Question

Hey Sweetie. I am sorry about yesterday, our servers were down and I couldn't log on. I was so mad because I really needed to be on here. If it wasn't for this forum, I would not be where I am not. All of your advice as well as Fladdict, Yoda99 and Road2Recovery, I'd not be feeling this good. How are you feeling? Any good news to report...I hope you are ok. Keep me posted..

Hi sweetie,

Not a problem at all!  I figured it was something like that.  Dang computers! lol

I am doing good this morning.  I slept 6 hours - which is a miracle.  The way I felt last night I did not think I was going to be able to.  I would close my eyes but my mind was still racing.  Finally though sleep came.  I woke up this morning and my body is actually feeling ok.  No RLS today or achiness.  I know it's still early in the day but am keeping fingers crossed.

Did you get any sleep?  Are you doing ok?  I know the night before last was tough on you.  Is it getting any better?

Love,

Shelby

Well, Steph (Fladdict) told me about Melatonin, which is a supplement that helps you sleep. It totally worked. I went to bed at 10:30 and woke up at 6.. I was the happiest person in the world. I had no RLS at all. I am only really getting it at night for some reason...So this will be day 18 for me and I am feeling the best I have in weeks. I am glad to hear that you got some sleep. Don't even think about the RLS...I blocked it out of my mind last night and I slept like a baby...The other night was dreadful...I had RLS so bad and got ZERO sleep...The more I kept thinking about it the more uncomfortable I became. Anyway, I strongly suggest the Melatonin...it helped me and I feel stupendous now...

Let's hope it continues....

Anything else new?

I am going to get some melatonin (sp?) today.  It is a natural supplement right?  Maybe it will even help with the bizarre dreams.  

This place is a god send.  Everyone here is.  I can't even tell you how much it has helped me.  So many wonderful people here and Lisa you are so great to everyone - so supportive.  Thank you for helping me through this process.

Congratulations on another day too!  You almost have three weeks! :)

Love,

Shelby
