Karen's right, there's a good sale on Malic Acid at Puritan.com right now. Here's a direct link:...
Hi Chuzzle, I'm really thrilled for you!! It must be such a relief to be on so few meds. If you don't mind, I would love to know what meds you were on, how you weaned off the meds, and how long...
Oh Diane, my heart goes out to you. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers....
Welcome Lauren! I'm still a newbie mostly, but wanted to say you've come to the right place. So much caring and support here. The people on this forum are amazing. I don't have any advice for an...
I was thinking about this very thing this morning as I tried to decide whether or not I should shower. My hair has always been short, so no problem there. I'd much rather take a bath than shower, but...
I've only been on Lyrica (50 mg 3 x day) for 3 weeks, but I haven't gained any weight so far. I noticed almost immediate relief when I started taking it, but today I feel like I'm back at square one....
Welcome to our family! Not much more I can add to this but to say we know where you're coming from. I'm pretty much a newbie, but the support and understanding I've found on this forum is incredible....
LOL Marlee, I knew someone would give me grief about the motorcycle ride :) Thank you! You know, though, I never thought a ride on the back of a bike would be overdoing it, since I'm basically...
I know this is a pretty general question and meds affect people differently, but I'm confuzzled. I apologize in advance if this is rambling and whiny :) A week ago, my pcp started me on Lyrica as a 2...
Hi Imlynelle and welcome to our family :) I'm in Ohio and I hate to say it, but don't move here! Winters are cold and damp, summers are hot and humid. We had a bad cold snap (below zero temps) in...
Thanks for starting this thread, Diane. My foggy brain missed it this morning. My concerns are the same as yours. The link you posted was an eye-opener. I don't want the weight gain or the possible 2...
In the past week, I noticed an increase in my neck and shoulder pain and saw my pcp yesterday. She examined me and said the muscles are as tight as a drum and diagnosed myofascitis (sp?). She wants...
Had I known at the time what RLS was or what it felt like, I would have been tap dancing in the aisle to get some relief :) I couldn't figure out why it felt like my legs wanted to take a walk and...
I remember that earthquake Sherrine! Like you, I thought my furnace was going to explode. My daughter and a friend had just left for afternoon kindergarten so I hightailed it up to the school, on...
I had my first bout of rls last year about this time as I was flying home from Honolulu. I don't mind flying, but talk about an excruciating 13 hour flight!! I finally woke up my sister-in-law (an RN...
I hope it's ok to start another thread :) Thank you, Sherrine and Marlee for the warm welcome! It feels good to be with others who understand this disease. Sherrine, I live in Cuyahoga Falls. Closer...
I've been lurking for a week and decided it was time to come out. Dx'd with fibro last December. My doctor put me on Cymbalta (first 30mg, now 60mg once a day), Flexeril, and Tramadol. I'm not...
