Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

NOTE: edited to correct dosage amounts (In Bold Type & This Colour) Right ... I've had enough of my daytime breakthrough symptoms I don't know what's causing them but I'm going to kick around a few ideas and see if anyone else can make head or tails of what my brain's tryin to do to me. No ... ...

Hey Scarlett I'm one of the ones who can atest to RLS being a marriage destroyer and was married & divorced by the time I was 30. Over two years later I'm living with a wonderful man who, thankfully, sleeps like a rock (the snoring depends on his sleeping position), but who also makes sure I'm o...

Yes ... he meant well.

He's as sick and tired of me bein sick and tired as I am; and he doesn't mince words lol.

Ahh ... God Bless Him

How does one react to their dearly beloved saying " you don't look well ... and i can't remember the last time that you DID look well ." I know he meant well ... but ... that just made what had turned into a horridly painful couple of days, even worse. *Sigh* Thank gawd for ready made lasa...

Just thought of something else ... Yes, the arms are horrid to deal with ... if we were chimps, we'd be fine coz we wud be able to walk on all fours ... nuff said. Had a mega-major attack whilst at a 2 hour meeting (that i COULDN'T get out of) on Monday afternoon and it wasn't just my legs, it was g...

Hey James Welcome to the place where everyone DOES understand most of what you're going through. The "signature" under my name pretty much sums up where you are right now ... "My philosophy is simply this: Life is too short to be diplomatic. Your friends should not care what you do, o...

I also get it in both arms, which, when both legs are goin at the same time, is just gosh-darn horrid. All i say to everyone in the house is "stay outta my road for a while and i'll let you know when i'm not likely to sock you one in the head." I find that i'm a lot more distressed when it...

I'm on 60mg Codeine/night (along with everythin else) and cant say i've had problems with itching. OK ... I take what I said above back. You know how you do some things unconsciously ... like scratch your arm, or your foot ... well, the itching topic was still at the forefront of my mind last night...

Copped one hell of a storm! Both Troy and I got caught out in it as our storm-fearing Rotty, Zena, found a way out of the yard. It was pure luck that Troy was sittin on the front steps watchin the storm when he felt fur on his leg; thinking it was the nextdoor neighbour's cat, he looked down to see ...

okie dokie then ... touch wood (*knockin on head*) that I don't get the same problem if I have to increase my dosage or change to a different opioid

Burning feet are one thing I can put up with ... but itching? Yeesh, it'd be like having chicken pox all over again!

LOL ... I'll keep you posted ... neva know, might find them hiding on an undiscovered tropical island ...

I'm on 60mg Codeine/night (along with everythin else) and cant say i've had problems with itching. Only major problem I have is with the feeling that my feet are dry and on fire. So I keep a large tub of moisturising cream, that includes aloe vera and peppermint, beside the bed. Some nights are ok; ...

Hey Snowbound, I can totally see where you're coming from. My problem is not the lack of wanting to, it's the entire disapperance of my libido. It's gone ... where? Wish I knew. There's been some really weird side-effects come on lately, the completely dry mouth is one; makes it impossible to talk s...

Hi Lori Welcome to the board. Glad you found us, sorry its under such yukky circumstances. What Susan and Ann have said about Benedryl is right ... it's technically a no no for us, yet I can take phenergan with no trouble whatsoever. Just goes to show that everyone of us is completely different in t...

lol ... yup ... ur so right Betty Unfortunately for me, I thought I was feelin pretty good yesterday so not only did I crawl around on the floor unhooking and rehooking computer cables; but did a general clean up of our room as well. My bad! My body is tellin me ALL about it today! It's nearly 2pm a...
