Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi jlady, the dose is increased gradually until you reach the dose that works for you , then stay with that dose. Don't go higher than you need to. what about splitting the dose and take part of it early in the evening followed later by the rest of the dose. It may help cut the nausea, and remember ...

Yes Susan, what life dishes out !!!! I understand just what you mean when you talk about emotional pain. I can deal with just about anything, sort anything, but emotional pain is different altogether. And it doesn't matter whether it is real or perceived. You have had an awful few years. And you are...

How wonderful..... all that sleep.... fantastic.

I wish you the same tonight. zzzzzzz.....zzzzzz

Hi susan, when you talk of ptsd anxiety you sound like you didn't know that was the cause of your anxiety. does that mean it is something that has to be worked through as well and taking meds. Today I returned to the doc. I still have symptoms tho not as bad, but always there. Lump in throat, and Ch...

our thoughts are with everyone in Toronto

Hi MLV sorry you're here out of necessity, but welcome. I have found the Mayo Algorithm invaluable, print out a copy and take it to your doc and see if he will work with you using it. There is a link at the bottom of kbear's posts. Otherwise go to rlshelp.org and you will find it there. Good luck.

Happy birthday Jan,
Wishing you everything you could wish for yourself

Here in UK, I am prescribed ropinerole (requip) under the name of Adartrel. They are .5mg and oblong in shape, great for breaking in half, and doc prescribes me 4 daily.

Don't want to sound cynical, but I reckon if rls could be cured, that Dr. B would have told us about it ?????

Cheers Tom, Only 2 more Mondays to go, then a public holiday, and then I start my 4 day week, with no Mondays. Today 'my lawyer' goes on maternity leave and from today, for 6 months, I will have a locum who seems OK. Work is constant, but with a good lawyer to work with, they can make or break the j...

Hey Tom, just gotta reply, even if just briefly, and say thanks.

I think the 'more of let it slide' is what I need.

Goodnight.

I remember having an eye tic , a couple of years ago, that went on for several weeks, and then just disappeard.

I had forgotten about that.

Thanks Tom. And Yes, our holiday was grand, switched off OK. Now back in the normal world it is hard to lower the pace but I am trying. A lot of it is mindset. It is only myself that sets these standards. It is easy to fall back into the pattern of thinking you should be all things to all people, No...

Hi Tom, I'm here. I'd never 'move on'. I have only just read your post in question, and yes, I completely got it also. I knew right away that it was all 'tongue in cheek'. Indeed I was on holiday, and have been back for a week, but have been doing a little forum reading, and even less posting. I had...

You always seem to pull yourself out of the low down times. Well done.
