Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thanks guys. Last night was lovely. I got to spend time with the husband even though he had to work late. He had me order chinese food for lunch which I love, lol. He got me ice cream last night after we had a nice dinner. I had to cook dinner myself, but personally I dont trust him to cook what I m...

I know that I need to do something about this. You guys have given me great advice and everything...I really appreciate it. I cant do this on my own and I realize it. I'm getting on insurance soon, so I'll be able to afford to get the help that I need with this. My husband has been more understandin...

Thank you for that. It really was something that I needed to read. I guess I've been overly anxious about this because I don't want to be like my mother. She complains that she is in constant pain...I do believe this to an extent, but I feel that there is no way that someone can be constantly sick e...

Thanks guys. As far as the "nookie" goes...this happens almost every night. I'd like to think that it helps, but sadly it doesn't. Hes a good person...but he just thinks that things like this are in peoples heads. I will see if he will read these things, but I highly doubt that he will. He...

Thanks for understanding yall. I did not receive a call from my doctors office like I was told that I would, so I called them. The nurse that took my call yesterday said that she would tell my doctor and have him write a prescription. I called back this morning to tell her about me wanting to try so...

I could not imagine my calves doing that. I hate charlie horses, so I keep thinking that it would feel exactly like a charlie horse! I feel so sorry to hear that RLS effects you so badly. I get to the point where I cannot stand anything touching my legs. It seems like the nerves are standing straigh...

I thought about that all last night before I even read this post this morning. I started thinking that what if the smaller dosage doesn't work, but still gives me the side effects that I do not want to have. I got a call from a different nurse this morning because the nurse I spoke to yesterday was ...

I have tried numerous things at once with no such luck. I take OTC sleeping medication which makes me FEEL sleepy, but once I lay down its completely useless. Before I go to bed I always take a hot bath and lay back and stretch my legs. I usually reach for my toes and hold that position for a few m...

When I can get it! Sleep does not come easy to me...I am sure most (if not all) of you understand how I feel about this. I love sleep. I really do. I just wish that the night contained more hours of me actually sleeping in peace rather than tossing, turning, and trying to find a comfortable position...

Yes, I forgot to ask for that test when I went to see my doctor last time. I need to try to get in so I can get this tested. The idea that my symptoms could decrease or go away...sounds heavenly to say the least. WED is terrible and I hate not sleeping because it makes me grumpy. I'm a really happy ...

I have taken anti depressants for quite a while...but I always take myself off of them when I feel like I do not need them anymore. This has happened several times since I was first put on them at 13 years old. I cannot say for sure if the WED is better or worse when I do not take them. It seems lik...

Thank you all so much for your support. I feel so much better since I have found this site and found people who truly understand what living with WED is like. My doctor understood which felt amazing. Since being off of the Ambien I have felt more like myself...stable pretty much. I don't feel the de...

Ice cream doesn't make my symptoms worse. I guess I'm lucky, lol. I went to the doctor the other day...he put me on Ambien to help me sleep. I flushed it down the toilet after taking it for a couple of days. It made me talk in my sleep and basically despise my husband and lose all trust that I had i...

Hi everyone! I'm Jessica and I'm 26 years old. I have never been diagnosed with RLS, but I know this is what I have because of the research that I've done. It all started when I was around 15 years old. I had went through some very tough times with my family due to my parents almost getting a divorc...

Thanks! We had a very nice dinner together and had some ice cream afterwards. Now hes watching videos on his computer.
