Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I am mentally incapable of discussing important issues in depth (I am literally incapable of paying my bills, cannot find them). But I want to call your attention to something I discuss in more detail in my expose in the adjacent thread. My latest insight is that complex medical problems such as yo...

If you read my expose you can see that there are probably some connection among mental(emotional) problems and RLS and I am putting fibromyalgia and especially chronic pain right there also. I mean unexplained pain! Depression, anxiety, panick attack can all cause pain. Why could they not cause RLS...

Thanks for sharing, Jan. Such enlightement always help, like mozaics add to the whole picture. There are several useful relevations in your post. I have had some insights over the past weekend concerning the whole family. Most professionals know that, although the sitation is better now than 20 yea...

There is someone in the woodpile (I am trying to be politically correct). More correctly there is something behind all these strange symptoms one family member is having. I am of not much help. I cannot even decide which doctor we should go to and when. I can see that they are just as puzzled as I ...

I am not sure it is better later than never especially after reading such excellent advices as one can read above. After Hydrocodone, Topamax, Tramadol, Neurontin, and finally on Mirapex plus antidepressants, then ONLY Mirapex, I feel fairly well-controlled. I agree with Jan. Dosage is important. Al...

{That wink should have gone to the title line.} Just guessing based on the first preliminary surveyof OUR RESEARCH PROJECT (ORP), both you and I belong to the minority; i.e. we have secondary RLS. It is not gene related and theoretically we have a chance figuring out what triggered it and how we we...

Well, I finally found a young lady doctor, who is quite a character. Still I probably overwhelmed her during our first visit. Everybody's adrenalin level was high, so my daughter's heart beat slid up over 50/min. The doctor was not concerned. So we unexpectedly paid her a visit next day. I looked co...

Several months ago when I also had a sleep test we had quite a discussion going on this DB. I had the impression that the primary reason doctors order a sleep test because they want to conform or rule out apnea. However, the sleep test is good for many things. It is an excellent method to determine ...

Hello Patricia: Thanks for writing me an e-mail. Something had to get me off my butt. Seriously, glancing through these most recent posts, I missed a lot. All these medications resemble those my family have been forced to endure. Let me summarize my e-mail to Patricia, then will answer in detail aft...

Sorry to be neglectful, but my daughter suddenly started to have a heart beat as low as 35 per minute. She was also treated like dirt in the emergency room (the nurse thought she was a street drug taker). I am taking her for a more detailed examination in the next large town, Tyler in a few minutes....

You certainly made my morning! How could I not immediately reply to you soulful lovely letter. And the wonderful Hungarian partial sentence! You outdid yourself! To prove it, here are my comments: szeretett............beloved (perfect, you even got the double "t" right.) (Without it just would mean ...

Well, the Madrid meeting has passed. Was rather exciting but pushed myself a bit hard, tried to work at night and lecture during the day, plus the jet lag. I can certainly send you Corrie or your friend any of the lectures by e-mail. Let me know which one she would like. On Sunday I had a bad experi...

I hoped that you would get the hint ( ) Becat. You are such a dear.

There are some good news, too. The person I was worried about is finally getting professional help.

And also talking about souls, I still have a body attached to it!

Let you know how the numbers will pick up!!!

I am getting really familiar with psychosis, what I mean that I am studying it and even visited a mental rehab center where people with acute attacks go. Verrry interesting, loosely speaking. More later. Becat, did you and Wendy hook up yet? My e-mail is down to a few a day. In the meantime, I moved...

You would not have an idea when she is coming back? It is urgent but would help if I know whether it is a month or another week. Thanks for the info. It used to be 15,000 volts and tenths of amperes. They still do not know what happens. One has to be careful in handling health care professionals. Th...
