Hi all, I wrote a while back ago, I was 12 weeks pregnant, and using oxy's and perks.  I didnt know I was pregnant.  My periods have been weird lately and thought it was just my blood count being low.  Anyway, someone put me in touch with betterlife1234 a nurse, and she helped me but letting me know the best way to taper off the oxys and to not use the perks.  I was using any where from 100 to 120 mg a day.  But two weeks later, I am comfortably at 60 mgs.  I had a couple of very uncomfortable days, but they were well worth it, I was feeling rather hopeless.  But now I dont wake up with the chills, and bodily functions are back to normal.  I was okay to eat, but not very much.  I dont get done as much as I would like to in day, considering I have three children under the age of 10 already.  I am trying not to put so much pressure on myself to make sure everything is "perfect".  But I cant sleep at night, I wake up every hour, and find myself increasingly frustrated and irritable.  I get so tired, and when I lay down and start to drift off my restless leg syndrome kicks in which adds to my frustration.  Even if I try to nap during the day my rls acts up, and I cant sleep.  I dont know what to do about this, any ideas? And does anyone have any tips on being able to sleep through the night????

First congratulations on your success thus far.Betterlife is an angel.I see her help so many woman in your condition here.The RLS was the worst part for me.Soaking in hot baths with epsom salt helped,as well as wrapping my legs with ace bandages.Sometimes I would rub them down with a mentholated rub first then wrap them.Eat lots of bananas.There is something at walmart called restful legs,but I would check with betterlife first to be sure it is safe to use during pregnancy.I wish you continued success and hope that you get some good rest real soon. Peace.
