Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

`The reason for my question is because recently i've had problems with my vision fluctuating between fairly normal and blurry. It could be a number of things and i'm trying to rule out meds before i go to see the optomotrist, (don't want to have to go twice, or look like an idiot when they enquire a...

Wow thanks for sharing that.
Both my wife and i have found the same thing about generic vs other brands--sometimes they just don't work the same at all. We get the it's identical--your just mistaken scpeel.. It's nice to hear others are having similar experiences.

I was wondering what vision problems had to do with augmentation. Also i know what the symptoms of augmentation are (read it off here--thanks folks) but i don't understand the meaning of the word. ( Like i know how to make a car run but i don't really get it cause i've never seen one and don't know ...

thanks that's good to know

When I tried it the WED symptoms kept on going even when the tens machine was in use. Actually I might have been using the tens machine and the WED symptoms would start. This is what i expected would happen--just wondered if the pain associated with it would lessen--tight crampy muscles. etc. Do you...

Thanks Corrie, that's certainly something to watch for. I should have said a few hours at the end of the day, anyway because they were a lot milder I was trying to be careful not to get all fired up--"wehew, I'm going to be cured"--just in case it didn't hold or quit improving. I wondered ...

You felt you had benefit with the increase in Requip dosage. I wonder when your symptoms kicked in, would that have been when your dose of Requip would have been wearing off. I wasn't sure if it was the requip or not, i just noticed a few times in the evening that my legs seemed quieter. I also wond...

GMT?
Thanks all for the help--trying to figure out when 8 oclock is as per the chat thing.

I had a day yesterday that might have been the first in my life that i remember with minimal symptoms. It was hard to figure because the only difference seemed to be an increase in the re-quip (2mg) Anyway i go to bed and awaken an hour and a half later with horrible symptoms. Can this be from bette...

Thanks for the reply. Mine said 3:49am when I posted it but it's only 11:30pm here now.

Cany anyone tell me how to tell what time it is cst now? I'm trying to follow alon and am not sure who was on when --my time. Also if i get a reply that says 3am is that my time or the time of the person posting?
Thanks

thanks--- IIRC? a person or a short form?

I'm looking for information from those having tried the tens machine--
Did it help the PLM and make the RLS a lot worse, etc.
I was told that sleepdancer may have some information as well.

Me too and thanks, they make it sound like it's olbvious! I think i'd be better off if they had written it in dutch.

Hey good to hear from U. When I was first on Mirapex it was not used for rls just parkensons so drug plans wouldnot cove it and as in your case couldn't afford the $700+ a month it was going to cost. So my gp gave me trial sizes and had me apply for a section 8 (i think) that would request the pharm...
