Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Not certain what sleep aid you are using. In my instance, over the years before I knew it was RLS I would use the non pharmaceutical ideas, heat packs, massage, cold packs, showers, etc. Then exhausted I'd ask the dr for something to help me sleep and he prescribed Ambien. It never helped at that po...

I'm fairly new here myself, yet it feels as if I have always belonged here! Glad you are finding your way around. One of the first things that helped me was the wonderful people who still come to rls.org. The second was all the information they have gathered and placed online in the new to rls secti...

No never shut up! hahahaha I can relate, it is my nature or sun sign or moon sign whatever, that initially I will be glum or depressed... yet I tend to be very private with my grief - you are right it is good to write and get it out...

Dear Penquinrocks and Shauntario, No smurfettes here? Isa talked till I was blue in the face, but not blue all over. Though I do know one man we call blue man or chem can larry... Just back from the Walnut Valley Bluegrass festival and three years back poor larry, his first time at the festival, wel...

Shaken, Met with skepticism... hmmmm this is something I have kept to myself now is probably a good time to mull this one over. There is that sense of self, quilt, hopelessness, we have developed over quite a few years that even though we have an illness with a name, that hope can be fleeting... it ...

Dear Randy, Pain and illness are like rough calleous hands peeling layers off our body and soul. It opens the pathways to inner doubts as to what it is to feel just right. The mind wanders trying to find some sense of direction. Is it lack of information? Certainly the feeling of isolation feeds one...

That makes my day! Penquin you have reached nobility! The ability to face adversity and not lose sight of ones true self! ((((BIG HUG))))) Love Hazel sending many *********positive thoughts**********

Maybe we can set up a photo album using yahoo or some such place and put the convention photos there for viewing. I would be happy to digitalize any photos you might send my way Ruby & return the originals. You live 3 hrs east of KC I live 3 hrs west.... sometime we will have to meet in the midd...

bump up just because it is informative

IMHO If someone is not willing to register even under false pretense, I say flamin' posts like this should be deleted. To many who suffer encounter enough of this kind of response in dealings with the general public and even uninformed professionals that such posts have no place in a website devoted...

When I was a child, my sister and I shared a double bed, till her complaining about me bothered the parents enough to get us twin beds! She'd be so mad, and I was like what??? *BG* I'd go to bed trying to be stiff and still... wasn't going to cross that line! hhhaaa Glad you had that special Aunt. N...
