Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I just had my appointment with my GP yesterday. It was very disappointing. In and out. I had a notebook with questions and everything. Did not get to discuss much. He still thinks and won't discuss anything else, that the pain is from diabetic neuropathy. What I need to know is does anyone else have...

Kyler, tell her the truth. If she's worth it she'll understand..Pat

Josh, that was poetic...and sad but true...my husband moved to another room so that he could get some sleep...Pat

Sugbrenda, I do know what your mean. My mom had the jerks. We have three generations that have RLS. My sick sense of humor kicked in when I read your thread. I know a few "big Jerks" that give me a pain in the butt. Charlene, thanks for asking. I'm on 1 mg of Requip at night. Sometimes I will take o...

ok, this is really getting wierd...The pain started out just in my calves and s.ometimes my feet..It's now moved to my thighs and lower back. The muscles around my tailbone. I know this isn't the kidney stones..different kind of pain. Anybody have this kind of movement? I know i am probably augument...

Ok, Mark, you first...My husband just had this surgury and came out just fine. of course he doesnt' have RLS..But they did give him Lortab and for me that works pretty good with the control of RLS. You will probably be out patient, right? They let you take your regular meds right after surgury and y...

I take Lortab 7.5 hydrocodone mix and recently had a kidney stone that they gave me dilauid(sp?)for. I did not notice a difference. Both seem to work pretty good for the RLS pain. The Lortab does not make me feel as tired or sleepy. I will admit to a little experiment with the dilauid just to see if...

Nothing personal, Judy..but you've got to be kidding!! I would be dead by now with no thyroid, diabetes and not to mention very painful RLS.. Personally I'll take all the help I can get..Pat

Afternoon everone....Anyone out there that's switched from Neurotin to Lyrica and had good results? My diabetes and neuro have my GP convinced my RLS is from slight nerve damage. It's not. I've had it as long as I can remember. (Mom had it and two of my children have it). GP also has me on Requip (w...

Anne...Perfect....Chiassme, sounds to me like you got it. I'm sooo sorry. But take heart. There is help out there. Read up as much as you can and find a sympathic doctor. (easier said than done) Good luck and keep us UTD....Pat

OK Folks, this may be a little off course...But... I have a kidney stone. Actually 2 kidney stones. Passed one..I have been put to sleep twice this week for "procedures" and been given Dilaudid off and on for pain. No pain in the legs or jumpy legs while in the hospital. The stones started to pass o...

Thanks, Charlene...I found one 100 miles from here..but that's ok..He has several web sites and seems to be some kind of expert in sleep disorders. I will call him Tuesday. I just hope he won't want to put me through another sleep clinic. Been there and it wasn't pleasent. By the way, is RLS conside...

You know Dee, you really are lucky. I don't know how many times my doctor and his nurses have told me that going on line is the worst thing I can do. I just don't understand. I have been on Sinimet. It augmented into 24/7 pain. I was changed to Requip. No difference. Still pain..I was considering ge...

I have a drs apt in 2 weeks. I'm taking Dr. B's book and notes I'v taken from this site. They really don't like you going on line.. I think they are scared we are going to know more than they know.. Bless you and good luck with your Dr's apt. My triggers, like most every one is Just existing... Pat

Hello again Betty...boy is my face red...I was typing away and instead of your name I typed message body..Really wasn't paying attention..Sorry...and again good luck....Pat
