RLS ***** and if it gets too bad..if you can, ask your doctor for something.
I kept telling myself..
If you have Restless legs..it is hit or miss what works. Walking seemed to help me some. Hot bath with epsom salts..a little. I finally had to get my doctor to refill my restless legs meds (non addictive) to get some sleep. If nothing works,your doctor might help.
Good for you. I hope all goes well. You have made a good start coming here....this site has helped me so much!!! Keep posting!!!!!
Oh my ricart that is funny but I thought I was the only one that did that....smiles....
Hey it's going to get better.You have the right idea about taking it easy.If you can go for some short walks that would be helpful.I say short because on my 2nd day I tried to take a walk and got about a mile from home and started to get sick and worn and almost didn't make it back..it's funny now but it wasn't then.lol
Thank you all so very much! All of your kind words and advice have been so helpful and appreciated. Im still going at it! Its not easy but anything worth achieving requires hard work and dedication! Im taking it slow and I jniw it will get better!
First of all congratulations on everything-brave and strong of you. I know the sleep deprivation and RLS are the worst-they have been for me and I'm still suffering sleepless nights. The thing that helped me with RLS (despite living in the bath(:) is a homeopathic remedy called Leg Cramps. I'm in Canada but I heard about it from a gal in Minnesota so not sure where you are but try it if you can. It has quinine in it. Hang in there...it gets better. I promise....Lu
Congrats on Christmas shopping...this was my first year shopping in a while my husband and I finished up yesterday.. it was so bubbly and warm...and just think we have many more exciting days ahead.. I'm very proud of u.. keep it up...
P.s - I went and done a little Christmas shopping for my babies today and spent all of my extra money on gifts and didn't even think for a split second about buying any pills with any of that money! It may not sound like a big deal but 3-4 days ago that would have been the first thing I would have thought about buying! It makes me sick thinking about it.
It really ***** to feel this bad but I know it will be more than worth it in the end. Im not even considering a pill, I truly with all of my heart know that this is finally going to be over, the pills I mean. Im excited about the future now. I know that it hasn't been very long but I can already tell a difference mentally. I can see everything in a different light and my whole way of thinking is different also. I spent the,whole day with my kids just talking and watchimg christmas movies.. I didnt realize how much I had missed them until that moment. Sobriety is and is going to be awesome! Thanks Friends!!
Poditive is good im having a ruff night too anxiaty n deppresion n some mental issues dont get along lol im fighting it im in control of my body :) stay possitive my friend we r here with u
You will get thru this. I know it is miserable but it isnt permanent. Keep soaking in the tub. Get up and move around as much as you can also. Just hang in there, you are doing something really good for you~~~sara
HI I just wanted to encourage you to stick it out and hang in there sounds like your in the early stages of your sobriety.....just know that all this pain and anguish your going threw will be worth it in the end......you might want to get some ''highlands restful legs'' you can get it at walmart in the vitamin and herbal dept it helps with the legs for tonight try raping your legs tightly with a blanket kinda like swaddling a baby it will help some keep up with the hot baths that helps most of the symptoms I will be around for the next hr b/4 I go to work if you want to talk hang in there and never take your eyes off the prize good luck and God bless........Gnarly
