Well here is day 9 and really it is day 15 without narcotics but i took 10 tramadol over the coarse of last weekend so i think it messed w me a little not sure how many days to count here. anyway i have been posting the whole time and got really only a couple responses for support here they posted 1 time and dont come back i have been working through w a friend desperate which i am thankful for we have been sticking it out together but could use some more people here. I see all these other ones that have TONS of support and others not so much. I feel like its me psoting to myself aside from desterate posting too. i have been having a terribale time w restless legs wondering how long this lasted for others it seems to let up a bit but i have been really forcing myself to stay really busy even tho sometimes i feel like i cant even pick my feet up. I start the morning feeling pretty good then feel drained after a couple hrs. Not gonna psot everythign from my bcakround u can go read my other post but i will ad that i was clean for over 2 years so i have done this before and it was the best years of my life once clean i keep looking forward to the holdiays of being clean and feeling good and taking my 10 month old trick or treating for his fisrst halloween i LOVE the fall so i am hoping that helps and i start to feel better soon. Any thoughts, comments, or jsut support will help i like to here about others journies through this too. Cnat wait to regain my life and live a abundant life that Jesus died to give us i used to be really active in the church but the past year on htese pills have robbed me of so much congrats to all that r doing this i get so happy when i see another one taking their life back from these evil pills blessings

Don't quit posting.  I get sick for days at a time and can't get out of bed.  I have been clean since Oct. 7.  I quit counting the days.  Your dinner from the other night sounded great -roast, potatoes and carrots!  Yum!  I am still stuck in the grilled cheese phase and haven't graduated to anything else since.  Gotta to go pick up my son at school but will post a longer message when I get back.  Hope you are having a blessed day!

Don't quit.  We lost a day when the site was down and it was also down this morning for a few hours.  

I started stretching my legs lately and that has helped some.  I stand straight and bend over like I am trying to touch my toes.  I am too old to do that well and never get far, but it stretches my legs enough to help.  I do it about 3 minutes or so.  I walk around and then do it again.  Wish I had discovered this last month!  LOL

It is trial and error to what works.

ugh littlebit i would not wish that rls on ANYONE.... it seems to be getting better i start getting it around 7:30 but i seem to be able to fall asleep still i wake up every hour or two and takes a while to fall back asleep i need 11 hrd of UNINTERRUPTED sleep.... the rls comes back in the AM around 4 or5  and i have to get out of bed but starting the day that early makes me EXHAUSTED i have to break this cycle somewhere... i stayed really busy yesterday we had some friends over from our old church for dinner made roast, potatoes, and carrots really good meal and nice time visitng but after churcha dn then the meal i was sooooo tired. i am thinking bout going to the YMCA today w my son maybe swimming... i would like to go on the treadmill for a bit too. I REALLY appreciate ur support here as everyone else either never bothered to post or stopped posting it is kinda upsetting i have been trying not to let it get me down but it is kinda sad when u go to all these other forums and see SEVERAL people faithfully posting to help them through several times a day i dont get how they decide who is important enough to help and who isnt??? anyway i have considered stopping posting several times as it jsut doesnt seem worth it but for now i am contnuing i hope u r doign will and agian thanks

Medhelp was offline all day yesterday!  Finally came back at midnight my time.  RLS will stop.  Mine has not, but I have had it for years before the pills.  3 weeks is huge!  You are right that first laugh is wonderful!!!  Keep laughing.

yeah littlebit unfortuanatly it is one drug that will help it but i cant take them so i will have to deal w whatever happens. OK i tried to get on here yesterday it was down when i did but we had a very BUSY day yesterday. My husband told me i had the day off he was cleanign and taking care of baby he told me to go do whatever i want even if it is sleep in a park lol. I went and got my haircut got my eyebrowns done, went to the chiropractor, grocery store and to lunch w my sister. I felt really good then after supper we carved a pumpkin for the baby's first halloween. It was a really blessed day i am so glad i was able to stay busy feeling good for the most part and being clean all at the same time. Last night i laughed so hard w my husband i had tears rolling down my face i looked at him and said this is the laugh everyone talks about ur first REAL laugh:) i am soooo happy i cant believe i have made it 3 weeks i did have a dream last night and woke up w not a mental but a physical craving i had pains in my stomach and had that really bad feeling in me about wanting pills it was not a mind thing but a physical thing it kinda scared me that was the 2nd dream i have had now that i took pills i felt really defeated cuz i thought i relapsed but it was just a dream actually a nightmare... the RLS have clamed down a bit u slept on and off last night but they start right back up at about 4 am i am hoping since it has supsided it will go away soon... i hope everyone is hanging in there know that is DOES get better just keep pushing the days go by a lot faster too i already have 21 days:) i am sooo happy and i thank my God for this all... blessings to u all i hope to hear some replies

I found out the hard way that my pills kept the RLS at bay. I slept well, too but woke up drugged and tired.  3 weeks is awesome!
