Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Yes, our "School Year" starts at the end of January; February being our last month of Summer, and usually the hottest month as well. We have four Terms which make up two Semesters. Semester 1 made up of, Terms 1 and 2 are each roughly 10 - 11 weeks long and are split by a one week holiday ...

Hi Gina

Welcome to the Boards, sorry that you're here because of RLS.

However, I'm glad that you and your mom have found something that works.

I wish I was at your end of the RLS "bell curve".

Take care!

On a different note ... The girls are home!!!! Oh it was SO good to see them on Saturday! Got an enormous hug from Karrissa ... and she's been hugging me at every opportunity ever since, saying she missed us like crazy. Troy had to practically prise Seanna off of me she had such a tight grip on me. ...

Night 7/Day 7 (Sunday/Monday) - Tried to be sociable at the Christmas Party we went to last night, but the efforts of moving furniture hit me faster than I'd hoped. - Spent most of the evening in a comfortable chair, well away from the main party, watching the tennis (Woohoo for Jelana Dokic!) - To...

Night 6/Day 6 (Saturday/Sunday) - Ended up going to bed early on Saturday night as I was heavily under the "influence" of having to take a 2mg tablet of Clonazepam when I was out doing the groceries; then when I went to bed Friday night, didn't even think to take the 2mg tablet OUT of my ...

Night 5/Day 5 (Friday/Saturday) - As I mentioned in my most previous post here, my breakthrough symptoms were going hell for leather throughout the entire afternoon on Friday. - I don't often ask Troy to come with me to do the groceries, but I'm glad I did on Friday night as I had to grab a bottle ...

I'm flat out keepin up with the research as it is.

Thanks for pointing this one out Zach. When I manage to get my printer to play nice, i'll print this one out.

I will be lobbying hard to get off the codeine and onto tramadol when I see my specialist in a few weeks time.

Take care

Right ... i've concluded that my libido is off on an extended holiday in the Bahama's (wish it coulda given me some notice). The girls have been away for three weeks and what have Troy and I done as a couple? Nothing, zip, zero, nada, zilch ... Oh ... we went fishin last Friday night and even the fi...

Night 4/Day4 (Thursday/Friday) - Was dead as a doornail before 10pm (Thursday night) ... however ... awake ... since 4am NYARGH!!!!!!!!! - DID have a couple of brief dozing sessions which were actually quite useless as all I had were reality dreams ... again - Breakthrough symptoms goin hell for le...

Night 3/Day3 (Wednesday/Thursday) - Had trouble getting to sleep ... was still awake well after 3am - Reality dreams are gettin pretty tiring - RLS breakthrough symptoms were mild so I could justify taking anything after the pounding I gave my body the previous day - Rain dried up ... but the weath...

Night 2/Day2 (Tuesday/Wednesday)

- Had trouble getting to sleep
- Major reality dreams all night
- RLS breakthrough symptoms at around 11am: took 1mg Clonazepam & 3 x Ibuprofen/Codeine 500/12.8 Tablets and repeated the process at 5pm
- It was pouring rain all day

..... If the amit-whatsit works for you, then by all means, take it. Especially if you're sure that it doesn't aggravate your RLS. I've heard of others who take it as well, and don't have a problem with it. I take Lexapro or Effexor (jury's still out on which I prefer) and I know that they don't bo...

Night 1/Day1 (Monday/Tuesday) - Had trouble getting to sleep (as I did on Saturday night when I lost a whole tablet by accident) - Counsellor didn't boot my bum but is concerned about me considering the colossal (sp?) amount of stress in our lives at the moment - RLS breakthrough symptoms at around...

If I offend anyone with my previous post ... get over it.

Right now, the way I feel, I'm thinkin Dr Jeckyll has been removed from the scene and Ms Hyde is In Da House.

Oh Crap!

Righto Since every Tom, Dick and Harriette are on my back "reminding" me that most RLS'ers and Amit-yada dont mix well ... ... I've decided to do an experiment. As of tonight (Monday 19th January 2009), i'm going to reduce my dosage of Amit-yada from 150mg to 125mg and stick to it for a we...
