Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I am so far out of the loop it isn't funny but just wanted to give you a cyber-hug and say...LIFE ISN"T FAIR BUT IT"S ALL WE HAVE!! And to tell you that I would love to see everyone and their creations. I would give a lot to meet everyone I've met on this site to thank them for the many times they h...

This is a great support group and you have already received excellent advice. About all I can contribute is to keep a sleep diary. It may help you find "triggers" that make symptoms worse or even better, things that help. Moderate excercise is good, too much may cause more problems. Most of us do no...

Let's see now, who's team do I want to be on? A person who doesn't know me but judges me anyway; or people who love me and stand up for me despite my problems. I have never been an Aussie's mate before and I find I really like it. I also like knowing I have such intelligent friends that are true fri...

I think it best if we ignore you. I truly hope your life gets better.

If you don't like us, leave us.

I found a vibrating/heat pad at e-bay through the Target store. It is about 24"x12" and will vibrate 20 minutes then turn itself off. You can use the heat or not. I think I paid about $30 for it and sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I think it is what you are looking for. Just go to your sea...

I am probably rather naive, but just what kind of drugs are you talking about?

The meeting will be at the Hilton Long Beach & Executive Meeting Center on Nov 12-13. There will be several speakers covering new discoveries and research as well as several topics such as genetics, augmentation, iron therapy, etc. The fee is $30 before Aug 30 and $40 after. That will cover meet...

I really didn't mean to sound so flippant in my last post. I truly am glad that you are feeling the way you are Nadia. You are a trooper and have been through so much. You are always a great support to all of us and I treasure your friendship. Jumpy, you are probably right. I never know whether to f...

Is anyone going to the RLS National Meeting in Long Beach,CA in November. I actually plan to go and would like to hear from anyone else who might go. It would be great to meet and get to know each other. I am going for the Support Group Leader training that runs concurrent with the RLS meeting.

I have cousin that used to do that when she was little. She would sit on the couch and bounce back and forth against the back and sing at the top of her lungs. I just thought she was strange to do that until my middle daughter started doing it many years later. She was probably just 2-3 years old wh...

YE GADS!! You mean there can be a sex life with RLS??!! I am always just so pooped after working that I go to bed early (I also get up very early) which doesn't do anything for us in the romance department. But we adjust our "us" times accordingly. But it would be SOOO nice to have that old feeling ...

Nadia, sweetheart, anytime you decide you can handle a trip here, let me know. I will give you a grand tour of the kitchen!!! It is coming along slowly but it IS coming along. And Jan, you are welcome to come too. Things are still just as stressful (actually even more so) but I am dealing with it be...

One of the bad things about RLS for me is that it is inconsistant. I can do almost everything the same each night and still it won't affect my symptoms the same. I am convinced that certain foods we eat interact with our meds more than we think. Some meds work better on empty or almost empty stomach...

I have no idea if your leg cramps come from RLS. But I have had RLS for several years. Just recently I have had horrible leg cramps as well as in my behind. So far, nothing seems to help. My doctor has also made a clinical diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy and I am really ignorant about it. If you ...
