Couldn't have said it better myself. RLS makes you not sleep. When you're not sleeping the tendency to eat sneaks in. Then you don't work off the extra calories. So you gain weight. I've had RLS as long as I can remember. I didn't start gaining weight until it got really bad and I wasn't sleeping. A...

I can't carry a tune in a bucket...but this is harmless as long as only my dogs, cat, and birds hear. I once asked my doctor why my legs hurt only if I'm at rest. (or sometimes when I walk too much). He said your brain can only absorb so much input. So maybe the singing is a distraction from the pai...

This may be going into the back door. But, do you know any RN's? I had two surgeries this year and both times the pre-admin nurse asked me if I was on Requip for RLS. And then wrote instructions on the forms of anti-nausea drugs not to give me. Sometimes they know more than some doctors. Maybe you c...

Sleuth, be very careful of antidepressants. I think my gp has had me on every one on the marked. He thought I was depressed and that was the reason I could not sleep. I took Ambilify...the only thing that happened was diabetes. Read the warnings on the box. He changed me to another one that I though...

Jupe, I told my gp about the dry mouth thing . He did not say what he thinks caused it. He gave me a prescription for Evoxac. I've only been taking it for about a week and so far may have a slight improvement. I have talked with several people that are also taking this and they say it works. Maybe i...

I saw my GP today. We had a long discussion. He thinks the pain is a form of neuropathy and told me this was just the way it reflected on me. I asked about staying on the Lortab and he did not have a problem with that. I really feel better after talking to him. He did change the dose from7.5/350 to ...

I will try to make this short. I'm diabetic and have had a nerve conduction study. It showed some damage in both legs. I have had RLS as long as I can remember. (I'm 61)...My GP has run every test in the book to find out the reason for my almost continuous leg pain. (mostly in my calves). I have jus...

I have the dry mouth syndrome, just never made the connection with the Mirapex. I have an appointment next week with my gp. I'll ask. There is a brand of toothpaste, mouthwash and mouth rinse on the market. It helps a little. My dentist was the dr that brought my lack of saliva to my attention. Up u...

Hello WAM...My pain clinic dr just weaned me off Lyrica. I was on 150 2xs a day. I was on it for over a year. He cut it back to 100 and then off over about a week. I did not have any problems and did not seem to need it. There may have about 3 days of nerves but that was manageable. But then again, ...
