Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi JBcole, Well this afternoon at work around 2.30 when the twitches usually start I used the oil and I spent the afternoon 'sort of OK', I did'nt have to stand at my desk cos of symptoms as I usually do, altho I felt several times as tho I was on the verge. Driving home from work always helps settl...

Thanks jbcole, for your encouragement. I can't say that I felt any benefits from the oil today, however I have every intention of giving it a fair trial. Please tell me from your own experience, at what point did you stop the requip, if the oil took a week to give good effect. Also did you use the o...

Well... legs started to twitch at around 2.30 pm and I used 3 drops of the oil as instructed. Legs are still twitching and jumping after 50 minutes since application. We will see how things go..

I will certainly let everyone know. I am so keen to cut down on requip.

Hi folks, oil arrived here in N Ireland this morning. I will probably try it this afternoon when rls usually kicks in as I work at my desk.
I'm a bit nervous of doing without the requip this evening and relying only on this oil ???
Will let you know how things go.
Fingers crossed, Betty

Hi, I've been on symvastatin for about 6 months, and on requip for about 5 months. Haven't noticed anything from the statins, in particular.
Betty

Yes, I had the vivid dreams, tho they appear to have settled. Still sometimes.
Betty

Thanks Debs. How long does the oil take to work, i.e. for example requip takes 60 - 90 minutes??

Hi Debs, just a thought - and a little bit of guidance needed. My rls kicks in at about 2 pm when I am in work and at my desk. If I am at home it kicks in when I sit down to watch a movie etc. So can I use this oil whenever I want, and as often as I want, i.e. starting at lunchtime and thru to the e...

Debs, I agree, I am sick of medication.
And all my recent Bloods etc. all read within the normal ranges. !!
It would be great to be rid of it all.
I'll let you know.
Betty

Thank you Charlene, yes will do as you say.

My general practitioner did bloods, while I await to see a neurologist. The readings are: thyroid - serum 12.6 and TSH 0.93 B12s - 364 (normal is it seems is anywhere between 175 - 750) Doc says these are all normal. I know nothing about levels and haven't yet researched what is 'normal levels'. Doe...

Like you Aff, I am now waiting the oil with anticipation.
Debs said she went straight to the oil from requip, without weaning herself off requip. Sounds extreme... Not quite sure which way to approach it. A bit reluctant about stopping the requip cold turkey!!!

Betty

Hi Debs and JBCole You are both having such good results with this oil, and I am awaiting its delivery, so I just wanted to ask, when did you stop the requip. i.e. did you stop requip immediately you started to use the oil, did you wean yourself off the requip first, or did you use the requip and th...

Hi debs, I have just ordered restless legs oil from the web site so fingers crossed and here's hoping. Just to let folk know that shipping to the UK is another $15, but hey if it works, then it is well spent. It is not expensive anyway. So here's to seeing how long it takes to get here, and looking ...
