Day 2 of WD's and legs are driving me nuts!!!

[jddancy]

Has this ever happened to any of you?  I tossed so terrible last night and my husband and I walk in the dark twice to help eleviate it.  Bath help breifly but it does not stop.  This and fatigue are the onbly symptoms I have. I feel like swinging my legs so hard it is driving ,e crazy any ideas?  I am almost 48 hrs clean!!!!

The RLS is just one of the prizes included with the detox package like sneezing, runs and lost lseep. Good job on staying with it.

Thanks.  Last night  was a little better but they are still Out of control@@ Toxictome, why did you ask why am I keeping yht RX? What rx? Just curious.  I will try wrapping them, that may help.  Does anyone know what it is from.  My poor hubby rubs them so much and it doesnt; help.

I take aspirin before and I also found that if I wrap my legs in ace bandage ( not too tight) it really helped.  Day 23 and it doesnt bother me every night anymore. Just once in a while.  Hang in there and try wrapping em up.  Let me know if it helps.

Working out really helps me...the rls goes away for quite awhile.

I'm on day 18...and still have the rls and sleep only 3-4 hrs. night....
this too shall pass....s@@n!!!  I hope!!!

Why are you keeping the Rx?

Magnesium and calcium help too. 2:1 ratio of Calcium to magnesium. When taken at night, your muscles can relax better.

Thanks!  I don't know if I can take 5 days of this leg thing,  Just sitting here typing, I have to swing my legs.  I am taking potassium and I am on bananan #3 today.  I really havent gotten diarreah, I naturally don't get it.  I have gone 5 times today but that is it.  I hate this leg thing becasue I didin't go to sleep until 4:30 and was up at 6.  SUCKS!!!  I am so tired and I can't lay down because my legs.  I know next week I will be fine, very worth it.  As alot of you know I have the pills here in my house.  Ironically a new peerscription we got yesterday.  I don't have any desire.  When I set my mind, that is it!!!

yes, i had quit hydrocodone i would say about the first night my legs started bothering me, it was a feeling i could not describe. i could never get them comfortable. it would drive me crazy because i was so tired and they never bothered me until i tried to lay down at night. after about 3 days of that feeling it turned into pain from the knees down.  it got so bad my husband took me to the ER. and ofcourse they found nothing wrong. icyhot gave me a little relief.  but i can say this, after about five days your legs will stop, just stay strong because it will get better. i know exactly how you feel..... Good Luck...

the RLS is one of the worst symptoms ...... The exercise will help. An electric blanket is great too ,you can wrap up in it ........
