Mangosteen Trials For Restless Legs

I received my shipment of Mangosteen juice this past Friday and drank some as fast as I could get the protective wrapper off of the cap. This is not the same as the kind I got last time because I wanted to see if were the Mangosteen juice itself that worked so well [...]

Benefits Of Ambien. What Is A Good Night's Sleep?

It is five in the morning and I have laid awake for at least an hour now contemplating that very question:
What Is A Good Night’s Sleep?
For quite a while there I was prescribed Ambien to sleep at night. If only in my own mind, I was becoming afraid that the use of Ambien was [...]

Stress and RLS? What A Crappy Duo!

My legs have been bothering me so badly lately that I am forced to take the Requip twice a day, every day for over a week. I take it with my morning meds AND with my night meds. So, why is this happening?

Energy Surges Twitch Me Awake Again

It is 1:44 in the morning and I am sitting on the bathroom sink in my hotel room writing because I cannot seem to lay in bed.

RLS: The Legs Win Again

While on my flight last night, sitting in my jump seat, I watched the woman in the front row. As she tried to rest her eyes, I noticed that her legs twitched and shook. Every few seconds her right leg would start to twitch forcing her to move it with no relief.

As I watched, I [...]

It's 2:10 and the Dogs Are Still: Mangosteen

I have had my juice for two days now. I definitely think there’s a difference. Whereas yesterday I was ready to run before ten in the morning, I still feel great. I am getting ready to go to the gym now because I am still tired. I think that’s from the new “don’t freak out [...]

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and Sleep

BASICS:Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurologic sensorimotor disorder that is characterized by an overwhelming urge to move the legs when they are at rest.

It's Official on the RLS Front

OK, wow! I think that I figured something big out.

Remember how I said that I was excited about the fact that I went from needing my Requip earlier and earlier? Maybe I didn’t but it’s true. I usually take it with my 8:00 pm meds because it does make me tired. I try not [...]
