Cuddling up with a lover for RLS sufferers?
Cuddling up with a lover for RLS sufferers?
Is it possible?
I know it certainly isn't for me.
How I envy seeing couples snuggles up on the coach by the fire and know that that's not possible for me.

Cuddling is a nightmare and pretty impossible when symptoms are active. As I now take medication there are times when all is ok, and grab the opportunity

Oh, if I only had a lover to cuddle up with. I sure would give it a try, RLS or not.

Thanks to rls.org, I have learned so much about my condition. I have received encouragement from my friends here. This is a site I can come to when I am up most of the night, and I vent, and know those who read my messages understand

I recently (against all odds, given my screwy life thanks to WED/RLS) started seeing someone. I've discovered that my RLS acts up when I'm trying to sleep and he so much as rests a hand on me. Lord when did my life get like this!?
And quite apart from that, I can't sleep at all in the same bed as him, unless I take a full zopiclone, whereas a half usually does it when I'm alone.
However, I'm lucky enough that I can snuggle on the couch for short periods of time in the evenings, before I have to get up and do squats. He's very understanding about it all. Remarkable.

Beth, I'm very happy for you that you have found someone who is understanding. I spend half my nights wandering and popping back into bed now and again. I can manage better if I get up and go to the spare bedroom but am reluctant to make this the norm. Even if I end up in the guest room I try and get back into bed with hubby before its time to get up.

I sometimes end up in the spare bedroom but always start the night in our bedroom. If symptoms get too difficult I may get up for an hour or I go into the other room. Generally hubby might be already asleep when I do this and I try and be back in our bed before he gets up, or awakens. But he is always able to tell me that I've been gone.
