rls and bar of soap


I find however that the week before my period is torture. How can that bar of soap in my bed. I called and was once again dismissed by the nurse. Needless to say I didnt go back to taking.

My husband is taking Klonopin and he says I should try Klonopin for sleep,instead of the Lunesta. I was certainly very skeptical about the results of placing the Ivory soap between the mattress and bottom fitted sheet. First night we tried the only bar of soap had been there for six months, so I replaced it. I am loath to increase the dosages indefinitely, especially as one feels like a zombie the next day. I am now back to suffering with pain and no sleep. I am seeing another doctor next week for a consult. Thats not the way I understnd RLS. The only problem is that'some people fall asleep during the day. The cast didnt help, and my RLS seems to have mutated into a monster at that time. I will, however, try putting soap under the sheet.

I have some of the Lidocaine patches too, if I ever have to do any more walking than usual. Last night the cramps were terrible. The cost is far less than a week my leg cramps stopped. Even now, after having been sitting up for an hour, it is still happening. I use two bars under the bottom sheet. After I explained to her what was going on with me herreaction . I still have the unfilled prescription sitting on my bathroom vanity. I have only had this problem for the past two months I have beenunable to sleep.

I have several herniated disc bulges and Fibromyalgia and my legs hurt all the time. The first Doctor I saw diagnosed me,threw a scrip for Sinemet at me and sent me packing. I think its worth the good night of sleep I . One told me to try quinine water before beddidnt do much. Then I got to thinking, it worked before, so why not . That bar of soap in the house which was irish spring. We took them back to the Pharmacist and he said quotCant help youquot. I just turned 50, am in great health except for being overweight. It doesnt matter what kind of soap, or how big.
