Moonlight, I just really feel sad for you. It is bad enough to have this at night let alone all day too. It is so hard to want to sleep but have to keep moving, isn't it? I also have fibromyalgia, but it is the restless legs that have been at the forefront of my declinging health. This is certainly...

stockings

Viewsaskew: I had always blamed my fibromyalgia for my skin being so tender .................maybe it is the rls, huh? Since I have a number of situations, I am never sure what is causing the rls.....low back surgery, fibromyalgia or diabetes. Thing is, I had restless legs for years before any of th...

Susan, There are nights when I can't even stand having a sheet touch me so that must be why the stockings don't work for me, huh?

Ann, Thank you for your reply. I have wondered, too, if sugar could be the cause for severe RLS but through trial and error, it doesn't seem to be . I had Rls for many years before I had diabetes. Squirming Susan, Thank you, too, for your reply. It is a combination of RLS, fibromyalgia and diabetes ...

compression stockings

I tried the stockings but could only stand them a very short time. They hurt (maybe because of my fibromyalgia) but also felt like my legs were in restraints which made the "feeling" very bad. Karen

jesterfest youtube

Jesterfest, Thank you so much for your video. It looks exactly like what I go through. I felt almost sick at watching it because I had such empathy! I do this for hours before (sometimes) falling asleep. I have suffered like this for over 18 years. It has affected my health and my life very severely...

diabetes and RLS

Does anybody know if there is a connection between diabetes and RLS?
My RLS becomes active when BS is low or high or on the way up or down !
Like many of you RLS has really ruined my life! :(
