Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hee, hee, Jumpowl, your uncle sounds like my kind of guy. I love older people, and it's a sad thing that I've lost almost all my "grands" and "greats" in the family. I always got on famously with them. Of course, we "adopted" an 86 year old widow lately, so I'm not completely out of elderly input. C...

Hey, Jan, glad you DIDN"T take offense. I think maybe you still got what I meant overall. I think I'm having such overall symptoms every day all day -- and more trouble EVERY night right now -- that there's maybe not a "free" time for me to GET that inkling that it's coming BACK. The darned stuff ne...

Jan, I think that the "level" of symptoms I'm at right now is more "consistent"; I'm not having "episodes" of RLS as much as I used to. I don't RECALL "knowing ahead" say two years ago, when I had lot of nights I couldn't finish a movie on the couch with my husband, that that would be a night I'd fe...

Hello, all-- I should have warned you. Once I get started talking about anything, I'm hard to stop! Here's my next query for y'all! I find that when my symptoms are at their worst, it's my FEET that really take the brunt of the sensations. I remember that from my earliest RLS memory (in the car with...

Hello, again, Jumpyowl, et al-- So here's the "skinny" on my conversation with my parents. Evidently, my mom DID remember my mentioning RLS before, but Dad didn't. I waylaid him first, and asked what IS it that your feet feel like when they bother you??? He said that he doesn't recall feeling anythi...

Jumpyowl-- This morning's conversation was interesting. Looks like there's probably RLS on one side, but not the side I thought!!!! It's a long story I'll post later when I have more time, and I've already forwarded your questionnaire to their e-mail! : ) I'm also throwing out feelers to other peopl...

Hello, Jumpyowl-- It was indeed me who sent you a questionnaire yesterday (sorry about the technical issues), and thanks for thinking to add the elevation considerations to that. I was going to e-mail you to ask if you would! Thanks also for elaborating on the scientific specifics of elevation/altit...

It WAS you, Becat. How ironic! I went back and perused all the bios I'd looked at earlier, and sure enough, yours was the "altitude" comment I noticed. I remembered that you medicated for plane flights, but how interesting that you've perhaps noticed an elevation connection, too. SEEMS to be a possi...

Hello, all. Since I'm very new around here, please point me in the right direction and forgive me if this is something already discussed somewhere. I don't recall seeing it in my initial perusal of the site/forum. When I was reading through the (great and informative!) bios over in the Newbie sectio...

Hello, ladies-- Our friends who introduced us to Miracle II found the same as you two did. eBay seems to be the cheapest resource for the product overall. I have a different "version" of the Miracle product here locally than the one I used visiting our friends (but I can't recall which is which off-...

Becat and Jan, thanks so much. I'm active on another medical support group, and I didn't intend to make you "reinvent the wheel" for me. It took me a minute to figure out what you both meant about the location of your bio information, but now that I've found it, how wonderful!!!! This is JUST the so...

How interesting that this is showing some results for you with RLS (etc.). I was introduced to it over the Fourth of July weekend at a friends house, where we used it for mosquito bites (takes away the itch), a deep abrasion (took away the pain), and even a dog bite (stopped the throbbing). The prod...

Hello, I'm new here, and have been reading the information available on-line re: RLS. The thing I'm not seeing much of is personal experiences. I know three other people with RLS, but two of them are my age (almost 40), so we've had limited (though long-term) experience with this condition. I know I...
