Becat, I want to say I am thinking of you. Yes, stressful times make RLS dramatically worse.
A few years ago my husband got 4-bypasses after a heart attack, luckily just before RLS got bad.
It is my greatest fear that something will happen to him again, because I know I might not be able to support him well when RLS is out of the roof.
RLS has made me emotionally weaker and that scares me.
I am glad I have RLS myself and not him, for I just don't think I could handle him seeing struggling with it.
You HAVE to live by the day, Becat, otherwise you will drown. Better still by the hour. You HAVE to think of yourself first. Sounds selfish, bur RLS is a selfish thing. I find when I do that I can still mean a lot to others, but not all the time anymore, because of that horrible RLS. We have to accept that.
Bye Becat,
Corrie

hi honey
I haven't posted in a while and I actually have a minute today. Becat don't ever feel bad about feelings. Your body will build up and eventually explode. It's ok let it out. Run around screaming if it makes you feel better for a minute. I have to go outside to do it. Neighbors love it. But seriously, stress is not good. We have to have help sometimes. Surgery is never a good stress thing. It's scary. Especially heart surgery. Do what ever you need to make yourself able to cope. You know I've heard crying is your bodys way of cleaning itself from stress. So is laughing. I will be thinking and praying for you as you have done for me all this time. If you need to talk I will be here.

I am sorry that it feels like the world is crashing in on you becat. I am so sorry about your husband, and I will make it a point to pray for him. I can not say that I have been in the same boat with my husband, and I pray to God I never will, but I feel you when it comes to your grandmother. My grandpa died almost a year ago now and I am still taking it hard. Everything reminds me of him and it hurts so bad, like a knife to the heart. The only way that I can cope with his death, is to know that he is with my grandma in heaven, and that he is no longer in pain. That he is in a much better place, where I pray to be someday. I hope this helps and again I am sorry you are going through this, sometimes nothing anyone says or does helps, but sometimes it does.
