Mirapex is amazing for RLS. Also yes a heating pad on your lower back does wonders. Your three days in. I'm twenty. The last three nights I haven't used mirapex or a heating pad. It's awesome! Stay strong. Just think, you really wanna go through everything again?
RLS kicked my butt. I did notice that walking a few minutes helped as well as stretches. I would stand and try to touch my toes for about 5 minutes several times a day. Did I touch my toes?? NOOOOO! But I tried and it did help some.
Keep up the good work!!!! Day 3 seemed to be the hardest for me. After that it goes a little easier each day. Not a lot, but I could tell a difference between day 3 and day 4 and 5.
Congrats on 3 days!! You should almost be thru the worst of this. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Immodium should help with the diarrhea. Make sure you get up and move around as much as you can. You are doing great so keep it going~~sara
You can do it! It is hard, but you are strong and have the strength within you.
Breezy, are you taking liquid Imodium for your stomac issues? Also for your legs, try a heating pad and sleeping with a pillow between your legs. Sometimes the compression on your legs help calm them down. There is also the stuff you can get for the RLS. Can't remember the name.
