Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

To two of my favorite nuts! You know who you are! Thanks for your support. Next time I say that I'm going to sign my name James Bartles (I think y'all will remember him). Seriously, I could not have armed mysel with the informaton nor stood up to/with my doctor today without the help, support and lo...

Wow, Moonlight, what a neat experience! I am so proud of you and happy for you. You hung in there and it was definitely worth it! It sounds like a good family experience as well which I know you needed. I look forward to reading many more of these posts and I know there will be some. I also know the...

Gill, I am so sorry you are going through this. Not being able to look forward to going to bed is common for those of us that have been there (or still are). I hope your doctor visit is a success and you are finally given something for your rls. It was really good chatting with you last night even t...

Hi Family, Okay, so, I took Dr. B's book that he wrote with a couple of other doctors with me, I printed the Mayo Clinic Algorythm, and documents from the Stroke and Movement Disorders and some other medical web site and took these printout too. A lot to give the good ol doc to read before bedtime. ...

Aiken -- I agree with your thinking on this subject. As I am well aware that this is a publilc forum, I don't care that what I say here (carefully measured) is known. I only hope others are as cautious with their personal information that they may not want or can't afford to have get out to the wron...

And if you could post your attitude outside of this board, we'd appreciate it. Enough is enough. You should just pack up your toys and go home now. Don't you think it's time to act like a mature adult and quit whining and being authoritative where you have absolutely no authority? Get a life and try...

Mesolo, You appear to be a choir of one here. If it bothers you so much that we post our thoughts and feelings and they don't agree with yours . . . you, being the minority, should go find yourself somewhere else to stir up people. We've decided to rise above your rudeness and respond in kind . . . ...

We could use the anger relief sometimes I guess. Then there's the comic relief too . . . we could always call ourselves the RLS Postables . . . although that just sounds like another cereal. I know, we could have a cereal competition between RLSP and COW. What do you think? Oh, my, I just read what ...

Hi Mio, welcome to the board. I'm so sorry to hear of your problems. I was where you are with the sleep (or should I say non-sleep) experience less than a month ago. It's only been the last week that I've started getting some relief - not total but enough to get some sleep. I hope you have a doctor ...

Moonliight, I'm so sorry you are going through this rough time. I wish therre were a majic potion to cure all that you have. I knoe you life seems like you're riding a roller coaster and can't get off, but there is an off switch -- it's just kinda out of reach at the moment. You have come through so...

Charlene, You absolutely did not say anything to offend me, nor did I think you were rude. I agree 100% with you! My brother is a jerk and I said that. I hope you can get some much needed rest tonight. Oh, if it were so easy as to just say it we would be a camp full of happy rls-ers. Love ya gf, Cyn

Mesolo, Since I am the last one to post before your remark of earlier today, I figured I should be the first to respond to your latest post. You said you wish people would quit continuing to post on this subject -- it has been since Feb. 9th when I made my last post to you. I fail to see the continu...

Oh, Charlene, I'm so sorry you are going through this with family. Do NOT ever apologize for venting to us. Heaven knows we all do it too. Where else can you come to find empathy, compassion, understanding and love! I have a brother who has rls and he doesn't understand . . . yet! He's 10 years youn...

Here are my results for the sleep test:

40% insomnia
54% sleep apnea
42% narcolepsy
100% rls

Interesting how well I scored on the rls.
