Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I'm actually wondering whether I should cobble together some sort of leg twitching tracker out of sensors, an amplifier, and an A/D card. I'd really like to know what's going on while I'm not conscious so I can evaluate what works and what doesn't. Have you heard of anybody doing this, or is there s...

Since my major problem is PLMD, I don't have too much visibility into what's working or not. I was going by whether I felt rested, thinking that this would mean I was having less arousals. After a few days at .25, I had a night of sleeping very lightly, and at one point I could actually feel my legs...

Well, I was leaning toward the "wait and see" option, until this morning at about 2AM. I woke up feeling like I had drunk several double tall espressos, and over the next hour or so got more and more 'wired' until I felt like I was going to leap right out of my skin!

Hello friends - I've recently started on Requip, and have ramped up to .5mg. After a couple of days at that dosage I woke up after several hours and felt pretty wired.

I HATE THIS POST. Seems more fitting for magazine High Times than our support board. Must be getting old. Sorry it bothers you, Lynne. I believe if people find cannabis of legitimate medical use they should know about avenues of administration that aren't as harmful as smoking. The point isn't to g...

fenris, are you still taking Elavil? Elavil is an antidepressant that can aggravate RLS. And things that aggravate RLS usually seems to aggravate the periodic limb movements. Oh my goodness, no - I stopped taking Elavil the day I woke up with one blanket wound around my chest, and the other kicked ...

Hello - I'm new to the board, but unfortunately not new to RLS. My legs have always been a little restless. But I didn't start feeling the creepy-crawly sensations until about 4 years ago. On top of that I never really felt rested. The doctor prescribed Elavil for sleep problems and chonic pain, and...

For those who are concerned about the effects of smoking marijuana, a tincture or extract can work as well, without the potential problems of smoking. Cannabis can be extracted into alcohol, glycerine, butter or oil. If you extract into oil or butter, the resulting product can be baked into cookies ...
