Restless Leg Syndrome?

[Chicky Tocks]

Hmmm...I've never been tested for anything like that. I am on the small side of sizes though. I'm the person that the bigger than me girls like to pick on by telling me that I need to eat more beans.

Makes me wonder if that has something to do with it. Most of the people that I have known to have RLS have some type of Auto Immune Disease. Lupis or Thyroid.

Sheep and bedchambers just can't be a good combo for so many reasons. I was thinking maybe he meant lambswool but didn't want to pursue it further.

Roadmaps for veins on my grandfather's legs is what I meant. I swear I proofed that and still got something goofy in there not even trying. Must be my glasses!

definately not a bunch of nonsense

- it was quite embarrassing trying to explain to my family dr. 10 years ago what I was going through... maddening as all hell to be honest. He'd look at me like I had 3 heads! But then again... back then they didnt believe in fibromyalgia either....

and I have that too... or chronic fatigue syndrome... Matter of fact my family dr. didnt believe in fibro until HE came down with it.... Well La-te-dah doc...took you getting it to believe in it eh? Hmmm... strange how life works

ahhh..thank god doctors and the medical community finally smartened up, listened and learned from their patients huh?

I've been to one too many who I could've

quite a few times...

i think fibromyalgia is just something they tell you to make you feel good about feeling bad. no offence but it is a made up illness in my opinion.

Fibromyalgia is not a "made up" disease, it is real and painful. sometimes it is unknown why we feel that way. So it is not a joke. That is what my family doc said and it offends me when he said it. It is almost like telling you "its all in your head".

Anyway, back to your wonderful RLS program!

RLS used to thought of the same way. Now they know differently. I have a very dear friend with fibromyalgia- it is not a "made up illness".

Just read all the thread.
Dr will give Mirapex for RLS. I can only take a 1/2 dose or I simply cannot function at all during the day. If I dont take any I dont sleep but 2-3 hours and cant function during the day. No matter how well or not I sleep I am narcoleptic all day. I had to quit my job and am scared to drive now.
Mirapex is a drug used for treating MS.
