Jumpy

Glad you liked the question re food!! I'll try to think of others.

Jan

Jumpy, you said Why do you not post things you come across in the thread of ORP? You are EXACTLY right. I should have posted here. I said I'm always up for any advice on what foods might trigger attacks. I know it depends on the individual, but I think too much sugar has an effect on me, but there m...

I REALLY needed those hugs!!! I really went on and on, didn't I?!!! Nothing is an accident, is it? You were meant to read that post, weren't you? I still almost hesitate to call myself an "artist", but everyone else is, so I guess I will too. Ha! I'm sure you REALLY are (I've read so in many posts!!...

it's Jan and I always seem to find an old thread, don't I. I'm sorry, "Miss Mary Sunshine" is in a BAD MOOD. Imagine that!! I'm sorry! My legs have been killing me all day and I didn't get any sleep last night. They (legs) have been gradually getting worse (hurting) lately, so I saw my GP who manage...

This is Jan again and once again I'm reading an old thread. I just had to respond to Jumpy's suggestion regarding people (especially women) taking spouses along to doctor's appointments. He's absolutely right. Unfortunately in today's world, a lot of men STILL think women somehow "don't get it" (we ...

Jumpy I had a Great Day! I got almost 5 hours sleep, my legs didn't hurt too bad this morning, the sun was shining, it was below 99 degrees farenheidt outside (humidity included--I do live in southern Illinois where the humidity and temperature are often the same), and the first thing I saw on my co...

This is Jan I read and re-read these posts every day. Just found this thread and I can't tell you how much I'm learning and how much you all know. I'm on 1 mg. of Mirapex 2x daily and 2 mg. Clonazepam 1x daily and have been for approx 1 year (this time) and have had no side effects (my neuro increas...

Hi--I'm Jan and I'm NOT a medical expert. I've had RLS for about 20 years. Mine started very sporadically. The sensation I had was a creepy-crawly feeling in my legs and an uncontrollable urge to move them. The only relief I got was to get out of bed and walk. Is that how you feel? I did not experie...

Nadia I have twin daughters who are 27. I could be your mother! I was in my late 30's before RLS reared its ugly head (I may be repeating myself--I'm starting to do that a lot). Anyway, I'll be watching your posts to see how you're doing! My girls haven't shown any signs yet, fortunately. My son, wh...

I really admire you, Nadia. You have such a good attitude. But, you are so young (at least I've gotten that impression from your posts) and you have such a bad case of RLS already! I know what you mean about the chainsaw--I have thought it was lucky I didn't have a machine gun handy before after not...

I know this is an old thread but I just found it. This is Jan and I have back pain, too. AND, my legs hardly hold me up in the morning. Regarding my back, the small of my back hurts so badly sometimes, I can hardly turn over in bed. I'm on Mirapex and Klonopin which helps the RLS, but I have to take...

My neurologist at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis also assured me that there is no connection between RLS and Parkinsons. I have the utmost trust in him and believe he would not mislead me. I have been his patient for ten years.

YEAH!!!!

You got me? I notice that too. Duh!!! I just hit the darn submit button ONE TIME. Maybe they are SO GOOD "someone" thinks they should show up two times. Ha! It is kind of embarrassing, but I honestly can't think of what I could be doing wrong, can you?

Jan (hopefully just ONCE)
