Hi Alisha,
Sorry I didn't read your post sooner. I have been taking Requip for a week now and so far it's working. Requip is a drug that was just recently approved by the FDA for RLS. It's a parkinson's drug. If you go to the top of this page and point to I HAVE RESSTLESS LEGS and then click on BREAKING NEWS it will tell you about Requip. Hope this helps.

Happy Birthday
Happy Belated Birthday,
Sorry that took so long. Yes, I know about those kiddos. They step on your feet when their little and on your heart as they get older. That's why God makes us love them to begin with.
What are you thinking letting them put you in a class that long. Show them the research, take the ALogrithm with you......LOL give me a smile....a little one at least. Yes, I heared some of those great English skills myself lately.....and we have spell check on computers, go figure?
I'm so sorry about the tears. you know I've given my share of those up lately as well. I think there are just days when you get full.....maybe a bit like water retention. Ok, crying is ok. It feels good to let it out in a positive way, yes, crying can be positive. I get all blotchy, runny nose, my eyes swell.......it's a pretty site. BUT I know that it's just another way to say I'm alive and fighting. You know it often takes something bad or uncomfortable to bring real change. Your still changing, that's growth baby.
Lyndarae, now you read this and heared me good!
This life is a beautiful thing and it's what we've been given. Your being so brave and taking it one step at a time. Your making this work honey, no one is doing it for you. It's all you.
Ok, so you only made it part of the class. Try talking to the professor, let him know what the deal is. Would it be so bad to walk around the back of the class? You can do this. You've wanted this and now your making it happen. One step. That's all one step. Go ahead and cry, then tell your legs you love sociology. With all you've been through, tell me you can't master this and be whatever you want. You had an off night, this will not define you. It's just a moment......((((((((hugs))))))
Are the meds not working? I thought you got them changed......
I'm sending you a hawk....be at peace and know that your doing the best you can. Who could ask for more?
Hugs darlin'

And who needs a room I could just pull an all nighter with the rest of the nightwalkers HELLO!!!!!! I will just keep praying and the right thing will happen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lyndarae
DON'T YOU GIVE UP!
It's Jan
Lyn, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to a great friend! I'm so sorry your girls let you down! Cry, honey. Becat is right. It is GOOD to cry sometimes. And, I think we've all been under the same "crying" spell lately. I just got over mine! I wish we could come put our arms around you. Feel this ((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))), too!
Now, as for school. Believe me, honey, I KNOW (because of my husband), how hard it is to go back when all you see for the most part is a room full of younger people and it's been a long time since you've been in a classroom! LOOK HOW FAR YOU'VE COME! I am so pround of you, and I WILL BE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, BUT Lyn, you can do this! I KNOW IT!
Remember that day when we "met"? God had something special planned for you. You are not through learning, evolving, LIVING, and you are DOING IT. Do you know how many times I've said "I wish I had a degree", but I've never had the nerve or the ambition to go back to school. YOU DO AND YOU ARE!
So, you came up against something hard. What have you been doing all of your life, Lyn? You are a FIGHTER! Becat gave you some good advice. She says things better than I do, but you know what I say comes from me heart, as well.
I don't have a Hawk to send you (Becat does write word pictures, doesn't she?). But, I have my heart and you own a piece of it. You got that a long time ago. So, hang in there. Know I'm on your side--WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE--you know who we are!
Hugs, GREAT BIG HUGS to a wonderful friend!

No one is alone who had friends.
Not very coherent these daze... and have flowed some rivers lately with tears... it helps to release... ((((((((BIG HUG)))))))))))) to each of you. You keep looking for that Hawk and I'll send a turkey vulture... they ain't pretty but they do stand for the power to heal ones self!
And heck I never thought till I read about getting the motorcycle. You go for it! My Family would think me daft, but honestly the feel and vibration might be just the right thing for me! Lord knows at the rate I am piling up dr bills I could have a decent downpayment. Yep Granny on her Harley in the drive way...side car for Rosie the dog...
sending positive enegy to you all. Even though I am way to loopy today to figure out names, you are all close to my heart. Hazel

HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME NEWCOMERS!!!!!! Just wanted you all to know I am still alive and kicking(no pun intended). Still no word from my daughter so looks like I wont be in Orlando. I just cant even think of being that close to my family and not being able to see them.............. I had a real rough time a couple of weeks ago midterms about kicked my butt....................well did!!! The nurse at my docs wanted me to go to the ER thinking I had a bleeding stomach......................I think I know what stress is but It sure scared me. And my legs went wild. I ended up with a B+.................... So as it looks right now I have two A's and a B. This is got to be one of the hardest things I have ever done. I now have two and one half years clean and sober. Can you believe it??????? I rode my motercycle in a toys for tots ralley last weekend,I am a real motercycle babe now and loving it. The weather has been awesome. My meds are still working really well but when stress hits I fall to my knees. I can't believe all the people I am meeting with RLS, finally we are out!!!! I miss you girls and am so busy these days I dont have time to do much of anything but put one foot in front of the other. I know you are all going to have such a good time in Orlando and I want to go so bad. Well it hasent happened yet has it? And you all know how crazy I am, so anything can happen right????? Love hugs and GODS BLESSINGS to all of you.~~~~~~~~~~~Lyndarae
Hi
Good Morning Lyndarae,
Ok, was your stomach bleeding? I know a little about stomach problems and they are just awful. I hope it came all just stress and no bleeding.
I'm sorry your legs went nuts, I don't know, but can imagen that finals could do that. Gold star for your grades. That is great. Your a braver woman than I my dear. Good for you.
Toys for Tots is a fun and great charity. I bet you made a wonderful biker babe! LOL I use to love rididng dirt bikes. I'm a big scar-dy cat now.
The weather has gotten nice and chilly here and it's so nice. You likely see a good winter so enjoy riding while you can.
There is still time, things could happen, so we won't fret about Orlando yet. We'll howl for you too, if needed, but not yet. I couldn't blame you about being so close not not seeing your girls. That newest one must be just beautiful now.
Hugs to ya honey. Keep up the fabulous work in school.
