Well after 12 years finally have a diagnosis of RLS, secondary to fibro. Have mainly in left side leg and feet. Constant muscle twitching and pain in foot, gets so bad the toes spread apart from muscles pulling. Have a new young doc who put me on requip, so still trying to find the right dose to calm the symptoms.
Nite time brings on the "marathon running", I had no idea I did this till my bf asked me about my dreams, lol. I was really shocked that I was doing this while asleep. Still not sleeping well tho and doc will not give me anything to help me sleep. I did learn here NOT to take benadryl which I was taking, so thanks for the big tip
So is there a drug to use for sleeping? Also taking antidepressant effexor cause of the fibro, taking it's toll on me. Was always told by my other docs well it's just the fibro causing my symptoms so very glad I changed doc's! Hoping I get some relief soon so I can resume living again. Walking is always painful for me can get no relief from moving as others do. Will be going to rheumatologist soon for further testing, as joint pain is present in other areas.
Well that's enough about my condition, glad I found a place where others are in the same boat, as always life goes on tho.
But I agree with you, my appetite has increased definately.
) Quitting the valium was easy. The Effexor was terrible.
