Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

If my calls were not returned, I think I'd drive to the office. I'd be patient and just say I've not been able to get through on the phone. Or I'd call and make an appointment where I got time to see the Dr face to face. I recently did this with my family doctor and was very happy that I did. I hope...

I private messaged you, but I will add he is found in the asthma and allergy building, not with the other neuro doctors. it took me an hour to find him my first appointment. also parking is very very hard to find, there is a parking garage that might have some spaces, if you find one across from the...

Dogeyed - I can relate so much to your last post. I'd like someone to clean my house =-). I'll try your move forward approach it sounds like a winner.

once 3 hours before bedtime. He gave me permission to take a sleeping pill in addition to it at actual bedtime. I've now had 5 hour nights!!! 2 nights in a row. This coming week is spring break I'm hoping that my kids will sleep in and not wake me up so early maybe I can get an 8 hour night in there...

I'm so sorry to hear this Susan. I hope they get her meds taken care of asap and that she be able to get stable quickly.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers as well as your daughter.

that title pisses me off I don't believe it either, I think RLS can make you gain weight because of what I mentioned above, and I think it's ignorant to title an article like that. Here is one example but it's related to RLS meds. I was 174lbs after having my 4th baby. A few weeks after she was born...

Thank you for your replies and your tips. As far as getting someone to go with me =( nodda... I couldn't even get my MIL to babysit my 2 year old for me. My husband didn't want to take work off due to the economy. So I went by myself. I started the appointment off in an upbeat way, thanking Dr. Earl...

If your RLS keeps you from sleeping then your body doesn't make enough of this hormone making you feel hungrier, making you want to eat more and gaining more weight. In turn having more weight on your body puts more p...

Ive heard that anyone who's ferratin levels are below 50 should take Ferrus sulfate. Ferrus sulfate is the form your body stores iron.

I do Susan, it sucks so bad. I don't know what to do next. Hope my Doctor does.

that's exactly how it was for me. I cared less about my legs, so it helped in that regard, but there was ZERO sleeping while taking it.

I can't stop crying when ever I go to the doctor. I'm going to see Dr. Earley on April 7th, and I need some tips on how not to ball my eyes out. I can barley talk because of the crying. I bring everything in writing when I go, but I don't think he likes it read any of it. But with the cognitive prob...

Spiticus - I've never heard of that, but my heart of hearts says go to your doctor, don't wait go asap.
