Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I'm going to be taking my Open Water certification soon and I was wondering how it will affect my RLS. Has anyone had any experience here?

Thanks

yeah I just have to find a happy medium

thanks everyone for the help. This past week has been a lot better. I've been taking the Magnilife for about a week or two and it's been taking care of things. We'll see how long it works and once it stops I may just have to go back to smoking. It's my best option, it works the quickest and is cheap...

I'm new to this board and I know no one knows me here but I feel that I have no one to talk to that understands what I'm going through. My RLS has been so severe lately and I feel like it's not getting any better. I figured maybe if I post/vent to you guys it might make me feel a little bit better. ...

I've never heard of it before but I'd be interested in it. Ibuprofen in the pill form helps me out a lot and I'd rather use a cream then take a pill

Has anyone else suffered severe muscle cramps at night? I'm not talking about dull achey cramps but sudden "charlie horse" massive pain leg cramps. It seems the night that I take Mirapex instead of marijuana I get a cramp in the middle of the night. Does this happen to anyone else?

I'm 25 and have had RLS since I was 13. MJ has been a miracle drug for me. I don't know what I would have done without it. Nights when the mirapex wouldn't work or the ibuprofen didn't put me to sleep MJ was the ONLY thing that worked. All I need is about 2-3 hits and I'm relaxed and ready for bed. ...

last night was my second night on Magnilife and I slept like a baby. I'm usually sensitive to most medications and always have a real problem with grogginess in the morning but I didn't have any of that with Magnilife. I felt pretty well rested. Hopefully it'll continue working that way
