Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

sorry.........long post coming up. m says "What are the symptoms of restless legs syndrome? In 1995, the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group, then comprising 28 investigators from seven countries, defined the four primary features of RLS. The desire to move the legs in association with ...

I will sit on the edge of my bed and just start to stand up. Its almost like youre sitting, but theres no chair beneath you. Your legs will start to shake with the strain. It hurts, yes. But in about 10 minutes my legs finally give up and let me lie quietly and I breathe a sigh of relief and then z...

Hi, message for the moderator or administrators, Can we request that we could have a contact, someone who could eliminate spam or inappropriate posts, etc. A suggestion is that you could get volunteers from the members to do this. on other forums i have also seen there is a way of "sticking" posts s...

Trev, the post I made was in reference to the meds stopping working, not the RLS worsening. Most people find that they have to change meds periodically. Now, some people are on the same thing for years and they are fine. But often the med or the 'cocktail' of meds has to change every so often. If y...

im sure this "O" thing has something to do with the fact that when body experiences a orgasm there is a release of endorphines (which is the bodys natural 'morphine' related chemical). i think chocolate enables the release of this too???? now if it didnt make you gain wieght there would be the perfe...

thanks nadia, im so gutted for you that yours has got worse, but so glad its under control! ive had rls since i was 8 and im 38 now- rls not worsening! my mum is 68 and rls not worsening my mums sister is in her 60's and rls not worsening thats 3 people i know... so i guess i'll just go into denial ...

. I realize that this will probably change in due time. I expect to have to make changes when this isn't working as effectively. Ann i keep seeing on the site that people are expecting to see things get worse over time. Anne has already mentioned to me that it doesnt always happen with people so th...

hi, there is a thread here that takes you to a website that talks about quinine... have a look and see what you think about the efficacy of the drug. m if you follow these threads too they talk about many of the other drugs available! there are loads, im sure something will work for you, i guess it...

[quote="becat"]Hi Jan, Count me in on the all day, everyday thing. I think that we're the few, not the many. quote] im not so sure were the few.... i get it in the day as well, quite often. ive had it the last 4 days 24/7 (im certain i have mild rls though after reading yours and others pe...

yep, mines in my left foot and lower leg. so i would concur that rls is in feet too!! I often 'callously' trap/wedge my foot between the mattress and the lower headboard and wiggle my toes and ankle crazily to obtain some sort of relief. the pain that builds up (?from the lactic acid build up when ...

thanx becat, I'm a nurse so i guess that explains my urge to find out as much as i can about this (even though i dont like what i read at times-progressive symptoms and people REALLY suffering!). i think its because i ve been "on my own in the world" of this illness for so long untill 1 week ago and...

Thanks Anne, its soooo nice to be able to finally chat to people with the same syndrome. It feels like an incredible release!! so sorry if i ask stuff thats been asked thousands of times before. your advice was helpful thankyou....i think i'll keep going coping in my own ways as i am without seeing ...
