Re: restless leg/Judy

[Guest guest]

Hi Judy,

I haven't had a sleep study,, yet. but my hubby who

has epilepsy says i need to request one.

I was sitting next to him on Sat. and he counted full

body jerks in eccess of 40 times in one minute.

Sat. was the worse in all of the body jerking ,evil

wrecking ,painfull nights.

with skelaxton, flexiril,pain meds, and night Lyrica

and Ambien CR was watching the ole show " Flipper " at

0300am . (no really i did this).. lol

I told my physcial therapist today and she said i

need to tell the doctor, immediatly. I told her I see

a spine specialist Friday for the disk dengernation at

C6-7.

I jerk and twitch and crawl. geezzz sounds like the

ole movie the " The Blob " .

hang in there Honey child cause you and i must be

going down the same road on time frames. I was

diagnosed in December too with the Fibro.

I just had to admit to the hubby , yesss i have been

dating doctors.
