Re: Vicks Vapo-Rub on Soles of Feet
That's interesting, i also use vicks for the rls but differently, when it's making me nuts i put it under my nose to side-track the brain. Don't find it a fix all but every little bit helps (funny thing is i put it on just before i read this!! ). Anyway thanks for the idea i will likely try it, and ...

Re: pirde and wed
Hey, That's just sad that the real you is no longer there. I can relate though--thus my little rant. The Mirtazapine is supposed to get me some sleep--i did ask her what type of classification and either she danced around the question or really didn't know, my bets are on the dancing (i would have t...

Re: Augmentation
tramadol is mot supposed to have "addictive " qualities either, so it's something my dr and i are thinking of trying next. I am also taking hydromorph.

Re: pirde and wed
I work with dogs and as a rule we don't allow dogs (especially puppies) to live with the same types of stresses and so on. In my case i'd be euthanize d for compassion and in the case of my family especially the kids the'd be removed so they can have a quality life, survival is just not enough. So w...

Re: upper body symptoms with RLS/WED
Thanks and yes i agree on the augmentation things as well, (should have actually started this question as a different topic) I was referring to the meds like sleep and opiods--as is often given together. If someone is routinely medicated to sleep it may seem like it just appears to be worse out of t...

RLS/WED and food intake?
My body is just plain wore to the bone from all the added exercise--walking or whatever else i do to get rest. I also find that my energy requirements are alot higher than those around me, so in order to not have worsening muscle problems etc. I must allow for a higher food intake--substantially. Is...

Calf muscles cramping etc.= WED?
I often wondered (actually in my case assumed) if the recurrent muscle spasms and achy calves is part of the rls exacerbated by the plms, but as a secondary symptom. For instance, in my case i am on my feet all day and most of the night. This is a direct result of the feelings in my body. As a neces...

Re: upper body symptoms with RLS/WED
what's the thought on the medications masking the worsening of symptoms. I've just always assumed that the sudden worsening wasn't sudden at all, but just that the symptoms have been masked by the meds. Thoughts??

Re: Ferritin Level

Re: Teeth Gritting
I have worn my back teeth right down and now they are starting to break. Do you think or have you heard if there is any co-relation between the WED and the grinding?

Re: new diagnosis child
Contacting Dr.B is a great idea, if you want ideas to ask him about, maybe consider talking to those who remember their childhood experiences with it, and if there are co-correlation between them and your daughter, it could be a jumping off point? You sound like a great mom, i'm sure no matter what ...
