Jumping Jiminy Crickets..
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 08:26PM That's exactly how my legs feel lots of the time. Have I mentioned that I have Restless Leg Syndrome ? I know, I know, you think that's just a made-up "syndrome".....well, I did too until it got me ! I guess it was about 3 years ago when I noticed there was a big worn-out, thread-bare spot in the bed sheet about feet height. Pretty soon, a hole was there and my feet were trapped in it! I checked to see if there was "faulty fabric" where my husband's feet sleep and there was not ! I got new sheets and wrote it off to dry, cracked heels.
Before long, another hole had mysteriously appeared in the same location and I noticed I was not sleeping that well anymore. My husband was complaining about all the kicking and twitching and I was up walking around in the wee hours.
That marked the end of peaceful sleep as I knew it! Afternoon naps too !
Fairly soon, I was experiencing the "jimmy legs" in the car while driving or riding and stopping frequently to get out and walk around and around the car.
Now I'm a Requip user, and very thankful to have it. Fellow movers and shakers out there, unite, and let me hear your stories and hopefully cures ! (I've already tried soap under the sheets, teaspoons of vinegar, magnesium tablets.....so don't bother with those) I'm looking for some hard-core CURES !
