I'm just curious - have you tried taking a second or third shift job?
I cannot work first shift. The RLS puts too much pressure on me to do that.
When I went to college, I went to night school. I AM a nightwalker. I like that term.
It still hurts. Mirapex helps me deal with it.

The information always seems 'light' to me. I know that I am not the only RLS sufferer who has been through total HELL with the thing. Lucilly I am having a good spell now, but for a long time I could hardly walk or sit and my symptoms were constant and very painful. To me most of these sites make R...

I wouldn't want to do that. When I've skipped doses of Mirapex, then I take it the next day, I notice that daytime sleepiness is much worse and sometimes feel a wee bit sick at my stomach. As long as I take it everyday, I don't have those side effects. Plus, my RLS stays under control so much better...

Oh yeah - that happened to me bigtime. I was in a rocker boot for uh, too long, and during that time my RLS changed and I was having constant pain day and night. It was miserable until I went on Mirapex. I was freaking. I thought I had bone cancer but couldn't get anyone to listen to me. It got bett...

It very well could be the RLS itself. I have terrible pain with mine - like broken bone kind of pain. Or if you've ever had really bad shin splints and mashed on your shins - that kind of pain - its a lot like that except you don't have to do the mashing, all you have to do is be still. My RLS just ...

Mirapex is great for me, but I see things. I don't admit it to my doctor. It helps a lot, I don't want to give it up. I'll live with all the little black lizards and bugs that I see, even the big black dog I saw in my kitchen. I don't know why, but everything I see that is not there is always black.

Mine was like yours for years. I just bounced and vibrated a lot and it didn't hurt, it bugged me sometimes that I could not get to sleep when I needed to, and the jerky heeby jeebies would get me right as I drifted off. Then I had a ankle/nerve injury and spent a long time in a cast and mine change...
