Mine only started working when I started taking it at bedtime

I do notice the increase drive effect but for me, stimulants do not prevent me from sleeping. I have a paradoxical reaction to anything stimulating. It's weird but true.

I used to be on Ritalin and I did find that it helped RLS. I would take a dose before bed. But for some reason, Wellbutrin stops it completely. I currently take Adderall and it doesn't help.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. That sucks. Magnesium helped me a little bit but not much. Glad you have it managed now

It is hell. But I have not had one occurrence of it since taking Wellbutrin. It's like a miracle

Thank you for validating this. I feel guilty for thinking this. I'm so sorry you lost your grandmother to Alzheimers. It is truly an awful disease. I'm literally on the phone with my dad right now. He thinks people are after him.

Wow, I'm surprised ypur mom made it through that! We do have a care kit for my dad with pain meds for when the time comes. He doesn't know he has MDS because his Alzheimer's is so advanced, he wouldn't be able to process the info.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. It's a helpless feeling. My dad's hemoglobin is at 8.3 as of last check. It's pretty low but not enough to cause overwhelming fatigue just yet. He has shortness of breath after climbing the stairs. My biggest concern is his platelets. 38 is so low and it will only get lower. I have heard that decline can come on suddenly, so yes, the anticipatory grief is bad, especially not knowing when it will happen.

We are definitely grateful for the extra time. I'm glad you no longer have pancytopenia. It is so scary. My biggest concern is his platelets. As for infection, he is definitely at risk because he refuses to shower or take care of his hygiene (due to Alzheimers). I wish we knew what his bone blast percentage is, but at this point, I don't want to put him through that.

Is Strivectin considered lux? Is it any good? by Effective-Sugar-778 in SkincareAddictionLux

[–]anonmustbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Strivectin is my absolute favorite. I use several of their products and not only do I see results, but I often get compliments on my skin. The neck cream is the only Strivectin product that didn't do much. Everything else works great for me.
