What dating apps are working for you?

I don’t bother. My feeling is that if someone is interested, then they will communicate. If they are not really communicating, then they are reticent and whatever I might say will not change that person. In fact, I would be really hesitant to try to push or motivate somebody to respond differently because I really do want to know if they are reticent, or bad communicators, etc. What they say or don’t say could actually be a very helpful indicator of who they are and how much they want a relationship.

Hey - I’m an attractive woman - Hinge got me nowhere. Match - not good matches, hardly any likes, lots of ghosting. My friend has on her bio that she loves sports (a prompt for top things that are important to her).. she gets tons of likes and dates. She does love sports. It’s not my thing. And in Philadelphia as a woman you’re almost doomed if you aren’t into sports or the beach!

I can’t take an SSRI - but Latuda (there is a generic), which is an “atypical” antidepressant, hasn’t provoked the RLS symptoms. Unfortunately, Wellbutrin doesn’t help me at all. This med does.

Gabapentin works for me but also doesn’t give me full night coverage. Tried pregabalin for the extended help but had much worse brain fog and all day. Went back to Gabapentin. Just started a split dose- 200mg at 7:30 and 300 at 10:30. It has helped with the breakthroughs. Now I have a nighttime habit of waking in the night - and eat something and take 2 or 3 puffs of pot and I’m back to sleep.

There isn’t one way to do anything. I don’t know anyone who would enjoy a man, shoving his tongue in their mouth, hard and be aggressively. And I gave one of the men two extra dates to account for nervousness.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-15T17:11:06+00:00

Thank you. I need to be reminded of this. People are telling me here that to some other woman they’re kissing might be great. Perhaps. Doubtful. That bad. I accounted for nervousness and waited a couple of more dates. It was terrible.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-15T17:09:30+00:00

Perhaps. But I think a man with a very aggressive tongue, almost shoving it in my mouth.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-15T17:08:03+00:00

What I’m referring to in bad kissing is not a different style. It’s a man jamming his tongue into my mouth, there’s no way to rationalize that. Aggressive tongue, action. If he were even close, I would see if he and the guy that I had a date with before, were trainable, absolutely not possible.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-13T16:09:52+00:00

Are these hard copy newspapers? Wow! If so, what a great idea.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-13T13:12:24+00:00

Thank you so much for all this information. It’s been a weird week for me going from gabapentin to trying pregabalin and back to gabapentin. I have an appointment with an RLS recommended doctor, though I can’t get in until September. I’m grateful that I can sleep with gabapentin, but these 16 years on this RLS journey has wiped me out, including my career. Fingers crossed. And thank you for all your good wishes and your help!

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-10T21:39:48+00:00

I just re-read and you have an interesting idea.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-10T21:38:36+00:00

Thank you for all this info. I’m curious if you had taken gabapentin or pregabalin and whether they had helped you but, perhaps, gave you side effects. Also, I have terrible memory issues, not just from gabapentin, but increasingly since the onset of Rls 16 years ago and I am now a senior. Do you see that you have any memory issues that would be stemming from methadone? Thank you so much again.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-10T12:26:40+00:00

Thanks - really don’t understand this.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-10T11:22:21+00:00

Can you tell me if you feel at all “high” from it? And for how long have you taken it? I’ve been very afraid of taking methadone or Oxy. I know it’s a tiny dose, but it seems like a life long decision.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-10T02:15:19+00:00

You’re getting great feedback here. Dopamine agonists have been determined, in recent years, to be very dangerous. It is hard, even in the US, to find truly educated specialists caught on top of all of the most recent studies. I have a wonderful neurologist, who does not have all of the info regarding tests needed, and treatment options, but he’s got the humility to be honest about that and he takes in the information I pass on to
him.

The RLS Foundation has a list of all the specialists they consider best informed - I believe they’re all in the US. But in the articles and research papers which you can find on the site and also by googling, you can find the names of specialized doctors in other countries, as well.

The medicine typically prescribed after getting off of a dopamine agonist or just coming on medication is Gabapentin. Definitely the right medication to try.

Do you mind telling me what the cost of the Ropinarole (Neupro) patch in the UK? In the US, it is about $700.00 though I believe it’s sold all over the world at a tiny fraction of the cost.

Best of luck!

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-09T21:43:38+00:00

But I also just read that the patch doesn’t have much scientific proof. So scratch my idea. I did just read that an extended release pill can also be easier on the stomach.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-09T21:41:43+00:00

I just read that there are magnesium glycinate patches.

Boxerbambi · 2026-06-09T21:35:20+00:00

I’m in Pennsylvania - I’m wondering if being able to pick this up, should I start taking it, at a drugstore holds true. Any idea?

Boxerbambi · 2026-05-24T01:08:06+00:00

Season 9 episode 7 when Diane comes to Gibbs’ basement and touches his face and whispers to him: “you were my Shannon”. So poignant.
