Small World

[Guest guest]

Hi Jill, and the rest of you movers and shakers,

I cried when I read your response to my letter. It really touched me to know

that I was the first person that described your restless legs to you and led

you to find out more about it. That makes me happy. I had saved your letter

from a year ago and also all the other ones I got from the Senior Site. My

doctor (doctors) has read your letter. That letter has reached the Eastern

Shore of Delaware. The Delmarva Pennensular. Small World. When you can show

your doctor what others are saying on the same subject, they don't think you are

crazy. I have had soooooo many doctors to just brush it off.

Jill, I also went to your web page, It was very helpful. However the only thing

is.. I can't read a book for any length of time (no matter how interesting it

is) because of the restlesness legs. I have to quit. Also, I can't get

involved in anything so intently like a concert or anything , no matter how

interesting. Last Sunday night at our church, we had Steve and Annie Chapman

there to sing. They are my favorites, I had a front row seat, and I was

mezmorised seeing them in person. But I was soo miserable in my seat, I had to

get up and go to the back of the church and walk around. (they probably thought

I didn't like them) So, just trying to get it off my mind doesn't work for me.

When I was younger, It did, but the older I get, the worse and more often it's

THERE. And now it's THERE nearly ALL the time. Like I said in a previous letter

to this group If I had to be confined to a wheel chair, I would go insane,. It

would be like CLUSTROPHOBIA. I have to get up and move. I would choose to be

paralized (and not feel anything, Let the legs fly) than confined. I am serious.

I know how that sounds, but I am serious. I hope it doesn't get any worse for

you, or the rest of the group, but it did for me and still is daily. Sometimes

I just want to screem. As long as there is breath in me tho, I will keep

trying to find a doctor that can help me.

Thanks again for the uplift of letting me know I led you to the RLS Foundation

and eventually to this URL. It took me longer to find it than it did you. But

I'm so glad I did. It sure helps to know I'm not alone. So long to all, and

keep on trucking (walking). Looking forward to the next letters.
