Poem I Found On Website

My boss put me on another team so I wouldn't have to fly with WED. Go to m then go to the bottom and click on RLS poems. There are...

Re: doctor in mississippi

Go to rls.org and click on "find a doctor". I see three, which are listed below. If you call to make an appointment, make sure they specialize in WED because what happened to me was I went to a doctor that was said on a fibromyalgia site that she specialized in fibromyalgia. She told me sh...

Re: RLS and Suicide?

I thought of suicide as I was laying in pain throughout my entire body, especially my legs. The thought immediately left my mind as soon as I thought of what it would do to my husband. I threw it out of my mind but that does not mean I do not understand because when I get flare ups, it does come int...

Thank you Ann. Having PN, Fibromyalgia, and WEB all together can be confusing, especially when trying to treat or get control of things.

Re: New to Site

Hi Jordan, Welcome to the site. In regards to Mirapex, it works wonders for me; however, it can cause augumentation and is dangerous for those with heart conditions. Although what I write below may not be what you are asking, this is very informative, not only for you but for all members. It is not ...

Re: getting a doctor to understand

I strongly recommend you do not take opioids. It is a serious narcotic and very additive. A person I know ended up divorced because she got put on oxycondone for pain. She needs more and more to make the pain go away. Opioids can ruin your life as well as your relationships. In other words, it can b...
