beady3, I have to agree with you 110%. Even though I am sure the comment was meant in jest, it clearly was not thought through before being said. I guess you have to be a parent of a fur-baby to truly understand.

Well, my now moved-out nextdoor neighbours had four cats that used my garden as their personal litter tray and killed all the birds. No good talking to the neighbours - the cats are only behaving naturally. If somebody had suggested strangling them, I wouldn't have done much to dissuade them - with or without RLS-related exasperation. Luckily the cats and their owners left, and the birds have returned :-)

What a stressful day! If your legs are giving you gyp how do you watch a video. I try standing up watching TV but my legs don't like me standing still so I generally walk around doing chores so, inevitably, I miss bits.

Me too lois Tonya. Cannot sit or stand still. When I am up with RLS I either walk around the house or stand with my feet/legs tensed up for as long as I can stand it and then walk again. I never sit for any length of time in the evenings. Nightmare isn't it.

Hi Keiralee,

As my legs are at their best in the morning I take advantage of the chance to sit down and save the chores for the evening. I do play board games from 6.30 pm and my mates have got used to me walking around the room between my goes.

hi ELISSE thanks for posts patches/chest meds here this morning am on the mend now

I just started a low dose of Prempro yesterday morning. I am on RLS meds in the form of a patch called Neupro.

Last I had the worst case of RLS of my life! Had I known that it could tear me up like this I would never have agreed to take it. What's more RLS isn't even included on the sided affects nor was it discussed with me by my gyno. I had to look it up online to find the truth.
