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 to take it at work until I get to the hotel at night because I was about passing out on the passengers.
I read how the Mangosteen juice has been shown to help with Restless Leg Syndrome, so I bought osme immediately. It took a few days but sure enough I went from needing the RLS medicine sometimes as early as 4pm to as late as midnight. (I never got up the nerve to skip it and hope that I didn't wake up jumping like a fish.)
Well, I was just at work for four days without the "stuff" (my juice) and I have something to report. It didn't register until this morning about half an hour ago when my right leg started to rev up. Two nights ago, I needed to take the Requip at about 10:30pm, last night at 8:30pm and this morning, 10:00am! I am off all week so I will get back on the program and let you know if it was a coincidence but that's pretty strange. Don't you think???
