Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Aidan hasn't been sleeping very well recently. If he doesn't get atleast 11 hrs of sleep a night, he is uncontrollable. The adderall hasn't been working very well. Monday night, he woke me up every hour. That was all I could take. I gave him his dose yesterday morning and contacted his doc. I believ...

Hi Mike. Congradulations on your success with the meds and RLS. It takes a very head strong person to be able to go from 6 oxycontins a day ( or any opiate) to 2-3 a day. That is very difficult for anyone much less for someone who has RLS. I know this because I have been there. I don't know if you h...

Hos, it seems we have alot in common. When either of my children sit beside me or in my lap, my RLS will kick in. I am not sure, but for me, I think its because I feel so uncomfortable. I hate to feel crowded and when I do, my legs start squirming and hurting. I love to have my children sit with me,...

Hi John, Hos, and all. I to have problems riding in the car. For me, It bothers me to ride in the passenger side and when I drive. The longer I am in A car, the more I hurt. I can't really sit. lay. or stand anywhere for very long without pain. When I am driving, I try to get out an stretch my legs ...

Hi Paula. Welcome. I am glad you are here. I am very sorry to hear that you are having alot of pain. I have RLS all my life, but I never was actually diagnosed until a short time ago. I know how painful RLS can be. Like many of us who have RLS, I suffer with it everyday. Some better than others. I a...

Hos, that was beautiful. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Hi everyone. I have some good news, atleast good news for me. My sons teachers came to my home today to do a home visit. We went over Aidan's tests and projects he has done so far this year. When Aidan started school, he would not eat anything, he did not like the other kids getting too close to him...

Thank you Ann. Can I find this info on the website?

Lynne, you crack me up! I don't know what I would do without you guys. BTW, Lynne did you get my e-mail? I've been having some problems with sending e-mail so I wanted to be sure you got it.

Love ya lots

I'm a troll feeder too Dee. I can't help it. When I get irritated about something, I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't say something. I have a hard time biting my tongue when someone offends me, especially when its seems like they do it intentionally. Oh well. Maybe I need some anger managme...

Hi Kanie. I also eat at night when I can't sleep. Sometimes, I eat more at night than I do all day. I have gained about 25lbs the past few years. I don't know if the weight gain is only because of all the eating I do at night or if the methadone I take has something to do with it. Until about 3 yrs ...

Hi, Bob. Welcome. I am so glad you found us. I have had RLS all my life, but I didnt know that RLS was what I had until a short time ago. I actually saw an ad on tv and it caught my eye so I started asking my doc about it. My mother also has RLS, but she didn't know it until I asked her about it. I ...

I live in South Carolina. Does anyone know how I can find out whether or not there will be a siminar near me?

Thanks Charlene and Dee. I tried to keep my mouth shut, but people like that just tick me off, ya know what I mean? LOL

Lots of love,

Thank God I have finally meet someone who has first hand experience with AS. I would like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind. Aidan is three now. When your son was younger did he have any anger issues? Was he able to make eye contact with others? Did he hurt himself or others? Did he seem ...
