Restless Legs - Ever heard of it ??

If you have never heard of Restless Legs Syndrome - It sucks. Usually your Legs, or sometimes Arms - maybe Both, Will uncontollably have this urge to Jitter or Twitch.
What really sucks about it is, It usually happens when you're trying to sleep. Ur so tired, and u really need to get some sleep - but your body keeps you awake.
A lot of people take Meds like Valium or Xanax to help - but what sometimes, It just adds More misery if those Meds dont work. They'll usually just make you More tired and u still cant sleep due to ur legs jumping around in bed.!! Errr - its miserable.

Any of u experience that ? ?

I've never had such an experience, but I first heard of that on a commercial :P

like Carlos Mencia said about that kind of thing

GET UP from you @** and go exercise

I'm pretty sure every cricket has it.

I'm sorry, I rarely ever get to use that family guy reference.

It doesn't happen to me a whole lot, but every once in awhile my leg or arm will spasm when I'm in bed. I don't think it's quite what you're describing though. that sounds really annoying and disruptive.

Also some people feel more of a creepy crawly bug on their leg. Or some other sort of feeling.

[QUOTE="mattpunkgd"] I don't think so. It's more of a feeling. Like mine feels like all my right leg muscles are tightening up and contracting. And it does not feel good. So I flex my leg muscles over and over or rub my leg. Which usually make me move my leg.

watch the Mind Of Mencia ;)

its a syndrome they made up to sell a drug that happens to work on it. they were researching a cure for cancer but found out all it does is make it hard to move your arms and legs so they came up with the syndrome to market it against.comp_atkins

i never heard of it before.

I get it whenever i take too much Benadryl.

now before you jump to conclusions let me clarify.

about once a month for a couple days, i get this huge allergy attack, where i sneeze, and have a runny nose all day, itchy eyes, the works. nothing really helps me, i tried Zyrtec, singulair, etc. to no avail.

so what ive found that helps it be more tolerable is taking Benadryl. I dont over do it. i take 3 or 4 every 5 or so hours, instead of 2(2 does absolutely nothing). by the end of the day, the benadryl has built up in my system and i end up with restless legs and cant sleep. i hate it.

I get that sometimes I think. My legs just feel very jittery and like the blood is rushing through them. I usually just stretch them out real good and that'll alleviate the uncomfortableness for awhile. I can probably attribute my problems to being lazy :P

I had it a few months ago. It really sucked

I constantly need to keep my legs moving or crossed or up on my seat. I cant sit still for long.

My girlfriend's mom has it really bad. Keeps her up at night. She told me that the only way to really get rid of it is to pull her legs up, like your sitting indian style, but while laying down, and keep them pressed up against her. Has to really suck, she wakes up like every 2-3 hours because of it.

Not that i know of..

yes :x the only way i can get rid of it is to stretch my legs out really hard, but as soon as you relax again it comes back, if you try to resist stretching or moving it just gets worse and worse :(.

I don't know,although my legs hurt if I try to sleep.I need to constantly switch positions but it starts hurting again everytime.I've been having this for over 5 years.

Maybe it is restless legs syndrome.
