Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I receive my methadone by passenger pigeon every other day. It used to be that they would stop over and have a few seeds to keep them to the next appointment but now they dive bomb our chimney in fear of the undercover operatives shooting them down with air to air missiles. I of course send them ext...

Thanks for the thought (good restful sleep thing), but it seems that'll have to be on your end tonight (at least so far). Anyway, in answer to your question, I have to try to change whatever I can, so i ask these seemingly olbviously useless questions to give myself a way to improve myself and thus...

Good thing you mentioned the 1/4 tab, medicine usually hits me pretty strong.

Thanks PB, do feel that sometimes I should know better--been dealing with it so long etc. But the what if thing I ususally think not of (dont believe it's at all helpful) except in things like this where I'm tring to decide if WED is the problem or if it's a combination of that with someting else--...

Have you tried Provigil? I've read conflicting ting, but some people say that people become tolerant very quickly. Since I didn't need it everyday, I've been trying it only when I have to be at the client site. So far, so good. No I haven't, I don't even know what it is...I will have to go investig...

I better keep my fingers quiet on this one...

Go ahead and tell 'em what you think. It is a crock full of dog do that's what I think about it. What someone should do is come up with the fact that severe RLS/WED is a terminal illness and any medicine that relieves it should be allowed.

When I said 4 hours sleep, that is not a normal 4 hours of sleep, probably closer to a half hour, or an hour for the real feel of it. From the Zeo (rest its electronics) and my VPAP machine it shows that I wake up so many times a night and so little deep sleep that it is practically no sleep. That w...

I took it for awhile. My WED was a mess at the time, so I don't know if it made it worse or not. But it did help put weight on me, alone with three other meds. I'm off of it now. DEB I had forgotten about that part of it, I did gain weight. Of course Mirapex has its own problems lol, like buying th...

I took remeron for several years. First because they thought I was depressed but when they realized it was sleep apnea PLM, & RLS they kept me on it because it seemed to help RLS. I eventually asked to get off if it because it gave me a very drugged up feeling. Sometimes I have thought of going ...

I don't know if the doctor meant it this way or not but probably the best thing he has done for me is to say there is nothing else he can do for me until other medications become available. I posted that somewhere on the board a couple of weeks ago. Since then it made me mad but it also made me reth...

I don't know, I think I would stay with the saying, "If it's not broken, don't fix it.". If things are going along well then I think we tend to think that we can start getting off of the drugs, but that has never worked for me. I think it is because we start feeling good and it actually me...

A Dr's visit sounds like a very good plan--here we'd try to see a dermatologist for that kind of stuff. Sucks that you are having it so hard again--is your sleep worse overall than it was say 3 weeks ago? Was wondering if your power drinks at work are building up something in your system and causin...

Wow, I'm still not sure how it could affect someone so badly, I hope I don't find out. It is just a little annoying to me and that is it so far.
