have different side...

There are basically two ways to get off of pramipexole and the choice depends upon your current dose as well as how supportive you think that your current physician will be. The first, which is difficult, is to taper down to a dose of around 0.25mg and then simply quit cold turkey. During the taper,...

Sunday, February 9 Welcome to JimHCNMT, who when first diagnosed, experienced several months of 2-3 hrs sleep/night, rendering him almost non-functional.
