Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I take tramadol and ropinerole for rls symtoms. The tramadol helps a great deal with relief but although my symptoms may be at ease, sleep is very poor, even with the use of zopiclone. I don't know if it is the tramadol and it may be coincidental, but it is not the first time I have heard this comme...

Juls, paper received ok, and looks great. I've emailed back to you with a comment.
I am indeed well impressed.

This is the first time I've heard of this. Glad it is helping you.

Hi Juls, I do not appear to have received a copy of your paper. I tried to email you on jh211707@ohio.edu. but only got a message that email could not be sent to ""Missing or Malformed Recipient""". My email address on my profile is: jumpylegs19@yahoo.co.uk It would be great...

Very interesting, I hadn't heard of cutting out the potatoes before. Glad your experiment is working.

Pennynick, I don't have a 'specialist' but I do have a very willing and cooperative GP who is very happy to use the Mayo Clinic Algorithm as a guideline for medications. At present I take a cocktail of requip and tramadol with Lunesta for sleep at night. Having suffered for 30+ years I take 4mg requ...

Excellent that your family doctor is working along this path with you. It makes such a difference when doc is willing and cooperative.

Enjoy

It must be so good to feel things are on the right road.
A happy day that you visited Dr B.

I think I understand how you felt when the oxygen was delivered. Sort of like having to admit to yourself..... gosh.... I need this stuff. !

And then consider what happened next ?? Wonderful - 8 hours sleep zzzzzzzz........

I've been using the nasal spray decongestants several times over the winter and haven't noticed any extra rls.

You are right - I wouldn't have wanted the Levadopa either. """ [i]I am going to post again when I know what's happening with me. Is it ok if I try to keep in touch? just so I don't feel like a stranger the next time I'm in dire need [/i]? """ Of course it is ok to keep...

I have Dr B's book, there are little pieces of paper sticking out of it marking certain pages, it is marked with asterisks * all over the place, highlighted in spots. The book and the Mayo Clinic Algorithm are such important pieces of information. I have an ordinary manilla folder, in it is a copy o...

Beth, Its great to read your post, you sound so much more positive and proactive.

What a difference a day or so has made.
Have a good day.
