Full moon

[jbmon]

This seems like an odd question, but since I am affected by this, here goes.  My RLS is in high gear about 4 days before and 4 days after the full moon.  I had been on Requip for about 2 years and although it was helpful, those 8 days the medication did not seem to help.  My health care company decided that Requip is no longer a formulary drug,so I have switched to benztropine.  Unfortunately, I had to switch during the last full moon and really did not get but a couple hours of sleep for 3 days.  The beztropine seems to help, although I think I'm having some side effects from it.  We are approaching the full moon again, so I'll see what this medication can/cannot do.  Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi, I have always noticed how people act on the road during a full moon. They drive fast and aggressively, taking risks, not looking when they change lanes. I myself feel out of sorts, dizzy and sleep  badly, even though I have sleep apnea and use a Cpap it always difficult. All I have to do is look out the window and sure enough the moon is full. On full moon nights my circulation is sluggish too. I know that the moon pulls the tides so it also affects your emotions and blood circulation, no kidding!
