You're quite right, of course. Wrong location
So. I'm 31 and I've had RL since I was about 15. Not too bad until I was 24 when it picked up pace. I had one year with almost no RL when I was living in Japan. I think this was due to the hours I was keeping rather than the diet, as I was still consuming some Western delicacies (carbs, beer). I was working 1pm to 10pm and going to bed after 3am. It seemed to suit my body clock.
In the last three years the RL have been awful (it's all relative, I suppose). Bizarrely, the healthier I get the worse the RL get. Odd. I've been taking Syndol - an over the counter painkiller in the UK that contains Paracetamol, Codeine Phosphate, and Doxylamine Succinate. It's the Doxylamine Succinate that does the job. I tried pure Codeine tablets whilst living in Poland and I just got spaced out but with dancing legs.
This year I bit the bullet and went to the doctor. He put me on Requip. The side effects made me come off it. Within 10 days I was experiencing RL in the afternoon (previously rare for me), started buying stuff online and feeling very sick after taking the tablet.
I've just taken my first Mirapex tablet. I'll let you know how it goes over the coming days, if you like?
Fingers crossed!!
Oh, and I've got a couple of ideas but I'm not going to try them until I know whether the Mirapex works. No point confusing myself.
I've bought some ginger root tablets for circulation. I'll cut out carbs late on. I'm going to get up a whole lot earlier so I can try and reset my body clock. I've got some other ideas from here but I don't want too many things at one time to keep track of.
Kicking my legs in bed like a beached and disorientated snorkeler.
