Re: MUSIC / FRISSON
Boy, do I hear you on the apathetic. When I was in my thirties and forties and the RLS was causing issues, I fought back. Now, as I get close enough to think about retirement age? I just want to make it through. I have no energy. I just don't care the same way.

Re: Hot flashes with Methadone
No hot flashes for me. I get them, but it's hormonal in my case.

Re: Vacation Reprieve
I also have never found that vacations help. Wish they did! Often mine is worse, usually because I tend to do heavy activity and that almost always makes symptoms worse for a week or so.

Re: Horrible side effects on pregabalin
I question how many people react favorably to this class -so many people report here that they aren't working. That said, many of us here, as with me, started with dopaminergics and the alpha 2 delta ligands do not work well for us. At the point most of us get here and our lives have been so negativ...

Re: RLS Doc in Chicago?
I am so sorry to hear that it hasn't improved any since I left. I was at my wit's end with it. But, very happy to hear you found a way to get someone who could help you, Valthinking! (and, yes, I would agree that my husband is pretty awesome)

Re: levothyroxine and RLS
No issues here taking it. I always take it on an empty stomach when I first wake up.

Re: Surgery and Covid
I read an article a few months ago about anesthesia and how it can impact memory (which may be the issue with the lack of recollection). Surgery often causes increased symptoms - many theories why, such as the blood loss.
Definitely talk to your RLS doctor and let the know about it.

Re: Device for tracking PLMs??
As far as I know, the only truly accurate ones are medical grade and not accessible OTC.

Re: A Study
Dr B suggested I try it at my last visit. I washed out, lol - too severe. But I really did feel that for someone with moderate to mild symptoms it would have helped. It even did help some (I was on a trip with I had it - trying to decrease meds while in strange places, flying on a plane), but I had ...

Re: RLS Doc in Chicago?
I never found one - I saw about 30 or so. Moved to a state with a RLS Quality Care Center in it. Hope you find one. Valthinking - I saw Munsen's name a year or so before I left. I saw a neurologist in the Loop that was highly recommended instead and it was so horrible, I came home in tears. My husba...

Re: amitriptyline
That really sounds like augmentation to me. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. Tough call...
