It is mid day here, and I usually have trouble with the ole body about this time. and the mind tends to go! Hope that Texas Song Bird is singing a light hearted song.

Trying to keep a diary to take to the neurologist. So looking for info on daily symptoms to see if mine apply ... so will take time to read through the links sardsy posted.

I took the requip. Honestly lack of sleep in my mind I was terrified of having some horrid reaction ... Took .25 mg at 6pm... the only thing it did was raise my heart rate to 125. Did dishes, and a few things, took shower. Did try to go bed, but didn't feel sleepy or comfortable, so back out to couc...

Terilee, I too find that massage helps to some degree. In this quest I began having weekly massages one maybe two years ago. It is not something that has decreased the indicence of flare ups, but it helps with muscle fatigue and KNOTS. Do others experience a number of knots in their muscles. Initial...

Last time I looked at the clock it was 4 something... then woke to sunshine around 7am... so I did get some sleep! After six showers and standing in front of air conditioner vent, lavendar lotion, sleeping herb...
