Hey Eliza it is nice seeing you posting. Missed seeing you on the board. I hope that you join our chat room tonight. I get on at 6 pm az. time.

That is a neat picture of the chair and so glad to hear that your son is doing good. I hope that you are doing good too.

Hi Charlene,

Yep, I'm always around, checking to see how my RLS friends are doing. I've been massively busy though - in a good way. Sorry, but I'll miss the chat again. I'll be on the road - getting away for a little break.

Love to all,
Eliza :- )

Eliza, it's great to get away for a 'break'.

I have seen these chairs advertised before in the media. I could see how relieving the tension on the back of the thighs may help rls symptoms cos I find lying on my 'front' is easier.

Hmm... worth thinking about. I'd love to hear if anyone has found them useful.... wouldn't a trial period be brilliant!!

I had looked at those chairs as well, but decided to take a much smaller plunge! They should work for people like me that can't stand any pressure on the backs of my legs.

Sometimes elevating my legs works, and sometimes it doesn't. I as well look for places in movie theatres where I can put my legs up -- either that, or I perch on the very edge of the chair, looking quite prim and proper. :lol:

I used to have one of the back chairs, but it finally wore out. I didn't find it that comfortable. After a while my knees would get sore. OTOH when I was pregnant it was the only chair I could sit on and still breathe. :?
