Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hello everybody! The survey is truly back in its orginal form and website, so it works!!! As of Labor Day! Please give it a try and let me know! The address is: www.thomasholly.net/websurvey.html CAVEAT! There are various safe guards built into the web page to prevent abuse and thus make the data s...

The reason I made a short version of the original work is to whet the appetite of the doctors so they would take the trouble to look up the original. I was told several times by varios physicians that "you should see my desk, there are many pages I should be reading and I am not " (due to lack of ti...

Hopefully it is also understandable for patients. An Algorithm for the Management of RLS Condensed version of article by M.H. Silber et al. Mayo Clin. Proc. 79(7):916-922, 2004 INTRODUCTION: Characteristic symptoms: Limb discomfort and urge to move legs, which occur at rest. Symptoms are relieved by...

aka Walking after Midnight! Keep in mind that the painkillers you had been taken also help RLS. Every time you change your medication (add or substract) will affect you. In this case it was not clonazepam but rather getting off the painkillers which gave you a more severe RLS . I took one pill of a ...

I am puzzled by your medication. First of all, it may be doxepin hydrochloride. Is it? Then the dose is very low, 1 mg? The syrup contains 10 mg/ml I believe. So 2 drops (100 microliters) may contain 1 mg. The mechanism of action of SINEQUAN (doxepin HCl) is not definitely known. It is not a central...

Working on it!

I am saddened to realize that you have refractory RLS. Pallidotomy! yet. Do they discuss the loss of other functions due to that procedure??? I wonder what the scientific justification was for that drastic solution? I am still plodding through my newest research project "RLS and mental health". This...

will do it every time. You wrote: Well ... i dunno what's causing my legs to go ape-**** on me right now. Have a list of possible causes (the crappy weather, my newly-ex-hubby, moving back home with my parents, sorting out a property settlement with ex-hubby and trying not to bite each others head o...

I will check with Tom today and let you know. I know about the safeguards about skipping questions. Sometimes (rarely) one has to make up an answer and clarify it at the end (Remarks).

I hope everyhing is alright with you and your loved ones,

As ever,

Good news everybody! My son, Tom (even though he is very busy creating a new computer system for the county), heard my cries for help and re-established the SURVEY website.

I am so sorry that I cannot post more often. Both mentally and physically I am kept busy by the "establishment" (local I hope) which is hell-bent in trying to prove that I am mentally ill. The head honcho is a fork-tonged character it took me awhile to figure out. It is the medications I have to be ...

Thank you ladies, you make me feel very humble. You are very dear to me. Made further steps in my quiet battle on the field of mental health. I supplied blood for analysis of valproic acid again and also gycolisation of hemoglobin (trying to convince them I am not diabetic). This is not a battle of ...
