Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

My boots went through the x-ray with no more problems & since that day I have arrived at every security checkpoint in the world with boots/shoes in hand ... getting some very strange looks on the way .. but i've never been pulled up since. Sometime's I wish everyone in the world would just lay ...

I sometimes describe it as a build-up of lactic acid in your muscles that you can't get rid of. The other way I've described it is as if i've run a marathon and my leg/arm muscles just wont "warm down" and stay taught, tense and "full of energy/tiredness" that I just cant get rid...

Hey Betty I'm wishing i'd read this thread before my own now. I feel so selfish! I'll be keeping you, your DH, and both your sons and their families in my thoughts and prayers. Your son is alive, albeit with bruises, but it's the memories that will haunt him for a long while. There are a lot of Auss...

1. I'm not sure if some or all of my medications are working properly 2. I'm not sure if some or all of my RLS medications are interfering with another medication for another illness (or vice/versa) 3. If I could get by WithOut medications ... I'd be on cloud 9 Remember that everyone of us is differ...

Hi Betty Yes, it's just one thing on top of another and another right now; and i'm startin to literally count down the sleeps to Feb 17th. I'm thinking about going back up to Rocky to stay another couple of days to help mum (and dad) again, but I felt so washed out and drained when we arrived home y...

Hi Corrie

Thanks for the heads up ... I'd completely forgotten about that ... and i've even printed the dang thing out too!

Too much on my mind methinks.

Thankyou my friend xoxo

Gotta luv brain fog ... The other thing is that the Thyroxine may be affecting one or more of my medications (or vice versa). It has also had an increase from 100mcg to 150mcg in sept/oct 08. So it has to be taken into account as well. I really wish we could get "full body refunds".

Hi Aiken Yes ... i know. I've been using it for the past four years with great success. However ... My exacerbation could be one of a few things: 1 the increase in amit-yada that my ex-gatekeeper approved back in sept/oct 08 2 the ginormous amount of stress that has been drapped over us like a sodde...

I confess to not being "up to date" with all your specifics. Seems you time frame for the "uglies" is so specific that you would think something could be found or some med schedule could be worked out to help combat those several hours. I'm sure you have followed all the usual &...

OK ... I am getting beyond the stage of just been smurfed off each afternoon between 3pm & 5pm when my brain decides its time to go from snafu to fubar without warnig. I hate it!!! I desperately want to go up and visit mum and dad. Troy wants to take me fishing. I WANT to do both but my brain ke...

As for sleep ... getting to sleep is no problem. It's whatever's waking me up at 4:30 - 5:00am every morning for the past week that's bugging me. No ... not a loo stop (bugga ... coz i'm havin enuff troubles goin #1 as it is!) Got me befuddled. On top of that i'm having dreams that are so real that ...

That's the way I did the last two ... rang the supermarket and asked them to put a couple of slab cakes aside & i just went in & picked them up (paying for them of course lol). I've given up trying to bake them coz our oven is completely stuffed. I have two fantastic knives now that are for ...

Hey Betty Miss them terribly!!! We spoke to them on the phone for nearly an hour last night. It was pretty obvious from the way Karrissa (12) was talking, that she's had enough and wants to come home. Seanna (5) sounded a lot chirpier than last week ... I hope it's because Karrissa is keeping her po...

could you send a few of those "clones" down this-a-way please???

Yup ... and we get told to shuddup about the humidity coz we live in "the tropics" lol
