Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Well, I just have one thing to say: YOU are WOMAN---hear you ROAR!!!!! You are not a fool! NEVER! You are a caring, loving person who always sees the GOOD in people, not the bad. You know, as I said to Lynne just this afternoon....God has hidden blessings in all sorts of things that happen to us. Wr...

Oh, Lyn.... I am so very sorry. My heart (and my eyes) cry for your loss. You gave Riley a good home, loved him so much and were loved in return. I love my little guy, Willie, so much and know that one day, I will probably have to give him up, as well (unless I go first). It will break my heart, as ...

I have to echo Nadia's comment--Excellent article!! However, even though many of the medications we take issue warnings that they cause drowziness, some of those same medications can cause insomnia in some people. I am not suicidal, but I can understand the comment that "if I died, at least I'd...

Well, well, well...you little stinker!!! You kept a secret longer than I could have!! Dinner and dancing...hmmmm.. How romantic! And, you've been talking...sharing bits and pieces of your lives. That's a good thing. Please keep us informed---but ONLY what you want to tell us. Secrets are okay... Lov...

It is so great that you did this, Hos! I meant to post right after our talk yesterday, but got interrupted and forgot! If any of you haven't downloaded Teamspeak yet because you're afriad it's too difficult, it isn't. Not at all! Hos, it was so good speaking to you yesterday. Thank you, again, for d...

Hey Kathy I didn't think you were lecturing, and I doubt anyone else did, either. I asked for advice/help and I got it! AND, I appreciate all of it. We ARE all in this together. Some things you can do, I can't (like almonds)--I can't do any exercise except walk, but walking is the best thing for you...

My Penguin! I am so glad you posted, my dear friend. So sorry about the Parkinson's dx...DANG IT! I was so hoping it wouldn't come to that. I am SO glad those two jerks are gone from your life!! And, as Ann said, so glad they weren't replaced by just another evil one! I KNOW how good you are at your...

Mark...

Thank you so much for all you've done here. You will be missed, as you can see. I hope you don't make yourself a stranger!!!!

With much respect
Jan

Thank you, Lynne. Thank you........

Much love
Jan

Gill, thanks for your reply and support. Mack, you know---I always notice that when I eat a lot of sugar (i.e., candy at the movies), I have really bad RLS that night. So, I know what you mean. Cyn, I would appreciate you posting the info you have at work. I am sure I'm not the only one who would fi...

Jan, sorry to tell you this, but the Neupro patch has been recalled, and the stock in the US is supposed to be depleted by the end of April. I think there's a post in the Pharmaceutical section of the message board. Doctors are having people wean themselves off of it. It doesn't sound like the comp...

I have to say, I 'm happy for you "Grannies"....but, a little jealous, too!!! Oh well, one day....hopefully.

Again, I am so excited for you, Ruby. As I said, please keep us posted!!

Love
Jan

Hi Kathy You sound like me---if it's in the house, it's in my mouth!!! You gave me "food for thought"--pardon the pun. You also gave me encouragement and hope that may I CAN do it. I know I feel crummy when I eat the wrong things. And, even though I said I eat fairly health---well, if I to...

I sure will, Charlene. I think my appointment with my neuro is in May, so it will be awhile.

Love ya
Jan

Ann, I'm going to get that book this weekend! I so easily slip into that way of thinking. Kathy's post was terrific and had some great advice. She wasn't telling me I had no will power. I'm tell me I have no will power! We ARE our own worst enemies, aren't we? Thanks for the pep talk! It's good to g...
