Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Wow, this is an incredible thread. Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge. I have been using edible MMJ for the past 3 nights w/a lot of success; however, when i wake up in the morning, i feel as though my sleep is not as restful. Is this what you are referring to as the hangover effect? I do...

I see. Thank you for the response.

I believe my RLS is triggered by stress as well. It typically goes away 100% when I am on vacation. Anything specific you are doing to manage the stress? Any specific triggers you have found?

This doesn't make sense to me! I went to Las Vegas last week with my girlfriend for 5 days. The moment I got off the plane I was able to sleep like a baby. I slept each night in Vegas for 8-10 hours and the first 3 nights back I didn't have RLS/WED. I was eating all kinds of foods, drinking alcohol ...

Hello, Figure I will introduce myself. I’m oozz, 31 y/o male. I can say I’ve officially had RLS for a little over a year straight. Not sure when it started, but I have always had poor sleeping habits. I typically get it around 3:30-4:30 am every night. It’s mainly in one of my legs, but it’s not unc...

I got some blood work done about 6 months ago, at which time the doctor included some sort of iron tests. I asked my doctor if one of them was a serum ferretin test and he answered yes, but seemed a bit unsure; he just stated, “I ordered 3 iron tests”. Is there anyway to determine if a serum ferriti...

Thanks for sharing. I took the questionnaire and it confirmed what I already knew.

Question - when you wake up w/RLS is your mind running? Or. are you in a very sleep-like state?

Personally, I've noticed that I'll often wake up due to RLS and my mind is running at a million miles an hour.

Thanks.

What is considered severe, mild, and acute RLS/WED?

I get RLS 6/7 night and would like to gauge my experiences with others to determine what may and may not work for me. Sometimes I will get it on a plane, but this has not happened recently.

Thanks,

Thanks for the responses everyone. @Rustsmith - The locations have been so varied in terms of altitude, weather, and season, I have to say its an internal factor. The one instance we changed time zones dramatically (EST > Alaska) didn't really have an effect on me. @polarbear - similar to above. @ba...

Hello, New to the forums here. I’ve had primary RLS for about 2-3 years now. I’ve noticed that when I go on vacation my RLS clears up entirely! From the night I land to a few days after I get home. I’m not really sure how to interpret this. This isn’t just a one time thing, it’s been this way for ev...
