Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I got the Electrical Nerve Conduction test. Don't let any one tell you it won't hurt. It was most unpleasant. And they found nothing wrong with my nerves etc. Another test and no bad results. I worked every day this week in the water at a pool for my legs. Ihave been working them extra hard since Fe...

The heat throw works when I ache.
Not for numbness or the feeling of heat running up my veins and other unexplained weird sensations.

Hi Hazel I love to put warm Pj's on out of the dryer. I hope you can find a heating throw they are really neat. I also have a heating mattress pad on my bed. I bought a twin size and cut the one half out so it would not tuck in a bed and put it on our big bed. I was hoping it would just cover my sid...

Starting a week, Yes now at least a full week before menstrual cycle. Every thing is worse. It does feel like a curse to me. The day of it is even worse than worse. It will last for about 3 days into cycle and then I start to feel like better. Human even. This year I have started to ache very badly ...

Hi Hazel You could buy two pair of every thing. So you can rotate your clothes. I love my throw. I use it almost nightly on the bed. I put it next to the top sheet then a blanet over top etc. It does not cover my husbands side of bed so he is not too warm. I am cozy. 50" by 60" It has 3 settings. It...

Hi Ann You did not scare me . I got extra sick over the winter there was no doubt that food was helping to cause me to feel horrible. I had acid reflux that the Dr said had nothing to do with what I ate but she was wrong. I was on a medication for it and I hardly ever take the medication now because...

Dear Ann I really don't believe I have Celiac . If I had gotten worse instead of improved I would of went and got more testing done. This week I added some oatmeal and spelt back into my diet. These foods appear not to cause me trouble like so many others foods do. I would like more data on how it a...

HI Hazel and Ann Thank you for your compassion. I just needed to vent. Answers to some of your questions I am 48 years old and have been diagnosed with Periodic leg movement disorder several years or so ago. My husband will go with me next time to the Dr. Yes the Dr diagnosed me with celiac disease ...

Has any one had an Electric nerve Conduction test done on legs and feet? I had one sheduled for me and then I called and cancelled it. My Husband was sending off a bill for the last Dr I seen an Orthopedic Dr he took all sorts of X-rays and told me it was the corrected shoes I wore a child that caus...

I drink Tonic water. I was told to drink 4 onces a night of tonic water. Lately I carry a cold quart bottle to the gym with me and drink it fefore and after water exercise. Drinking of the water is good. I like the bitter taste. You can flavor it with cherry syrup you can buy in the grocery store. I...

I went an Orthopedic Dr two months for the first time. Because my feet and legs were so stiff in the mornings. I had difficulty walking down the stairs at my normal pace. I was worried about my arches. I slowed down on my exercise and was limping . After doing all sorts of X-rays and other stuff he ...

This winter we had come to our town a new Wal-greens drug etc store. One of the first things they stocked and had on special before Dec 25 was a throw blanket that heated up with plugged in. It is not as large as a twin size bed blanket and its thin. Light weight and it has 3 temperatures. I have an...

Hi Hazel Thank you for your kindness and reply's. Wow that would be horrible to feel like a chain saw was cutting off your legs. I searched and finally found the papers that came with some Med's I am taking for allergy's. At least one of them has side effects that could be making my legs worse. I ha...

Hi When I was first told I had this thing that kept me from sleeping a good nights sleep for most of my young life. It was amazing to me and still is that some thing like a disorder of my legs or what ever could keep me from sleeping . I never heard of it before. I am happy to know what it is than n...
