[leahlee18]

Hey all,

Hey lea  I sent you a pm  be sure to read it...........Gnarly

Thank you.  Right now the RLS is getting worse.  It was find during the day, its always night time that its the worse.  I do half the xanax, it knocks me out for the night.  I didn't get the socks and do not feel like going out.  I just want this over, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.  I laid in bed literally all day except when I went for a short walk.  I'm soooooooo glad I have this time off of work.  It does get boring but still better to be at home.  I hope I feel better soon...

Congrats to you on day 2! (ha...I rhymed)  You can take some Motrin for the back pain...this also helped me with the sweating.  I halved the Xanax for the rls and sleep and it still worked for me and didn't make me groggy when I woke.  However, you can try diabetic stockings for the rls which can be found at the drugstore.  I actually used my teenage son's calf-high athletic socks which were tight on my legs and really helped with the rls in place of the actual diabetic stockings.  Days 3-4 tend to be the worst, but the rls, lack of sleep, and emotional roller coaster tend to last awhile - everybody is different. Oh, and just when I thought I could put away the Imodium, I had to get it back out around day 8-9 for a few days.  Again, everybody is different.
Best of luck and a HUGE CONGRATS!

I just want to scream sometimes, this is so uncomfortable.  Took a bath, it helped.  Unfortunately, I start my online class tonight, so do not feel like it but I have to.  I hope tmr is a little better but who knows, could be worse...
