Restless Leg Syndrome

59

By RoeB

Did you ever feel like you have bugs crawling all over your legs, or legs knot up and release and leaves you black and blue? I am going to say if you do, then you go through what I have gone through all my life as long as I can remember. I have been to so many different doctors, which in turn sent me to another doctor. I was a tossed piece of meat, never with an excuse to what was wrong with me. I have had at least 6 pysch evals, and always walked away with flying colors. However again with no excuse what was wrong with me. I couldn't sleep at night like others. I would try to relax and the minute I would start to fall asleep, it would start. The older I got the worse it became,

Well now doctors admit they are aware of the problem, and have a name for it RLS or Restless Leg Syndrome. For so many years I was treated like I was mentally disfunctional, and now the problem is so severe that I have to take so many medicines. Doctors are always apologizing for not recognizing the problem back then. So far there is nothing they can do but to continue to keep me on the pain medications. There are no more questions about my parent, were they alcoholics or in to drugs. I actually feel like a human being, that they are concerned about. So what now, who knows, will it be a good night or will it be a rough one? Try ice on your feet or cold water as cold as you can get it. Don't scratch it only makes it worse, some meds make it worse, trial and error is the only way to deal with it. There is so much to wright about this subject that is to long, but I have so much information on this subject, maybe I could help, email me if you want. This is my first hub, so excuse my writing.
