Wonderful Distractions

So, what do you use to distract you from your RLS symptoms? A movie usually works for me but it has to be something comedic usually. More serious films usually cause introspection which cause introspecting my legs which is bad.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 is a great choice for me. They keep me laughing and I only remember my legs every now and then.

I am an avid Internet searcher. Search for what? ANything that amuses me, educates me, distracts me, etc.

From cooking skills, best knives to use, gluten free baking techniques to research related to RLS, I'll read just about anything if it keeps the RLS at bay, lol.

Woodsie - what is bubble breaker ?? :roll:

It's a computerized box of bubbles. There are generally 5 colors. As you pop groups of bubbles with the same color they move closer together. The more of the same color you get grouped up the more points they are worth. I've not figured out the math but adding one bubble to a group of them could get you another 200 points. Mine is on my cell phone, but I think there are other versions out there.

Videogames distract me too. An hour of any FPS or old school arcade game will get my mind off my legs.

I was almost asleep......

Now I'm playing patience/solitaire on the computer.

Grrrrrrr - I hate it when you either make it asleep and it wakes you or you think you're about there and BAM.

Good thing we have these distractions.

I tend to do research. That keeps my brain working, thinking, and distracting me. Right now? I'm researching African Violet varieties!

I guess I'm lucky... I don't have many problems and I get very good coverage from my meds..

Hope it doesn't get too much worse as I get older
