Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

RLJames, I was wondering if you got all of questions answered about methadone? I have been on methadone for 4 years now and I would be happy to help. I have done lots of research on methadone and asked lots of questions. If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know. You can also ...

BeanieLee I fell so bad for you. I hope you can find something, anything to help you sleep. There is a natural med. that we use to help my son sleep. I have also tried it before I started the Lyrica. I am not sure if you can mix it with your meds, but maybe you can ask your doc. You may have heard o...

BeanieaLee, first of all I definately know whats it like to go sleep deprived. I can't seem to sleep more than an hour or two at a time. I think its mostly because I wake myself up when I jerk. I have considered Requip. I see my doc in two weeks so I am going to ask her about it. I know exactly what...

BeanieLee, thanks so much. I have noticed my pain getting worse since I have been trying to get off of Methadone. I just went down to 15mgs 5 days ago and the past three days have been the worse, which is exactly what I was afraid of. I am worried that I will have to be on a narcotic for the rest of...

Em, I was wodering if you are still taking methadone. I was just reading a few of the posts. I have been taking Methadone for four years now and I have read just about everything there is to know about it. I also had alot of side effects, but eventually they got better. I have a high tolerance to me...

I remember her laying on the couch a constantly rubbing her feet together and wondering why she did that. At night, I do the same thing and it ac...

Ann, thanks so much for your support. For a long time I really thought I was crazy. For me, taking opiods was probaly one of the worst decisions I have made. I am lucky to have the support of my wonderful husband. Its been tough for him, but he never has complains. I am so thankful to have found you...

Thanks dee, for your fast reply. I took your advice and read some of the other posts. beanie lee did mention she was/is taking lyrica. hopefully we will get a chance to talk. Thanks again!

I also grind my teeth and have for years. I now have TMJ because of it and I have to sleep with a mouth piece. I have had rls symptoms for years, but didnt know it. I never thought that the tooth grinding could be related to PLMS or rls, but its amazing to see how many people that do have the same s...

It is really hard to find a good dr. I had a car accident 7 years ago. I started having alot of lower back and leg pain. I have had rls symptoms since i was 13, but didnt know thats what was causing the jerks and uncomfortable feelings in my legs. The pain never started until after the accident. I s...

I am 26 now and I have been suffering with severe pain for 6 years now. The pain got worse after a car accident. I ...
