Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi there, Just wanted to let you all know I had my baby, a boy, on December ninth, at 12.55pm at home attended by husband, midwife, daughter and doula. His name is Ozdoghan Errol Ismail but you can call him Ozzy He was 4.2 kg (over nine pounds). As a result, my RLS has reduced to an occasional annoy...

Thanks Charlene

Last night was codeine free and still not too bad It's amazing the difference even a few hours of uninterrupted sleep makes, I'm doing OK thank God... Just getting very excited about meeting the new person now

Thank-you Charlene and Susan Well last night was ok Took two Panadeine (19 mg codeine) before bed, then got up and had Tension Tamer Tea when first attack kicked in (have been visiting rlsrebel also used some cognitive stuff I learnt there which helped). YK I think the iron shots irritate my RLS for...

I'm a mess I've got six weeks or so to go before I have my third baby and my RLS status is at an all time low. I had to ask my husband to skip work today because I had had about an hour and a half's sleep when the kids got up and I couldn't cope. I went back to bed and had another couple of hours an...

Hi Susan Yes it is the end of Ramadan No, I didn't fast due to pregnancy and iron deficiency. I tried ironing myself out again yesterday LOL and yes I slept better but RLS back again- only one time badly during the night so not all night or multiple "attacks". It started in the car on the way home l...

We've just celebrated eid, and for the last two days and nights I have been chasing my 19 month old daughter around parks and halls, eating lots of sweets, drinking arabic coffee and dancing. I'm also heavily pregnant. THE LAST TWO NIGHTS- DEEP, BEAUTIFUL SLEEP AND NO RLS :0 Obviously I can't do thi...

Hey there psychick- you might be right about L-tryptophan; last night I didn't take anything, not even my iron and calc mag etc because I crashed out right after dinner. And I had the best night I've had in ages LOL, by an RLS sufferer's standards anyway. Thanks Charlene baby is due mid-December. Us...

Thanks for your support Charlene; I've needed it. Nobody really understands but fellow sufferers. My doctor seemed amused by my suggesting methadone- he said he thought that methadone would probably fix anything. I told him that there seemed to be quite a few people who were genuinely helped by it. ...

Had 15mg codeine last night and noticed only slight effect- a bit more inclined to doze off a bit. As usual as soon as I turn off tv my legs start up again, LOL how bizarre. Had the other half a tab a bit later and not much difference. Should have had whole one at bedtime but worried about baby (30 ...

Thanks for the advice I was thinking of asking the doc about methadone- but I read something about SIDS... I don't remember exactly what it was... To date I've had three iron shots over six weeks and am on two supplements, iron amino acid chelate so its not consitpating. My ferritin has doubled to 2...

Hi this forum has been great I'm 30 wks pregnant, anaemic and have sufferd RLS on and off my whole life and severely in all three of my pregnancies. My symptoms resolve after the births. This time, however, it's gotten really bad early. I had my first completely sleepless night last night after a ru...
