I always have a supply of hydrocodone myself, which does a very nice job of fixing pretty much anything for me, just have to near the bed when I indulge. I was hesitant, though, to start taking it and risk getting hooked on it if there was a chance that this might subside. I'll get myself a couple n...

For Ladies Only...
Sorry guys, but you're just not gonna have the answer to this
Anyone else notice a "monthly" increase in symptoms? Or is that my imagination.

Opinions on my flare up, please
Suddenly my symptoms have this vengeance like I've never experienced before. My arms are sometimes much worse than my legs and I'm having a lot of involuntary twitching. The med I've successfully taken for years (Ultram, my beloved) is suddenly useless. I've experimented with timing and dosing and w...

I can't remember a time when I didn't occasionally get my achies at night. It was waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy less frequent when I was younger, but I definitely had them. Whenever I said something about them, they were written off as growing pains. Sadly, this couldn't have been more wrong, since based on t...

Duh!
Okay, so now I see how old the posts in this thread are and that it has, indeed, been made into a sticky. But, since it appears that the generics might still be needed, maybe the generics list could be added to the sticky? I'm afraid I don't know the protocol on that--if it's okay for me to just mak...

Generics of "danger" drugs
Sadly, I know this stuff off the top of my head, so here ya go: Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Antivert (meclizine), Atarax (hydroxyzine), Bonine (meclizine), Compazine (prochlorperazine maleate), Phenergan (promethazine), thorazine (chlorpromazine), Tigan (trimethobenzamide), Trilaton (perphenazine), ...

I can certainly understand why they'd want to avoid listing the potential adverse reactions on the commercial. I understand that that this list includes anything that could possibly happen, but when you actually HEAR it in a commercial, it's scarier. It's like, "Take this and every single aspect of ...

Yes--I believe the one I'm thinking of was for Allegra when it was first introduced. Just a woman running through a meadow; it really could have been one of those "not so fresh feeling" commercials from all you could tell. Scary to think how many people went to their doctors convinced that they need...

It's a little disheartening to see that this Education Awareness week is listed along with things like "National Baked Bean Month" and "Don't Step on a Bee Day". LOL! Hey--at least it's getting out there, right? Seriously, though--I actually heard on the radio that this was RLS Awareness week as wel...

All of the pharmaceutical commercials that target the patients are insane and I'm sure they make the physicians insane, too. I don't remember which product it was, but there was one commercial a few years ago that recommended that you ask your doctor if "X" could be right for you, but it gave you ab...

Finding the right doctor
Ray, you wrote that despite the fact you went to your appointment 110% prepared (well done, You), your doctor was completely clueless after your presentation (complete with visual aids and handouts ). Unfortunately, RLS is yet another one of those things that is, at this point, completely unkown/com...

Thanks everyone
Actually, after a decent night's sleep, I have been able to more rationally think about the situation today. I basically did decide to kind of wait it out. I figure that with all these potential aggravators going on at one time, it's most likely that it will get better. It just got SO bad yesterday ...
