Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Well my friends, I believe I'm in for a real bad night. The muscles in my butt are throbbing and the backs of both thighs. Feels as if a 50 lb weight is sitting on both sides. My ankles feel like they're breaking. Wish me luck tonight. I really don't mean to complain so much, and I DO realize I have...

Thanks Sara,

I was thinking that any information we all can share about everything the may be going on with us, might lead to another "pattern"?

Just a thought

CVS was having a sale on vitamins this past week, so I went a bought some Complex Vitamin B. Says it's good for energy levels. I have to tell you that I can actually make it past 2 p.m. sitting at my desk with out the urge to fall asleep. Something to think about. I could share more on different her...

I know this is an old post, but it brought tears to my eyes and being at work, I'm really trying not to cry. I save the crying for when I'm alone, b/c no one understands. I have to accept that fact I guess. Anyway, Randy, my symptons run from my lower back down both legs to the bottoms of my feet. O...

Thank you all for letting me vent and I have to apologize for some of my language, but I am a tad angry.

Sugs, Hi there! Nice to meet you! I couldn't believe he made me get a note either especially when he's out more than anyone claiming he's ill. Anyway, this excercise thing.

My Quality of Life Statement March 23, 2005 Newly diagnosed and yet to meet with a Neurosurgeon, I'm scared to death. I feel as if a major part of my life has been nothing but a lie. The reason I feel this way is simple. No one around me understands the issues related to RLS, so they've basically ca...

BJ, I don't know about the spider veins, but I do know about the pain. Starts off like a toothache and then by late afternoon my legs feels like granite and if anything touches them, i feel like i'll shoot right off the planet. My RLS seems to be bicoastal. Both legs, from hips to the bottom of my f...

oh good. i wasn't imagining this. Unfortunately, I am VERY single and it is up to me to make sure this happens to myself. ????? Anyhoo, my hands can't handle it either a lot of the time. I sure am glad I found this site and you all. Seems like a lot of the pressure goes away but just being able to t...

Yes, it does. I swear by it. I've been fighting something for a few weeks now and I was blaming my allergies until my head cavity filled up with more than just my brain lol

What's wrong? Is it a cold you're having trouble with? Try Alka Selzer Cold medicine. Knocks it right outta.
Very sorry to hear about your father.

Thank you Ann, I will do that!

Is RLS considered a disability recognized by the medical field? I met a friend on WE Move and she has ET, and she is considered "temporarily disabled" . I'm just curios.
Oh and BTW-thank you all for sharing!
