Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Last night turned out pretty good. Went back to bed and ended up getting about 4 hours of sleep. WED/PLMD did not wake me up. That was nice not having symptoms in the morning. Even though I have been weepy this week, I still feel better. I know that you all hear me changing my meds all the time. But...

I want to do that too, but haven't figured it out yet.

I guess that's another reason why I decided to stop the Mirapex. I have augmented and think I currently was augmenting. Plus stopping aspartame and splenda has helped. I can really see the difference. I've had 9 nights without it and it hasn't been that bad. Not like before when I tried to stop. Wil...

My pre DA days were only a few months. They started me on Klonopin and then went straight to Mirapex. I did Mirapex for about 10 years before I augmented. Of course I didn't know that and neither did the doctor. Just kept increasing my Mirapex. That was why it was so hard to stop that time. Plus the...

Didn't get very far tonight. Went to sleep before 11. Left leg woke me up with WED/PLMD. This is unusual. It's usually the other leg. But today I had my sometime Wednesday afternoon outing. It involves sitting in a straight chair for three hours. I always seem to pay for it later. So I took another ...

That's good news. I hope that you will be able to figure out when to put on your VPAP mask.

Congratulations on your find. This is very good news. I wish you success in medical school. I hope you keep in contact with us as your schedule allows. You will be busy in school.

Ended up having as ok day. Haven't had any WED/PLMD so far today. Last time was this morning. Will see how the night goes.

It's about 9:30 am and my WED/PLMD finally stopped. I am so tired, I hope I will be able to take a nap. The itching finally settled down too. I guess I won't take a Tramadol in the early morning again.

That's a good idea rthom.

Well, it's a little after 7 am and my morning has not been my usual morning. I did go back to bed about 5, but couldn't stay there. My itching became intolerable and my WED/PLMD also started. The WED/PLMD starting in the morning is not that unusual but the main difference is that it hasn't stopped. ...

I hadn't thought of having my husband tell everyone here if I died, but since it was brought up, I think I would like that. For some reason I've had death on my mind lately. I had a "I died" dream about a week or so ago and I'm going to have surgery in a month or so. Since I'm an RN death ...

It has been an interesting night. I just got up. It's 3:45 am. I'm not getting up because of my WED/PLMD. Instead my left hip aches. This is not the "bad" hip, but the new "bad" hip. I decided to take a Tramadol and wait a 1/2 hour. I did not have any WED/PLMD tonight. Wow ! The ...

Oh yes, I realized it was because of no sleep and no drugs. Sorry, I just meant the way things have been in the past and the way things are now. I just wish it would start to get better for you.

This has been a very strange week. I stopped the Mirapex a week ago. It hasn't been too bad because I had also stopped the splenda. Today I realized that I was still getting some aspartame in my system from the "no sugar" Metamucil. My husband and I just totally forgot about that. He mixes...
