What a joy to know that there are others..phew!!
My friends have looked at me like I am crazy when I tell them of this very restless, annoying feeling in my legs that does not let me sleep!!
I have a few suggestions of things that have helped over the years:
Roll it out with a rolling pin,
Kick it out, one two, one two, until it is gone. (this can take from 10 minutes to 2 hours)
Take really long walks at night.
Go crazy on the stairmaster until you can go no more.
Have it excorsized out (yes I did this) and I was told that in a past life I was bitten by a snake that was still holding on. He got it. The legs have been much much better. Still get it once in a while now.
New development: body shock syndrome...my whole bod will go into an electical spasm at random times, usually when stimulated sexually, psychadelically, or spiritually, go figure. Anyone else? Will I have to start the Electrical Spastics Tribe?
Cheers and Peace to the legz of all you fine peeps..

Thu, November 25, 2004 - 8:16 PMthats funny what you said about telling your friends about it. it is damn near impossible to properly describe RLS to someone who has never had it.
what i usually end up saying is "it is as annoying as a baad case of poison oak that you can't scratch".
that about sums up the net result of it . . . .
also, a new trick that does work very well is to use a tens or e-stim unit. It is that device used in physical therapy that sends pulsing electrical current through your body via sticky pads. crank that baby up, and it works quite well . . . -

Thu, November 25, 2004 - 9:05 PMI'll have to try that! What I have is a 64 year old qwack medical device called an Electreat. Up till now I used it as a sensation toy for kinky play but it might turn out to have a legit medical use after all.
Thanks
