Restless Leg Syndrome

7_Deadly_Sins · Mar 29, 2009

I'm making an appoitment for Monday or Tues...I'm tired of this not being able to sleep at night.
I use to be able to just wear socks and the itching feeling in my foot would go away. Now it keeps me up for hours on end...and I get so pissed off at it I want to sling shit around.
I took some ibprofin last night, didnt help...had to take a PM to fall asleep at 3:30, I laid down around 1:30.

I'm so sick of it, it's unbelieveable.

Here are a few things I'm going to tell my Dr.
Happens only when I sleep
Only happens in the evening
Foot "itches" inside
Legs jurk, feeling goes away, comes back 30 seconds later

Girlfriend complains that I twitch alot when I sleep.

I have never sept straight threw the night

I'm hoping she can give me something for the RLS to go away, and maybe even something to stay asleep.

Has or does anyone have this,and is it cureable? If you do, maybe you have some tips on how to deal with it till I can get something.
really hope Idont have this the rest of my life.

Had something similar. More of an ache in the leg muscles like they needed to be stretched. Tightened up and hurt - only at night. It went away on its own but took a few months at the least. I remember some commercials for RLS about 6-8 months ago and the possible sides were numerous so be careful.

i had the same problem, it would feel as thought my leg and feet were twitching. My MD perscribed me trazadone (sorry if misspelt) and that actually made it even worse. So for the past 4 months i have been taking 3mg of Melatonin, and i fall asleep quicker than my 7 month old who just got some mommy-milk

RLS

I have this also and the only thing that works for me
is to get out of bed and take a super hot bath. It seems
to relax the leg muscles and allows me to go back to sleep.

What does pramipexole do exactly(the benefits)?

I've taken Melatoni before..and when I do it keeps me up longer? Like my mind races and I cant fall asleep. Weird.

Back in the early 80's my mom had RLS... but the doctors just thought she was crazy... They never heard of it then and it wasnt called RLS it was... "your crazy" lol.... but now there are tons of ppl with it and once again the drug companies have a pill for it.

i know its very similar to xanax... but i cant remember the name of it... when i see or talk to my mom ill ask her what its called.. she is still on it and takes it right before bed

Keep us posted. I have that shit really bad. I broke both my legs in an accident and I think its from that. The only thing that helps me a lot is when they're massaged.

Ah, finally found it..pramipexole is an anbolic.
I doubt I'd take that b/c I do natural BBing.
Anyone know how strong it is?
