Had a hard time finding ones that had good reviews and came in a size small enough for my legs. Was reluctant to shell out more money on a maybe. Price range from 200 to 800 too. I would love to be able to try these out first!

I must have been on drugs when I posted that. I didn't realize it was about blood-pressure cuffs, I thought it was about other pneumatic devices.

Its called fatigue brain fog.
Or on the other hand, yes you probably were on drugs, we almost all are on drugs....... lprescribed.
Have you ever written a post when a sleeping aid has started to work. Yikes - On occasion I've seen a post that I've written during the night, that I'd forgotten about... and that looked like I couldn't type/couldn't spell.

I do that lots, have no memory of it; but generally the post makes sense and soounds like something I would have said, so I don't worry about it much anymore.

My understanding was that she was using a blood pressure cuff until she could get a pneumatic compression device that she had ordered from Sears. Unfortunately the link she posted is broken so we may never know. Anyway... I've seen less expansive devices around, like at Walgreens, but not recently. I did come across one study that shows them to be effective in treating RLS: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19017878
I don't think you're losing your mind, Beth. At least any more than the rest of us!
