Restless Legs
I wonder how many of you have restless leg syndrome and maybe do not
even know it. I have it and it began when I was a teenager. I
remember riding in the car and thinking how uncomfortable I was, and
I just had to move my legs. As I got older it got worse. I would lay
down at night to go to sleep and they would start. I just could not
lie still my legs were kicking and cramping and I thought I would
lose my mind. It is a awful feeling. Then I went to a sleep doctor
and had a sleep study done and found out I have restless leg syndrome
! I am now on medication for it. It was so bad that at times I would
think if I could just chop these legs off, this is a common thought
of people with this.
I take my meds every night and if we are going on a long car ride.
Sometimes during the day if I sit to watch T.V. I have to take one.
This is a condition that runs in families. There are things you can
try besides meds such as a heating pad, a cool bath or a warm bath.
When going on car rides stop and walk when you can. People that have
restless legs often have sleep problems. Restless legs are a life
long condition and gets worse with age. Some things that may make
RLS worse are low iron, caffeine, smoking, alcohol and certain
medications. The cause of RLS is not known. About 12 million people
in the US have RLS. Here are some sites you can learn more about
restless legs. Please feel free to write me about this if you would
like. I pray you all a wonderful nights sleep.
