Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 It sure does ka! My Rheumatoligist did start me on something different (for the rls), I think it is helping but only been a week, so the verdict is still out. It is Requip, have you tried it?Peggyb> >> > > > Do any of the rest of you have RLS? Do you think it goes with FMS? I > have both, and it seems to me that one feeds off the other.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 : You feel that way because the medical practitioners allow you to feel that way. They can't figure out what is going on so it MUST all be in your head right? You want attention, right? I am currently looking far and wide for the right doctor for myself. I plan to be blunt and say that I don't intend to waste their time, as it's only a waste of mine if they aren't going to help me pursue ways to better my lifestyle. I think my "moment" of clarity was last week, when I told my boss that I am done trying to find out WHY I hurt. I am now focusing on the fact that I DO hurt and want to find ways that I can help myself. I felt like a hypochondriac in the doctors office because there was no easy answer. Hang in there. By the way, I have had RLS as long as I can remember...and I am only 32!! Liz wrote: What exaclty is RLS my step mom has it but I've never really felt comfy asking her about.. I've wondered if I have it because I know that I can not lay still at night and I have been told since I was a child that I kick all night long plus I can not set in one position for very long? It just have an overwhelming need to move.. I never really thought to much about it till I had heard the of RLS? But sometimes I fell like maybe I have just think I have something because I have heard of it? One of my biggest fears Is being a hypochondriac lol -- Re: FMS/RLS peggy1993 wrote: Do any of the rest of you have RLS? Do you think it goes with FMS?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi Peggy: I was diagnosed with the RLS first, then Fibromyalgia after many blood tests and everything else was ruled out. I take Carbidopa/Levidopa for the RLS and Cymbalta for the Fibro right now. Hugs, FMS/RLS Do any of the rest of you have RLS? Do you think it goes with FMS? I have both, and it seems to me that one feeds off the other. Just wondering about the rest of you guys.Peggyb No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free Edition.Version: 7.1.371 / Virus Database: 267.14.16/225 - Release Date: 1/9/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 RLS is the urge to move your legs and when it gets bad, your legs will move and jerk on their own. It's hard to sit in one position for very long. The first time I had it I was terrified because I didn't know what was going on. My legs were always feeling so strange at night when I would try to sleep. That is one of the symptoms of Fibro. Hugs, Re: FMS/RLS peggy1993 wrote: Do any of the rest of you have RLS?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi , I have never tried or heard of Cymbalta for the fibro. Does it help the fibro much? I will have to remember to ask my Rheumy about it when I see her again. **Hugs** Peggy Re: FMS/RLS Hi Peggy: I was diagnosed with the RLS first, then Fibromyalgia after many blood tests and everything else was ruled out.

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better.3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor.5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.Have a nice day everyone.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi Peggy: Cymbalta is an anti-depressant but is also used for Chronic pain. It helps to take the edge off, but it isn't a cure-all. Hugs, FMS/RLS Do any of the rest of you have RLS? Do you think it goes with FMS? I have both, and it seems to me that one feeds off the other.
