Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

hi, i haven't really had a break through yet. i have a appointment in october with a neurologist, but other than that my doctor kinda has me on standby. i have had really bad syptoms the past several days, and i am miserble. my teachers are all really understanding though, they let me stand up and ...

yea, i get it in my arms as well, well its in my whole body, but in my legs and arms the worst

and i havent been on meds for it

i tend to sleep either with a pillow under or between my knees (depending what position i am in.

yea, three cats would disturb me, i cant even sleep with one cat on my bed

Aiken, nice drawing.

wow, thats alot of info.... so i am gonna try and be neat and orderly about responding. Sojourner: I haven't actually met any one who knows about/has rls (like in person near where i live) so .... but i will keep that in mind incase i do I've tried to get onto the chat, but my computer's filter is ...

i showed them the mayo clinic algortithim, and they feel that this site is more helpful to me than it would be to them. i'll look into getting the books. even if they dont want to read them. um.... where can i find them, cuz i google them and all i got was links to this site. which wasnt very helpf...

uh.... they pretty much only know what i tell them. so they are as naive as i am. no i can't get to cali, i am stuck seeing doctors in southern NH and that is it i don't know my actual ferritin level, i need to call this week. I'll get back to you on that so idk, i geuss i jsut need to wait and see ...

so i got the results of my blood test yesturday. everything came back negitive. my iron (ferritin) is, my thyroid is fine,i'm not diabetic, and all the other things thet tested are fine. which sucks, cuz that means i still don't know anything. so my dr. is sending me to a neurologist. sounds like f...

are there any medications i could get without a prescription that can help with rls symptoms?

yea its for ferritin, not iron she's the kind of doctor that likes to test all her of her variables before making a decision, which i think is good, just not helpful at the moment. also, i came to her with a plethera of problems. so i think thats why she was hesitant to act immidiately on my rls. l...

i have been complaining about no sleep lately. just figured i'd give an update. Because i am miserable right now so RLS is like the only thing on my mind. i went to a new doctor about rls on tuesday. actually, i used to go to her but switched when i was 12, but finally came to the conclusion she is...

I can't get an earlier appointment (already tried) . I have started taking naps around noon, which feels kinda silly cuz i am 15 , but it helps alittle bit . . . they dont tend to last long. My family is really helpful, and supportive, and yesturday we got a home reflexology 'kit' (its like a press...

I am sooo tired. my rls has been keeping me up and waking me up for 2 and a half weeks straight!!! i know that doesn't seem like a lot to some of you cuz ur symptoms are probably worse then mine. I'm not on any meds for my rls yet, but i am seeing a new doctor on the 26th, hopefully she'll give me ...

no offense to us, rls has a silly name... and that most people don’t even think it’s real… This just really sucks I totally know what you mean. i have a really hard time explaining it to teachers and qudience counselors at my school, they always resond to it with 'oh thats like kids shake there leg...

ok, so where can i find it again?
