Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thanks for the input girls. Susan, I love the dog...Corrie may be on to something. Maybe it's something to do with heat tolerance. I have noticed lately if the house is really cool, I am not as quick to sweat. But when doing gardening (although it was fairly cool outside) I needed a towel. When I ta...

Hi Cindi, My granddaughter just told me how to make a new paragraph..I had forgotten. Wow, this is fun. I don't really think it's the Requip. And he gave me a starter kit for the Miripex. I tried that for a couple of nights and did not sleep because I was jumping all over the place. I wonder if one ...

My bet is on an interfering pharm...have had that happen. Call your doctor and verify...Pat

Hi Mary, Re: Statin drugs... I have been off for about 6 months now. Partial relief from the muscle pain. I have read that it never completely goes away. My gp ordered an ultrasound on my legs this week. I don't have the results yet. He did admit that part of the problem was the statins. But will no...

I have developed a problem over the past several years and it seems to be getting worse. I break out into a very bad sweat on my head and face. Even when in a cool room. Like the old fashion "hot flash". I am well past that age. So it has to be something else. My GP and I went over everyth...

Not to promote anyone. But...try Overstock.com..I bought 4 in memory foam topper. Put it on top of the pillow top and now need a stool to get into bed. It sleeps well, but my hubby still moved to the extra bedroom. It seem I was still kicking him. And when I was going through a very bad bout of inso...

Just got the summons..Mentally, I feel like it and I really don't mind doing my civic duty. BUT, with the diabetes, arthritis, and RLS can I sit through it? I can't sit still at home for very long. Always getting up to do something when the RLS sets in. Can't very well eat a package of nabs or candy...

Hi Zack, being one who has had tooth problems as long as I can remember. (got the bad teeth and the RLS from my mom) I can tell you your mouth usually heals fast. So maybe you won't be so bad by the time you read this..Thing of you...Pat

Very interesting Anne...Did I notice they are now admitting "pain" is also involved with RLS? Wow...Just think all this time (I'm 60) I thought I still had growing pains..Whatta ya know. As I just popped a Requip and 1/2 a precious Lortab, these videos really hit home..BTW it's just 2:30 in the afte...

Tazz...what's with the soles of the feet? I, too, find that rubbing with some kind of lotion helps. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I'll be sitting on the side of the bed rubbing. Got the softest feet in town...Pat

Oh Mia, you look so much like my 21 year old granddaughter, I want to send you a hug((())). I can't figure out how to work the emoticons so this will have to do. Do you live in a town with a military base? We have a Navy base in the area where I live. I know they have support groups. And now days th...

My pharm. also lets me know if somethings different. Like my thyroid meds changed from one generic to another brand. They let me know it would look different but was the same meds. Still, I check and count... Pat

Hi Guys...It's snowing in Mississippi..Not sticking to the roads, so it's just pretty...Mary, I take Requip and was on the statin Vytorin. The statin caused severe muscle pain and weakness. I have been off since Oct. and the muscle pain is slowly going away. It can be a really nasty drug, with many ...

I can understand why sleep disruption could affect your heart. I too wonder if the people they studied had the RLS meds?? Pat

I was in banking for many years. First as a teller then a loan officer. Whenever a new reg came up and inevitably teed off a longtime customer, I always told them "the good guys have to pay for what the bad guys do". Guess the same in medicine. I've never had to sign anything, but I go back Thursday...
