Re: new diet

Yes, it's doing much much better. I'm eating mostly organic raw vegetables, some cooked vegetables, fished cooked with organic raw lemon, seeds, nuts and some organic fruit. I know it sounds boring, but the main thing is that I'm sleeping much better. Last 2 nights 7 hours with some waking, but goin...

new diet

For the past few weeks, I've been trying out a new raw diet from Aajonus Vanderplantiz and it seems to have helped the WED a little. I also do not eat any grain. I went from 3 hours a night, waking up 2 times a night to 4.5 hours a night and only waking up once within a week. Granted it's not ideal,...

Re: Sugar Free, Grain Free and Dairy Free food did the trick

I personally cannot do ANY grain whether it's gluten free or not as it actives the WED super bad. I can do legumes, meat etc. And yes, there is tons of veggies and fruits etc.

Re: my meds never work

Ann,
That is what is so frustrating with this damn thing--there seems to be no set pattern for people who have it. What helps keep WED at bay for some people--like meds--make it worse for others like me.

Re: my meds never work

It seems like meds help some WED people and maybe make it worse for others. I'm curious to know if this could be the difference between primary and secondary WED?

Re: Sugar Free, Grain Free and Dairy Free food did the trick

I have a am currently doing the no grain, sugar, caffiene and alcohal and it has helped immensely. Have not done the dairy yet, but this might be worth a try.

Re: Coffee therapy works, but...

This really is amazing. If I drink coffee at any time of the day, I will be up ALL night--0 hours of sleep--GUARANTEED!!! It really makes me wonder if there are underlying conditions for at least some people suffering from it.

Re: zen meditation

kundalini yoga works more with breath work. But it's a relaxing yoga. I prefer yoga that focuses more on stretching or strength. But as you stated, whatever works for the individual.

Re: zen meditation

I will say that I was also leery of the bach flower remedies, but thought what the hell and gave it a try. It actually helped for a week or so which was surprising to me that it helped at all. I do agree that stress and anxiety do not solve RLS, but I do think it can exacerbate it. The problem for m...

Re: RLS and hormones

Well I'm right around that age (49) where hormones can affect stuff and I thought it was interesting that I got a solid 9 hours of sleep after taking the DHEA.

Re: zen meditation

Yes, natural path is expensive and he has given me things to do on my own. I was seeing him for other issues such as my back problems and he gave me a lot to do on my own that has worked REALLY well. This, however, is a little more complicated so I'm playing it by ear.

RLS and hormones

I'm wondering if hormones are playing a part with my WED/RLS. Last week, after averaging 3 hours a night of sleep, I took some DHEA and slept like a baby. After 2 nights, it stopped working. I then stopped some of the standard process supplements as I was told that could increase the estrogen level ...
