Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Not that anyone asked me, but I take Tramadol (Ultram) for pain--not for RLS. It is pretty effective. Since I had back surgery, I have pain in my back (didn't have pain before).

WAM, Ultram and tramadol are the same thing. I take tramadol, which is a generic for Ultram. I take it for my back.

Moonlight I am so pleased and so proud of you. I know how much you were dreading going to group. But, to me, you showed a great deal of courage facing something that you knew would be potentially difficult. The more I get to know you, the more I admire you. Thank you for posting and letting us know ...

It's my Penguin!!! Happy belated birthday, sweetie!!! And, Kathleen is gonna be 17? What happened to that little girl we knew?!!! I'm so sorry she has RLS, but we know so much more now and we're all here for you and for her. Give her a hug for me and have her give you one, too!!! I love you, Penguin...

Yes, Mark, I'm with you. I live in southern Illinois and not only does this weather effect my legs, but my back, as well. I swear, I can feel every single piece of hardware in my back. I hate it!!!

Hope you feel better soon.

Lynne I am so glad you posted this. I know this is a message to you, but it's your post, so I'm going to say that I was so worried all evening, but didn't want to call you in case you were able to go to sleep or rest, etc. I'm so glad you called our pharma friend, too. As we said, it sucks that any ...

Hey Moonlight I was so glad to talk to you last night. Sorry I didn't feel like it this morning (and I was doing those stupid bills!). I had a bad night, too. I don't think I'm as bad as you and Lynne...not bad pain, just RLS in my arms, back and legs. Bad enough that I couldn't stay still--like an ...

WHEW! Lyndarae, honey, you make me TIRED!!! You are one tough mama!!!

I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling good! You know I've been thinking of you..... Gosh! You are one hard woman to get ahold of, honey!

Hang in there. And, you know you have tons of friends here.

Love
Jan

Hey Moonlight!!!

Glad to have you aboard! What a beautiful name. Now, I have to think of a good name, too.

Talk to you later!

Okay........sounds like we're off and running. Just waiting for MORE of our RLS FRIENDS (that means EVERYONE WHO HAS, IS, OR WILL BE ON THIS BOARD) to join in the fun. Now, name for me <tapping forehead> Hmmmmmmm. Jannie the Poet was mentioned, and that's okay, but isn't "flowy" at all....or seducti...

As Jannie the Poet, I DO get a cute outfit, don't I? Please, not one of those matronly (although I am a tad bit matronly <sigh>) costumes with a big pointed hat. "Nay! NAY!", say I. "I must have a flowy costume. YES! I said FLOWY! (I'm the poet, deal with it!) A dress made of gossemar, like the ange...
