Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

You have to remember, I'm from a very small town (about 350 population), so my Dr. has not seen this condition probably ever. They don't understand it, they don't know anything about it, and they surely don't know what to perscribe for it. The oxycodone was on accident - they gave it to me for my ba...

Okay last time I don't remember if it made them worse or not... this time though my doc gave me a starter pack on Friday morning. I had a full blown kicking crying jag that night and then remembered that I had the starter pack and took one of them and 15 mg of percocet. In about an hour, it calmed d...

I was wondering about this "rebounding/augmentation", since it IS worse the last few days I've been re-trying it. Also, I was having a bad eposoide when I took the very first pill, so it might just be that I'm having a bad few days and it had nothing to do with the requip. Does everyone he...

...find out what things people dislike and have experienced - being tickled, sticking tongue on 9 volt battery, poison ivy - then I ask them to imagine that inside their body, where they cannot stop it expect by moving around. That moving is like the calamine lotion or taking the battery off the to...

The only person that I think REMOTLY gets it is my husband and my brother, because they are the only two people that have seen a full blown "epsoide" where I could not at all sit still and was filpping out and kickin and yelling. When I was pregnant once my brother had to sit on the edge o...

Zack: I posted a longer thread in "New to RLS"; but I've tried many different types of meds over the last 6 months, so for the only one that I can currently afford and is working is oxycodone and I sometimes take colotopin (sp?) at night, but I'm not sure it really does anything. My husban...

This could be a crazy thought, but I'm so excited to see this board and now am racking my brain with all the information I'm finding and trying to put the peices of my own situation together. Anyway, here's a thought: Could lack of sex worsen RLS? Now, I've had RLS for the majority of my life, but i...

They have done blood work and the only thing that showed up abnormal was my sodium levels; which is odd because I use a LOT of salt. Other than that, everything looked good. I did have gestational diabeties, though, but I was lucky to not have developed diabeties afterward. I do not recall any menti...

Thanks for the (informational) reply! I belive I have primary RLS and I do belive that the other symptoms I'm having are in some way related to the RLS, I just can't figure out how. I've never had any sort of health problems before (except the gallbladder problems), so I think it'd be unlikely that ...

Hey everyone! It's so AMAZING to see everyone here, for far too long I was feeling all alone. I have had RLS for most of my life, but it was always just a once-a-month-or-so-only-at-night-problem up until about mid-way though my last pregnancy with my now 7 and a half month old daughter. The doctors...
