Roller Coaster Ride

[debbluebird]

It seems to me that we are on a roller coaster all of the time. Up and down. For a few nights, my leg was quiet. Then last night it went nuts. I was in a meeting and had to stand, pace and rub my leg to get through it. The whole time I was thinking I should just go home and get in the bath tub. This is just a crazy way to live. Tonight it wasn't as bad, but not as good as before.

Crazy, indeed.

mine was horrible last night too--we'll see what tonight brings.

Last night I couldn't go to bed, even though I was sleepy because my leg was going. Then when I did go to sleep, my husband says I was restless and moaned all night. I think that was about my hip. So he didn't sleep until I finally settled down. It is crazy. I thought I slept from 1 to 7 last night, but I feel really tired, so I know I didn't. I just hate this.

[rthom]

Sorry to hear that deb. I hope it improves soon. Is yours usually worse in the summer?

[debbluebird]

I don't seem to have a pattern other than up and down, good and bad. Just comes and goes.

[rthom]

same here

[badnights]

me too. Three bad days, now a goodish day.

Today has been horrible, most of the day. From am to pm. More WED/PLMD than I've had in awhile. Have taken 1/2 tab Methadone early, plus I took a second 1/2 tab a few hours later. Still no help. I have been getting in the bath tub every evening, but didn't want to this afternoon. I'm trying to watch a baseball game that's really good.

I think we here with severe RLS/WED would make a good horror flick. We will call it The Night of the Living Living Take care of yourself

Yeah, if a baseball game doesn't put you to sleep nothing will Methadone doesn't work for me much anymore except during the day.

[debbluebird]

Even with the extra methadone, it still wasn't great. Then hubby gave me a 1/2 an oxy. That finally did it.

I'm happy for you that the oxy worked!

[debbluebird]

I don't do that very often. I don't like to take his. Just when I'm desperate and he insists.. He needs them for his pain.

I love that! Night of the Living Living! I guess we could have a TV series called The Walking Living, too! You have to laugh at it, sometimes. I've been having a rough couple of days... I have slept about 2 hours in the past 48. I am really hoping I will be able to get some sleep tonight! Legs and arms both driving me nuts!
