Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

OK now that makes sense. My random thought process at night is more of "me time", the time of the day when I get to think and dream about anything. It was about being a character in a movie or a Princess or something real girlie, so lying awake was a great time. However, I have been doing ...

that was very cool!

50% Insomnia
31% Sleep Apnea
17% Narcolepsy
0% Gas reflux
and
75% Nocturnal Myoclonus

Nocturnal Myoclonus sounds a lot sexier then Restless Leg Syndrome.

Now I feel sleepy

How long does it take you to "quiet your mind"? I can't seem to shut down and let the day just slip away. Or any day for that matter. My mind is always racing: solving problems (mine AND the worlds) coming up with design ideas and wondering if green is the new black .(Then there's that George Cloone...

I pray that your rls doesn't get worse with mental pause. Mine went thru the roof, and I do mean, thru the roof.

No no no!, don't tell me that RLS gets worse during Menopause! I am pre-mpause. Blah

I have been a bit stressed lately, and my RLS is working both legs. So here I am in the a.m., writing.

night 3: 2 tabs/still awake after 2 hours. got up walked around. back to bed. 45min later got up walked around, had a bit to eat. read newspaper. Got a headache from reading without my glasses. Think I fell asleep after 3am. The cat woke up my husband and he woke me up accidently. By accident I mean...

Hey all, the best we can do is keep the communication open and support each other. There are many people here on-line but nothing beats the sound of another human voice. I am sorry for your pain Moonlight. I don't know the other factors that are causing you such grief however, I believe that the RLS...

I hope restful legs work, even so I plan on checking in with my primary care doctor and get her opinion too. what do you take Ctravel?

so for years I have been thinking "Hmmm, I should do a sleep study" Once I do I will post the results. Just don't expect anything soon, I tend to procrastinate. If I do not fall asleep within say 20-40 min my legs start jumping. I seem to be alright when I wake up, though I hate getting up in the mo...

Soooo, I have just started trying that "Restful Legs" by Hyland's. Night One: 2 tabs/Legs not so bad Night Two: 2 tabs/Legs not so bad and hubby said I did not kick him during the night so he also slept. so tonight is #3. I need to keep a journal while I take this medicine. I had no luck with taking...

...and by "guys" I mean the people who so quickly replied to my post! OK, so now when I have trouble sleeping at least I can catch up on all those past posts. That's how I found this website in the first place! It only took me a year to sign on. It is comforting to know that I am not alone in this m...

My earliest memory of RLS happened when I was around 9yrs old. I knew I was getting sleepy because my leg started "jumping". Some 30 years later my legs are still jumping. As soon as I start to get tired or comfortable, I can feel a strangeness in my leg or legs. My leg (generally my right one) just...
