Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Well last night I was able to sleep from 10 pm to 3 am. Could never get back to bed because of WED/PLMD. Tonight not so lucky. Asleep by 10:30 and awake by 2:30 due to legs. So far I can sit at the edge of the recliner and I'm ok. I'm not a very good pacer now because of the hip. I'll wait a half ho...

A side note, I've seem heroin addicts take as much as 150 mg of Methadone.

I'm just the opposite of all of you. When I was little I slept a lot. I went to morning kindergarten came home for lunch and went down for a nap. Then up for dinner and back down for the night. I must have slept about 12 hours plus the nap. I also know that I've always moved my legs at night. I thin...

You can't get Hdrocodone (vicodin) without Tylenol in it but is is stronger. Oxycodone (Percocet), you can get it with out Tylenol. If you look at the label of vicodin you will see 5/500. The 5 mg is the narcotic and the 500 mg is the Tylenol. I think Oxycodone works better than Tramadol, it's a str...

PB, that's one thing that I don't have is insomnia. So sorry you have to go through it. I'm always falling asleep. The Ativan and Methadone have kicked in so I'm able to sit here with my feet up. I will probably go to be early. I'm already sleepy and it's just after 9 pm. Thanks for all of your supp...

I can't even imagine what you are going through. How many more days ? Then what is supposed to happen ?

I was able to go back to sleep finally. Today has been about the same. I've taken extra methadone and Ativan.

Last night I didn't have too much trouble and was able too sleep. Maybe I still had the extra Mirapex in my system. Then Wednesday during the day I had WED symptoms. I kept doing stuff and it wasn't too bad. Tonight I went to bed about 10 and slept for two hours. Woke up with WED/PLMD so I took two ...

It would be fun to have some sort of reunion. Al the husbands and wives. Central location.

So sorry EeFall that you are having to go through this, and you too, rthom along with your troubles. I've never had it bad enough where I didn't sleep at all. My worse is 2 hours of sleep. Then I become impossible to live with, I cry a lot. Honestly I don't know how you two do it. Other than you don...

My house is so small, that I don't have a place where I can put a puzzle. I would love to have one though. Yours sounds great.

I for sure won't be buying all of the supplements that those people are promoting. Aspartame does make my legs worse for sure. I had a good night as good nights go. I did not take an extra Mirapex, just my regular meds. I will see how the next few nights go. When I had the flare up I had had drinks ...

These are two blood tests that I have done every so often to check for inflammation.

Yes, these are the tests. I just couldn't remember what they were. Mine are always elevated.

I looked at the web sites, interesting. It seems complicated. But the most interesting part is the theory about inflammation. I've always believed that I have a lot of inflammation in my body. There is a lab test that shows inflammation, which I can't think of the name. I do remember that I always s...

I'm at 8,200 feet. To answer your question, I don't know. When I had my first symptom of WED I lived at sea level. Then we moved to another location, at sea level. That was where I started medication. Then we moved to 5,000. I lived there 14 years. In the middle I lived at sea level for six months. ...
