This is Jar or Stitch back again' I haven't been here for some time not doing too good these days. I will be 85 on June 8th. Last November I told my doctor that I had Polymyalgia Rheumatica again. If you don't know what it is it means many pains in many bones. He gave me a blood test and my sed rate...

Hi Everyone and I hope all is doing well, This is Stitch and it will be the name I use for now on. I thought I had it figured out until I went to see that new doctor yesterday. What a let down. She didn't do anything that I didn't already know and some that I knew and she didn't. I was telling all a...

Hi Polar Bear, Do you have a name or just go by Polar Bear? My night time meds are working out good and I am sleeping almost 7 hours now. I had two really bad evenings into all night. Smoking seems to help and I begged Doug to buy some. I smoked for a week and I didn't like it that much. The next we...

Polar Bear, I take 1mg cut in half in the morning and the other half at night. They wanted me on more but i said no. My name is Jeannie and my whole spells JAR.

My chat room name is "Xstitchinglady", the X for counted. Since then I am Stitch - Stitchie - Stitchielady and on and on. I had to give up th...

I think I have forgotten how to answer you. But the I am taking 1/2 mirapex in the morning and 1/2 in the evening. Only 1mg a day.

As most of you know I have been around for a long time. I come and go and years later I am back. Well I am back to tell you all what might be good for me. I have been on Mirapex 3mg's three times a day for years. It worked. Then all at once not long ago my legs went crazy and I was getting maybe two...

I have turned 84 and my legs are worse then ever/ I have no where to go, the doctors know nothing. They just say double the mariapex and I was taking 1.5 three times a day. that is not right. I am getting to the point that I just want to die. I use to be a happy person now all I want to do is feel s...

I hope I can go back to my old name Stitch/Jeannie I have lots to talk about and not any of it is good. I really don't know where to start but since I have been gone there is nothing new for RLS people. Or is it the doctors still don't know enough yet? I thought their would be more new things to hel...

I don't have much time now, going to see the dr. I use to post here back in the 1980's(?) under the nick Stitch. Well I am now 84 and having lots of problems. I will post more later but I can't sleep any more, legs move all the time. I want to see what the dr has to say. It's good to be back. Laters
