Re: True friends
WOW... I have not logged into here in several months. And today, a day that I happen to be realizing how truly NOT MYSELF I really am... The first thread that I read is one that I can relate to so completely. I never really linked depression with RLS (or meds) - only sleep deprivation. I don't have ...

For me, it's definitely the muscle involvement. Sometimes I can manage by simply tensing my muscles; when I am unable to get up and walk. When it's really bad - and painful/achy - I do a lot of stretching and bending, and curling up and tensing. Last year, when I had surgery on my hip, RLS was a big...

I do drink coffee regularly, and I don't notice much difference with or without it. However... excessive amounts of caffiene such as energy drinks (monster, rock star, etc.) or those 5 hour energy shots kick my legs into super high gear to the point of not just wiggly, but so achy I can hardly bear ...

Requip gives me that dizzy/nauseous feeling about an hour after taking it. And taking it with food didn't seem to make a difference, either. Luckily, I only have to take it at night before going to bed, so I just make sure I lie down right afterwards. If I'm lying down, the dizziness doesn't come. H...

I don't talk about my RLS at all to anyone. Even my husband is skeptical, even though he's seen me squirm and moan and cry about it, and he knows that I take medicine for it. I'm actually dreading having to mention it to my surgeon (I'm having hip surgery in two weeks) at all, not to mention with my...

Hip Surgery
I know that we all have trouble "sitting still" for any length of time. I've seen suggestions for long drives, flights, meetings, etc... But now I've got another dilemma. Hip surgery is in my very near future. Both hips - about 3-6 months apart. Open hip surgery. I am so worried about what...

I remember going on a bus tour with some friends to New York, and I had to get up on my knees facing the back to get any relief. I do this all the time! At home - I curl up, sitting on my knees, facing the back of the couch and rock back and forth. Or in bed, I will curl my knees under my chest, wi...
