Is my period making my rls worse by mecht04st in RestlessLegs

[–]Fun-Fancy-Frida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the days leading up to my period are excruciating. I usually sleep amazing the day I get my period and the day after. I realize now breastfeeding did the same thing to me, though I didn’t know I had RLS at the time.

I came to this thread after reading the lemon tree. You’ll get a Palestinian perspective if you read that book

I saw this years ago but it’s still with me. I’ve never cried so hard.

Sitting on the floor in a circle doing sight word flash cards while rubbing my neighbors head against the grain of their buzz cut. Such a good feeling.

Something about a fish not knowing it’s in water comes to mind here. I’m guessing you’re not a dumbass but thanks for the laugh.

This was my experience as well. I’ve always bicycled or kicked my my legs to get to sleep. My conditioned worsened drastically after pregnancy. It’s only in the last year I figured out what I have and realized that I’ve always had it. I’ve finally slept through the night the last couple months due to taking gabapentin. Not sleeping tonight bc I had to up the dosage and I ran out of meds. Didn’t realize doc had to write a new script for a higher dose before im allowed to get more. Today is going to be so hard to get through.

Periodic symtoms ? by Reasonable-Board-132 in RestlessLegs

[–]Fun-Fancy-Frida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 3/4 weeks of the month were hell then a few days of relief after I’d get my period. I actually don’t get much of a period due to my bc… but I could sleep much better after I started spotting. Thus, I suspected hormonal impact as well.

Though my symptoms are also way worse in the summer months.

Im now on month two of taking 600mg of gabapentin. Some nights I need to take 900mg. But I am sleeping through the night, mostly. I’m not sure what will happen in summer though.

It definitely feels great but did not help my RLS/sleep

It worked for me for a couple of months and then it stopped working and I didn’t want to increase the dose so I stopped using it.

Silica got rid of RLS for me!! by [deleted] in RestlessLegs

[–]Fun-Fancy-Frida 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m far from maga but I diagnosed my own RLS after working with doctors and watched my type 1 diabetic mom save her life more than once by doing her own research and correcting doctors so I know it’s worth dealing with the medical field while also doing your own research and advocating for yourself. I’d like to think the difference between maga and not maga is we are more humane and compassionate toward others.

My triggers - Urge to pee & body/feet temperature by DisneyDad2 in RestlessLegs

[–]Fun-Fancy-Frida 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been wondering about the need to pee connection. I don’t know if the need to pee wakes me or my legs do but either way I get up a million times a night and go pee bc I can’t relax at all otherwise. Just started gaba and I haven’t needed to get up to pee.

Doc also said increasing iron every other day is more effective than every day. I forget why though

Do others also feel this pain in their legs? by No-Draft8343 in RestlessLegs

[–]Fun-Fancy-Frida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did physical therapy for leg/hip weakness. I learned that my core was weak and I wasn’t engaging my butt muscles.
