Welcome to swatty
Friday, November 4
Welcome to
swatty, whose RLS has caused a change in living pattern due to a big change in sleep habits that can be controlled "somewhat" by following strict medication procedures. A constant concern is "Will the current medication continue to be effective and if not what's the next procedure."
These are common concerns for all of us. Take a look around and then please post a note with any questions or comments that you have.

Re: November 2016 - New Members
Welcome jill s, our newest member. jill s feels that RLS is ruining life; particularly because the drugs have bad side effects.
Boy, I sure understand that! The great thing, to me, about this board is that others here have tried so many drugs that they may be able to help you find others. Or not - but either way, we understand how difficult this makes life.

Welcome to Omi7413
Tuesday, November 8
Welcome to
Omi7413, who has had RLS for yrs but it has gotten worse over the last yr. Omi7413 is now on requip and it actually works for about a month and then it has to be increased again. Omi7413 is having trouble working on an ambulance without standing in the back of the truck.
Take a look around, especially in the forum on Augmentation since the need to increase your dose of Requip sounds suspicious. And then please post a note telling us more about yourself and asking any questions that you have.

Welcome to Sleepyhead2
Wednesday, November 9
Welcome to
Sleepyhead2, who has had RLS since early childhood and is now 69 years young. I was fortunate to find this RLS site when it first became active, and found enough information to help me learn to cope and get my physician on the path to helping me. Sleepyhead2 now needs to find updated information for Sleepyhead's son and a friend.
Take a look around since you know the place and please feel free to post a note with any questions that you have. You already know how we work!
