Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Steve, I'm so glad you and your wife are there for each other.

Or they think they can take drugs and get away with it, they play by different rules.

Thanks, I'll look for a generic Flonase. Last night probably didn't have anything to do with Alanase, just a "normal" bad night but I'm always optimistic of having a better night tonight.

I've been using Flixonase (Flonase) for years with no problems but recently the design of the bottle was changed and it is awkward to use. I changed to Alanase whose active ingredient is beclomethasone dipropionate. On the third night I just couldn't settle in a way different to my usual legs proble...

This is the boy/man in whose home we now remove our shoes at the door.

That's so funny, but what a clever solution!

It seems as if Murphy is well and truly in charge of your life. I hope things get better soon.

Even though New Zealand was originally settled by English and Scots (and of course, earlier, Maori) the Irish influence is huge. Today 12% of Kiwis have Irish blood. Sisters of Mercy came from Ireland from about 1850 to 1900 to teach and every second Catholic church in New Zealand seems to be called...

I had had simple gold framed glasses for years and while they are fine for younger people I thought I'd get something more daring when I got my last prescription. Not too daring as glasses go but an olive gray frame with a definite "eyeglass" shape. I thought I looked modern when my sister...

When my husband was sick the pharmacist would actually whisper my address when I picked up his oxycodone and other strong medicines so nobody would overhear where I lived, not that anyone knew what I was picking up anyway. The day he died the palliative care nurse took most of the leftover prescript...

Rustsmith, your love for your wife shines through in your posts.

That's absolutely fabulous, almost a miracle, best wishes. Your drugs must have really been fighting each other.

Kiwis call dinner (evening meal) tea. When I first moved here a notoriously cheap couple invited me to tea. (Their reputation preceded them.) I wondered if they meant a meal or just a hot drink and cookie (biscuit) or piece of cake. I was wrong on both choices, they offered a hot drink, not even a c...

I totally agree about information presented only in videos when it would be so much faster to read. I think just making videos is a lazy way to present information, it's more work to think and write it out clearly.

Nothing to do with RLS but one Irish family thinks oats are the key to their longevity. The thirteen siblings have an average age of 82.6 and eat oatmeal porridge twice a day. Note to Americans: supper for the British and Irish means a small snack a few hours after dinner. This family didn't have to...

The main reason I wsnted to get off lortab is that is causes constipation. Tramadol ER also causes constipation and keeping it under control is a battle for me. I drink about two liters of fluid (with one liter of water) most days, eat two kiwifruit (one before breakfast), add a teaspoon of psylliu...
