Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thank you Polar Bear, this will do.

I have been trying to find the Mayo Clinic Algorithm for the treatment of RLS. I get a message that the page is missing. I checked on here because i know it has been made available in varies areas and got the same result when I clicked on the link. Does anybody know if it is still available and ...

I just read this article about research being done with Cannabis sativa that may make it possible to reduce the effects of the THC while providing the medical benefits of other compounds found in marijuana.

Thought I 'd pass it on.

Brenda,

So sorry to hear about your husband. I pray that the angels minister to you.

When the warm weather came I took off my compression stockings. At first I was happy to have them off as I was able to go barefoot at a moments notice. I noticed my RLS getting worse, first just at night then during the day. I didn't make the connection between the socks and the increased RLS at ...

I think you are very brave. You are doing what is best for you and your baby. There is no shame in taking care of yourself so your baby can be born healthy. Even if baby has to detox after birth, it is better than what could happen if you don't get your RLS under control. I hope you find peace in ...

Hi Betty,

I know what you mean about the knees and pain from anything tight around them. I searched for stockings that had a very loose band around the top and if I push them down a bit below my knees, they don't bother me at all! And they don't fall down. There are so many types of compression ...

I have the knee high stockings. They took some getting used to as I too don't like pressure on my legs. I can't even stand a sheet at night. I tried wrapping my legs in ace bandages too, that lasted about two minutes. I couldn't get them off fast enough. My RLS affects my legs, torso, arms and ...

I got my stockings 20-30 compression. I love them! They really reduce the pain I always feel in my legs. Today is Tuesday my second day at work wearing the stockings. I have not had RLS in my legs either day and I sit at a desk. Usually by 10:30am I am squirming. I also sleep better at night. I don ...

Thanks Brenda, I'm going to look on ebay right now.

I am following this discussion about compression stockings and want to try them. I have a few questions. What type of stocking is a compression stocking? I searched and found many different types ex. for embolisms, painful legs, thrombosis etc. Also, what strength compression is recommended? Knee ...

I have. I tried it for about three months. I didn't notice any difference and stopped. Everybody's different and if you try it I hope it helps you.

Good article - thanks

I got sudafed non-drowsey sinus and after one dose had to take an extra percoset to get to sleep. Today at work I have taken 1/2 percoset at 8:00am and another at noon. It is now 2:30 and I'm squirming. Oh well, I won't do that again. Susan, I got a neti pot yesterday and am going to use it as a ...

Have to clarify something....my Dr. said sudafed non-drowsey is o.k.
