Cant remember whether you are taking meds for your RLS... or what you are taking..

I think we all silently scream in the night when we cant sleep so not to wake anyone else...

Hello Lake

As Ellisse says what has the doctor given you so far? re your symptoms sensory or painfal or both?

You can do temporary things like massage a number of days the legs and your arms. I don't get it in the arms but that must be terrible. Make sure that you get your doctor to listen to you even if you have jot down a diary for a night. If you are not under a neurologist asked to be referred to one.

The website rlshelp.org contains a lot of information and rls-uk.org is helpful too.

=) Wishing you sleep well this night.

I had a terrible night with jerking arms and legs..

I woke my husband up so many times by trying to get comfortable

so I got out of my bed and did lots of housework and Christmas decorating.

I had to work today. It's been rough so I am hitting my bed for a 30 min nap

to tide me over for the rest of the day. I have so much to do as a volunteer

later today. I'm almost overwhelmed.

You have all my sympathy, but do scream, not loudly. A word of optimism for a change I had a good, slept from 23:00 until ( hold tight now) 08:20 this morning. This has not happened for years??

The reason might be that I woke with my MARGARETA warm socks/boots on

(102. thee last years.364.08) from IKEA. My guess is that my feet were always warm, never got the chance to get cold and restless . I wanted to share this experience with you, since I have had more experience with 2-3 hours sleep and the walking up and down, knitting or reading an audiobook, for
