Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Yes, I had the vivid dreams, tho they appear to have settled. Still sometimes.

Thanks Debs. How long does the oil take to work, i.e. for example requip takes 60 - 90 minutes??
Ta. Betty

Hi Debs, just a thought - and a little bit of guidance needed. My rls kicks in at about 2 pm when I am in work and at my desk. If I am at home it kicks in when I sit down to watch a movie etc. So can I use this oil whenever I want, and as often as I want, i.e. starting at lunchtime and thru to the e...

Debs, I agree, I am sick of medication.
And all my recent Bloods etc. all read within the normal ranges. !!
It would be great to be rid of it all.
I'll let you know.
Betty

Thank you Charlene, yes will do as you say.

My general practitioner did bloods, while I await to see a neurologist. The readings are: thyroid - serum 12.6 and TSH 0.93 B12s - 364 (normal is it seems is anywhere between 175 - 750) Doc says these are all normal. I know nothing about levels and haven't yet researched what is 'normal levels'. Doe...

Like you Aff, I am now waiting the oil with anticipation.
Debs said she went straight to the oil from requip, without weaning herself off requip. Sounds extreme... Not quite sure which way to approach it. A bit reluctant about stopping the requip cold turkey!!!

Betty

Hi Debs and JBCole You are both having such good results with this oil, and I am awaiting its delivery, so I just wanted to ask, when did you stop the requip. i.e. did you stop requip immediately you started to use the oil, did you wean yourself off the requip first, or did you use the requip and th...

Hi debs, I have just ordered restless legs oil from the web site so fingers crossed and here's hoping. Just to let folk know that shipping to the UK is another $15, but hey if it works, then it is well spent. It is not expensive anyway. So here's to seeing how long it takes to get here, and looking ...

Lynne, I was very moved by your post. I joined this board about 3 months ago, and more and more I am drawn to it, just to read, to learn, and to see how folks are doing. Thank you for your thoughts,
Betty

No Jimmy, I haven't had anything like this and I have been on requip for about 5 months. Tho I do think I have more severe leg jerks!!
Good luck, Betty

Would you believe it!! I am going to see my doc tonight and unbelievably during the last 2 days I have had only one period - a half hour- of rls. Nothing whilst at my desk at all, slept great at night, and just the one little spell whilst sitting trying to watch a movie. I could live like this OK (o...

Thanks Ann and Jeff I only cut the requip from 2 mg to 1.5 mg on one night. Since that I just from cutting the dose on that one night. I reckon I am augmenting after 5 months on the requip. Having said that !!!! yesterday, a Sunday at home, I had a great day, no rls AT ALL. Let's see what happens to...

I hope someone can help me. I have been on Requip for 5 months and tho not brilliant I thought it was of some help. I got some sleep tho it was light and I would wake several times but get back to sleep. any symptoms during the day I was dealing with. BUT now they are worse during the day, and I hav...

Good Lord.. I can't think of anything worse than having to sit in a car for 2 hours, and not actually going anywhere which is bad enough.
I agree, spend your time nearby - and have your son ring on his cell phone when he is ready. What a nightmare !!
