Restless leg treatment? Day 4

[Gonnastop]

WAHOOO!  Can't tell you how much better I feel after only 4 days....BUT...last night was horrible.

At 4pm yesterday it was like someone flipped a switch and all of a sudden I felt the fog starting to lift and some pain was going away. Knowing this was just the beginning I did not get too excited.

At 10pm last night all of a sudden I felt cramps starting in my left foot so I put on some icy-hot and hoped for the best.  30 mins later I was hit with what can Only be described as a combination. Panic attack/leg cramps/restless leg combo hit.  I could not sit still, my feet/legs hurt but I could not locate the pain and my muscles seemed tight.

I took a hot shower but no help.  I was in agony and nothing I did helped.  Here's the bad part.  Knowing this was wd it was beyond anything I could handle so I took a 5mg norco and that knocked out the symPs in 10 mins.

I don't want to go through that again tonight and was hoping someone could give me direction on how to prevent a repeat.

This is incredible!  My head is clearing, my excitement for life is coming back and I found myself actually singing to a song yesterday.  I can't remember the last time I've done that. I can't wait for tomorrow!

Vikki is absolultley right I was going through the same thind last night but I recently started taking Potassium suppliments and eating bananas it has totally helped big time I slept better last night than I have ever slept. Listen to Vicki she has been such a cheerleader for me I appreciate everyone on here.  And IBKleen is write as well if you keep your stash around yo will always revert back to them you must get rid of everything I don't know abot you but If I knew I had an emergency stash I wouldn't be able to control myself I had to cut all contacts with everyone I knew that had them I told my Dr to put NO MORE NARCOS in my file for me I talked to my wife and she's been so supportive in my healing process i promise just hang in there you will be ok I know you will Your life will be so amazing without the pills you just dont know it yet.

Go to Walgreens and get some Hylands Restfull Legs tablets. It works great! Also, increase your potassium intake: OJ,bananas...
Get rid of the pills or you'll keep taking them!!

You have pills around? I don't know your story but if you are looking to get and stay clean you need to get rid of your just-in-case stash. Of course the rls will go away if you take a pill but if you continue to do this you will never get clean.

For the rls...Try relaxing in a reclining chair if you have one. Often times the rls begins when we lay flat so laying on angle could help.

I wish you the best.
