Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my questions and other stuff. I am having a really hard time. As you know I am 5 and a half months pregnant. I am trying to get off my pain meds because I am tired of doctors and other people telling me how bad it is to be on those meds while pregnant...

Thankyou all for replying. Yes I am the same Lovechild. Hey Becat. I hope you are doing well. I am currently on percecet. I was on Ultram. I am scared for the baby's health, but I have no choice, so I try my hardest not to think about it. I am 5 months pregnant.

Has anyone tried Sinemet?

I am on Ultram and it works great, but sometimes I can't get it from the pharmacy for a couple of days and I stay in so much pain to where I can barely function. I have two children that I need to be there for, but I know what you are saying, and thankyou guys for replying to my Subject. I hope ever...

Has anyone actually tried getting SSI for their RLS? I have heard people say that you can not get it but I am just curious. ThanksJamie

I know how you feel. I moved here to Ohio from Florida to a small town with only a few doctors, who know nothing about RLS. I was on Kadian in Florida. It is like moriphine. I was scared to death when the doctor here told me that he would not prescribe that. I felt like he was an jerk and if only he...

O.K. I need for someone to please respond to this. How does Neurontin make you gain weight? Does it make you gain weight even if you don't eat that much on it. I am confused????????????? Please help.

Hey Stacey, My name is Jamie. I have had RLS for a year now. The best meds that work for me are Ultram and neurontin. You need to go and see a neurologist. Also stretching and walking helps too, but the meds work the best, but of course, everyone is different. I hope this helps. Jamie Lovechild3113

Penquin you mention sweating at night. For the last year or so I seem to sweat like a pig in the upper chest area (I am a guy not a girl) whenever I have dream (not necessarily a bad dream just a long one). I'll wake up for a second or two then feeling fine (but very, very sweaty) and feel like I j...

I am glad that you mentioned the mold situation because 3 years ago I lived with my parents for a couple of years when they bought a mobile home, and a year later we started noticing mold, so they went through all kinds of procedures and finally got specialists to come check out the mold. It ended u...

I am sorry that it feels like the world is crashing in on you becat. I am so sorry about your husband, and I will make it a point to pray for him. I can not say that I have been in the same boat with my husband, and I pray to God I never will, but I feel you when it comes to your grandmother. My gra...

My doctor told me that serequil, an anti- depressent, bipolar, etc., usually makes RLS worse, but I have not heard of anything else.

Well Guest If you find this site so hilarious, I feel very sorry for you. Your comments are rude and not appreciated Guest, you have no idea how we all suffer from this disease. It will all come back to you, and please do not respond to any of my messages. The last thing that we all need is someone...

I am new, but everytime I go to the chat room no one is on, and it is dissapointing because I would love to chat with other people with RLS and make friends with everyone.

I have been on Ultram for over a year now for back pain and now RLS. It has worked great for my RLS along with neurontin.
