Sunday, August 20 Welcome to Hannah, whose RLS has not only affected her life but it's like it affected her soul. When she mentions that she suffers from RLS, she always have to add, "do you know what is RLS and the answer is not always yes", unfortunately, so she never misses the opportun...

Saturday, August 19 Welcome to Karine, whose lack of sleep due to RLS + depression are too much to handle at once. Finding a way to stop or at least reduce the RLS would be a great help to come out of the depression. And she would like to know what's maybe still coming as she is still quite young (4...

Saturday, August 19 Welcome to GilbertB, who has been suffering of RLS since his student time. He is now 67 and it is getting worse although I use Siffrol and practice sports and so on.

Welcome to

Jwags, who is unable to sleep more than a couple of hours.

Please feel free to take a look around and then please post a note telling more about your RLS, what you are doing to manage it and asking any questions that you have.

Thanks for that. Fear of theft is why I keep no more than 3 weeks of opioid meds outside of my safe. We live in a building with enhanced security, but this way even if someone managed to get into my flat, all they would find is some mmj, gabapentin, allergy pills and a few methadone pills. Yes, it w...

Thursday, August 17 Welcome to ranwil, whose RLS is ruining ranwil's life. Augmentation following 12 mg. Requip for 10 years. The only thing that works is a benzo/opiate cocktail and as a disabled vet, ranwil is having an extremely difficult time getting even low dose, effective medication. We all u...

Please post a ling telling us a bit more about you...

Peggy, the first thing that I tried when we visited here 2 yrs ago were the chocolates. I liked them and obviously they worked well since we decided to move. However, they were so crumbly that they could not be split from their 10mg dose. I have seen large chocolate bars at the dispensaries since th...

Now that you have an idea of how the tinctures work and their speed, you might give some thought to trying the edibles. They don't kick in as quickly, but last longer. I can get candies in the form of "pucks" that are disks of the same material they make gummy bears from and these disks ar...

Annwelle, who can't do anything in the evening because she is too tired from the medication she takes to manage her RLS.

Wednesday, August 16 Welcome to Aj23, who has not been diagnosed by a doctor yet but this pain and weird feeling in Aj23's legs is causing worry and has left Aj23 very sleep deprived. After you have had a chance to read through "A great place to start" at the top of this forum, please post...

I will agree with what Polar Bear has said. Empty nest is part of the life of almost every parent and is a sign that you raised them correctly. But relationship problems are a totally different matter. My relationship with my wife has been the only thing that has kept me going at times. When a docto...

The only time that I tried it was at a kava ceremony when I visited a small island in Fiji. The only reaction that I can remember was a tingling in my mouth and that it tasted like dirty dishwater.

Tuesday, August 15 Welcome to JohnHur, who can't keep still, which is affecting his work since it requires sitting at a computer for hours at a time.
