Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Susan I am glad that you liked the poem. It meant alot to me when one of my friends sent it to me.

I know it is hard and you are in my prayers and know that in time it will get better.

Everyone have a wonderful and blessed Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Years. If you are traveling, please be careful.

Lynne I just watched this video and I feel that it was done in good taste. I do not feel that it was offensive at all.

Hey we all have rls on this board so please look at. It is very interesting.

Susan I had someone send me this poem when my mom past away. I hope that you do not mine me sending this to you. Charlene When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did...

Oh Susan please accept my sincerest sympathy. At least your mom is at peace now and no longer in pain. Please take care of yourself.

Just my two cents --- I had debilitating toe and foot cramps as well as "crampy twinges" in my calfs - like someone was pinching the inside of my leg. My neurologist seemed unsure whether these toe / foot cramps were related to my RLS and we decided we would see what happened with the med...

Susan I know it is hard to see your mom going down. Thank goodness for Hospice. I lost my mom five (5) years and it was a blessing to have Hospice. Please never apologize for talking about this at anytime. It is good to talk this out and we will be here for you at anytime. You, your mom and your fam...

Oh James my heart ached when I read your post. How insensitive can people be especially "family". We know what you are going through and like Lynne said "you did not chose RLS it chose you". I would never wish this on my worst enemy and to say that it does have to be bad. Let som...

Oh Susan I am so sorry to hear what is happening in your life. I know it is hard to see your mom the way she is. I am so glad that you did not get into a serious accident. Please take care of yourself. I know that is easier said then done. I always say a prayer for all of the rls family and will add...

Hi Scarlett
I tried the South Beach Diet too and to no avail did it help with the rls. In fact, I have been having symptoms everynight for quite some time.

I do agree that stress can definitely trigger the rls big time.

Lynne
So good to hear from you and know how much you have been and will be missed.

Love you my dear friend.

However, Codeine is NOT my main RLS drug. Clonazepam is (Charlene, if you're reading this, don't have a heart attack, ok!). My experiment was signed off as ok by my sleep doc and currently I take 3mg or 4mg of Clonazepam (to help me sleep), 60mg Codeine (to help with the pain) and 150mg Amitriptily...

Hi Lynne
They are losing a very supportive, caring and wonderful person. You have helped more people and know they are very greatful for that and I am one of them.

You take care and take some well deserved time for yourself. You have more than earned it.

Love you my dear friend.

If this is the way the board is going to continue, then I'm not sure I want to be a part of it any longer. I am not taking sides here, I think both people could have handled it all better. We are supposed to be here for each other; what happened? Ruby, thank you for posting this. What happens when ...

Hi PB thank you so much for your nice comment. You take care of yourself and have a great week.
