I live in Wichita. There are no chiari specialist near here unfortunately. There is a great neurologist though, his name is Dr. Shabash Shah. Thats who my girls see. As for surgery, the closest actual chiari specialist is in Iowa City, Dr. menezes. He has been recomended to me by many many parents who see him. I have chosen to take my yougest to New York to the chiari institute. They are the best of the best. I see Dr. Oro in Colorado but he doesnt see kids under 14.
Last Monday, 10 days ago, I started feeling a pain in my hamstring. The same pain I experience everytime I have an episode with shingles. I took tylenol 3 for the pain and had started a zpak for a bacterial infection. Tuesday I woke up with a minor shingles rash but both of my calves felt stiff, I thought it was from working out. as the week progressed the pain in my calves worsened to the point that it was hard to walk and began affecting my hamstrings as well..
I was born in russellville Arkansas, raised in Wichita falls Texas, and on July 18 of this year I moved to Arkansas. I am 23 and will be 24 in January.
our father who is 78 is starting to hallucinate he was hospitalized about a month ago for pneumonia.he was also taking requip for his restless legs,the doc. took him off of requip because of side affects 4 days ago. we dont know if that could be the cause of his condition or not,he also had a cat scan of the brain, it was normal.he sees people that are not there, he realizes later that it is not real. he is getting depressed and scared,we dont know what to do anymore.
You should take proper treatment from the periodontist. Dr. William is one the best periodontist in Wichita Falls.
Where can i find a doctor who will see a meth addict?
Quixitic, Thanks for reply. Guess I am not alone with this. Yes was diagnosed in 2000. I am a transplant to Wichita but have lived here almost 15 yrs now.
This result met with little concern. After diagnosis RLS 10/07 started Requip. Worked like magic from first .Actual RLS symptoms abated, bad wakings CEASED. Was at 2 mg nightly. End 1/08 small weight gain, minor edema. Short of breath. Suddenly symptoms increased.Gained more than 25 lbs in 10 weeks.Feet/ ankles/ fingers/abdomen terribly swollen. All sorts of tests including kidney,liver,congestive heart failure. No answers. Back to neuro.
Besides Mirapex, the other medications that are approved to treat Restless Legs Syndrome are Neurontin, Requip and Neupro. I recommend speaking to your doctor about these medications to see if one may be appropriate for you.
I've got severe RLS 24/7 and have been taking Requip for the past several years, Mirapex before that. It's gotten worse lately so the doctor had me go cold turkey 5 days ago. He gave me Klonopin to take at night, but it doesn't do anything other than make me even more tired. I managed to get 6 hours sleep on day 4, but that's it for the whole week. The doctor says that I can't go back on the dopamines (Requip) since they have started augmentation (making the RLS worse).
Get on all 4s and arch your back keep doing it froe a while should help to move baby
It's possible that you have a real medical issue with RLS and if that's the case Requip works great and it's not addictive!
On the other hand if it does have something to do with w/d's then I would suggest eating bananas as they really do help.
If the bananas don't work after a few days then I would go to your doctor and tell him what's going on with your legs and he will probably give you the Requip. I'm currently taking it and with no side effects at all.
Today was my big 10! I feel great. I do still have my rls but I take Requip at night and it makes me sleep like a baby! Ready to watch some titans football tonight and leave for Florida vacation in two weeks!
Has anybody had success with requip? If so, what dosage of requip worked for you? They have .25, .5, 1.0, and 2.0.
Do you take the medicine at night only or during the day too?
I really appreciate your help. I made it 14 days off hydros last year, but the RLS was agonizing and I gave in. I want to do EVERYTHING I can to help ease this upcoming hell.
I started taking Requip last year for RLS. I just happen to mention to my doctor that I had leg pain during the night. She had given me a trial pack but left it at home when I went to my daughters for the weekend. I had only been taking it a few days and when I didn't have it to take I thought i was dying. It is like I am addited to this drug. I can't come off of it. I have started having shooting pains in my legs and find that I am having to take it more often.
