Need to Get Serious About Combatting RLS

I was very active on this site back in the fall, and the more I read from others, the more depressed I became. It seemed that there was no real relief, only temporary relief from Requip, which makes me very sleepy, and I take 4 mgs a day. I guess I stopped reading and learning, thinking that I would...

I know you need sleep, as I have spent many frustrating nights in the same boat as you....all of us here have. I have found that sometimes, not always, but sometimes I can sit in my rocker/recliner and (i know this is going to sound silly) whichever side is bothering me that night, I put my other ll...

Aiken, I'm new to this and admittedly not very knowledgeable yet, but your post concerned me, and I realize that you wrote that six months ago. I want to know if you're still experiencing this with your eyes. I hope you had that checked out, because your symptoms MIGHT BE lots of things. I'm sure yo...

Riding in a car

Why is it that I can drive 100 or 200 miles and not experience any symptoms, but if I'm a passenger, just sitting there is horrible. Isn't that strange?

I like the idea of sharing somehow so we will know when others are on. I tried using the messenger tonight to reply to a post fro Becat, and when I pushed "send", I was told the server was unavailable...very frustrating, or I need some instruction in how to communicate better on line. thanks.

Hi. I'm very glad to have found this. I never realized there were such good resources for information and support. No one understands this. I've thought for years that this was psychosomatic, because it only happens when I'm still and thinking about it....dreading it is the better term. My symptoms ...
