Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Have spent the betta part of the day tryin to subdue my brain into conforming with the idea of "not smurfin me off" every single day ... No joy. So, took Zena for a walk. Only about 20-30minutes. Actually, i'll rephrase that first bit ... Zena took ME for a walk. Of course we had to check ...

Hey GG I know what you mean. I rolled over in bed last night and my right calf muscle went into a humungous spasm. Couldn't scream for help coz Troy was out fishing (I was s'posed to go as well, but I got the "u look like the wreck of the titanic" verdict ... lol ... i'm gettin used to tha...

Yes ... I'm tryin to keep a positive outlook. Keep comparin apple trees and orange trees. Know i've only got one ticket on the Ride of Life. I'm havin trouble with all the "energy" literally draining from my legs at the moment; kinda makes it hard to stay upright and the last few days when...

Happy New Year to one and all. We have all fingers, toes, arms, legs and everything else crossed that 2009 will be at least a lil better than what we've been copping lately. Anyhoo ... It's been a good couple of years since my RLS has woken me during the night. It was a complete surprise at 3:30 thi...

I think i've already mentioned this numerous times somewhere in the past 36 pages ... I DETEST BEING A WALKING WEATHER STATION!!! For smurfs sake. I'd been awake all of 20 minutes this morning and BANG ... off we go! Haven't used Ropinirole (Repreve/Requip) for several weeks now thanks to good ol au...

Hi Gill 24/7 RLS here too ... currently on clonazepam, codeine and amitriptyline for it. I suggest you ask for a long appointment with your doc. Before you go, write down all the conditions you've been officially diagnosed with, who diagnosed them, and then beside them, what medications you take and...

LOL ... Love the rant. Problem is ... it's TRUE! I ain't been through three Neuro's, a Sleep Doc and three GK's for nothin! I want answers! What smurfed me off about the Neruo's was their lack of compassion, empathy and ... response time. It seems logical to me that if one of your patients rings you...

Yes ... tis the season to be jolly ... so why the smurf am i on my "pity pot"? Guess i've finally reached the Real end of my patience and tether and just want some "time off" for want of a better phrase from all of this, that and everything else that's being/been hurled in my/our...

N.B. Methinks I was a lil out of it when I wrote this so just came back to correct the mistakes i've just picked out lol ... 27/12/08 Guess its my night for rambling ... sorry everyone. Everything is just so mixed up, stressful, hurtful, frustrating, angering, and every other word my smurfin brain ...

Righto, i'd better hit the hay and try and get some zzz's. Not sure if I will coz I completely forgot to get my Endep script refilled today so my brain is just going round in circles . P.S. I got NO sleep that night and was a literal grumpy momma bear with a very sore head. The Endep DOES switch of...

Christmas was a joyous day; Santa was good to me ... but my brain insisted on screwing it up and I was confined to bed at about 6pm Christmas Night with Troy thumping my legs with his fists from my hips to my ankles. It drove me to tears ... not the pain from Troy beating my legs, but the frustratio...

Merry Christmas. Happy Hanukkah, etc, etc, and a joyous celebration to everyone of ALL denominations and backgrouds. As I type, it's 2:20am ... Christmas morning ... ... "Santa" has been busy filling santa sacks and adding to the pile of presents under the tree. My best wishes to you all ....

Mark, Lynne, Susan, Corrie, Ann Thankyou all for wading through my posts and making some sense of my ramblings. "Neuropsychopharmacologists" ... that's a completely new one for me! I've done a bit of research on the web and there are not many here in Australia; but i've found three or four...

Betty my dear friend What a horrid time you've had! First with the falling on the ice and then with the porcelin king worshiping; and now a night fighting with your legs ... I DO hope you got that one hour of sleep! Same thing happened to me the nigh before last. First time i've had problems since I...

Damn you're fast! Augmentation is what i'm afraid of and if it IS that, then I guess my solution #1 was right on the money. Man ... this severely sucks!!!!!! Is it because that some of us get so sensitive to Dopamine drugs that we literally have to wipe them off the table altogether? Yeesh ... I hat...
