Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Was only wondering, Polar Bear, is your hair still pink? I love that look. If rls prevents me from resuming my long-interupted career in October I think I will go pink in protest.

Yawny, I love your posts. I laughed out loud about your response regarding stress. Have been thinking about your anxiety since you last posted. You've almost certainly considered this already, but my understanding is that pure CBD oil is particularly effective for anxiety. I tried it for rls - it is...

For what it's worth, according to Carl (no comments, please, Yawny!) at Relaxis, it is not necessarily very important where the pad is placed. It is the counter-stimulation that is the important issue. I would endorse Ann's experience with the personal vibrator - in my experience the shape is not un...

Hi dcb and welcome.
Your vibrating bed sounds a little like the Relaxis pad which is created specifically for rls and which I currently have on trial. The pad is also eye-wateringly expensive!

Wouldn't it be wonderful if it worked?

Hi ViewsAskew, It is so strange, I had exactly the same thought. I had some iron bisglycinate left over from last year and thought I'd give it a go in the interests of open-mindedness and balance (and also, if I'm completely honest, still hoping that there is a magic bullet out there - and it has ce...

Good luck, QyX. I hope it works.

Oh Gosh, Yawny, those sound like difficult symptoms to get to grips with - your anxiety (which I usually think of as a psychological condition) even sounds very physical in its presentation. And you have tried so many options - I mean, they sound like symptoms that might be expected to respond to mm...

Relaxis is definitely helpful and I don't think I will be returning it at the end of my 30 day trial period. It is not a miracle worker and does not deliver a killer blow to full on powerful symptoms but it does really help and it is wonderful to have something to reach for when those ghastly very e...

30 Minutes sleep is ... not enough. I really hope you have luck getting a good doctor and effective treatment. As a preliminary you could consider getting your serum ferritin levels checked. I found bringing up my iron levels helped my symptoms enormously. If you have access to it, you could also tr...

Ferrous bisclycinate does not suffice to quiet my symptoms whether I take it at night time, on an empty stomach, with OJ or whatever. Happy the sufferer for whom such a simple solution is effective.

Yawny! I know you mean no harm but I feel I must point out that while I suspect that "Walking Dead" would describe quite a few of us on here as we pace the boards at night and we are certainly the target purchasers of Relaxis, I think I can speak for poor Carl when I say that he has never ...

Thank you for posting so consistently about this. I am so pleased that the oils have had such a positive benefit. It is really interesting to read of as it unfolds. It does seem to be a fantastic outcome and long may it continue. In your shoes, I would be very tempted to continue reducing the methad...

I too am resident in the Emerald Isle and fascinated to read your account. Cold potatoes are not unknown here by any means - we refer to them as potato salad and I just wonder would the addition of mayonaise and spring onions have any detrimental effect on the process? I discovered a lovely cache of...

My current Dr disputed Ferritin was important so that wasn't great

Wow; that's a new low - not to know is one thing, but actually to dispute it ...
