Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

That is a very informative posting. I will send it on to many people. Do you know about xylitol? It is the sweetner used in some chewing gums because it is good for your teeth. It costs about $25.00 for 4 1/2 lbs. I also understand there is a less expensive sweetner called stevia available in health...

Chemicals in my system caused my RLS. I had a very mild case until anti-depressants were prescribed to me. Now I’m on Requip and Valium. Work well but it make me very tired then I started to improve my nutritional needs. Good nutrition is not something you can get at a grocery store these days. Proc...

This is just another article about the healthful properties of brown seaweed. It's the fociodans that are so good for us. I believe that being healthy in general helps every physical malady. Sure helped me. Please note I am not mentioning the name of my favorite health supplement. Please read at thi...

I have found an article in Newsweek Magazine that is about one of the ingredients in my favorite RLS remedy. I have copied the entire article below and I am including a link to a summary of it. Summary: m This page has a summary of the article and the link is associated with the company I sell for (...

My experience with Requip is pretty much the same as yours. But it was the only drug that the DR found that did anything. He added valium to it and I got shallow sleep and woke up several times a night. I was grateful that I did not have to spend the night pacing the floor. I have noticed that it do...

LET'S STIR HOPE SOME HOPE HERE, is just right. Please vote. I'm not going to be allowed to mention this product again, and I can understand why. If you wanted commercials, cable TV would not be so popular.

My husband was in a car accident on his way to work. A drunk teenager fell asleep at the wheel. When he returned to work I could not sleep. I went to see a therapist. He insisted I needed anti-depressants. I had a terrible reaction to the anti-depressants.( Acne and OCD.) Obviously I stopped taking ...

I sell vitamins. I can not take Vita-One. The brand of mutli-vitamins I sell. Just two days of taking it and I can't sleep well for a week. Even though I'm on that little "miracle drink" I also sell. I really wish I knew what vitamin or mineral or combination there-of causes this reaction. Is there ...

Recently, one of my 91 year old neighbors hurt her back. They are Amish and they did what the could for her. Then her daughter drove her buggy to my house to see if I could help. I did. She is up and around again and has more energy. Please take your Mom off the med. Shaking is a very bad sign that ...

I agree about the chocolate and the brain but when you throw in it's caffiene, I'd say no chococate. I've been corisponding with Jill (rebel) and I really believe much of what she advocates. We have to learn our triggers and keep our bodies healthy. Good health promotes less symtoms. If you are heal...

Even the President of the United States votes for himself so I voted for this post to stay.

This topic is one of those that I think we all should be able to discuss openly but darn if an old gal like me doesn't still think it's private But here goes. Yes, my very unscientific point of view is that it is in the brain chemistry. Until we find a way to permanently turn it on,(the dopamine ) ...

I have removed my posting concerning a product that I feel so very strongly about. It has been in place long enough to see that I will not be able to have volunteers try this product to see if it is as wonderful for them as it has been for me. I felt it was important that I be up front about the fac...

Trouble with the big "O" is you can't find one at my age.

This is my first time posting on this board. I skimmed the rules so I will have to ask if I am within the proper bounds of this forum. First I found a new product that I like so very much that my husband started to sell it. I have been able to cut back on my meds and I sleep so well I wake up happy ...
