Sleep study

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina: I think you aren't getting any rls mail because everybody is gone for

the holiday. Or almost everybody...I'm still here and so is Marleen. Couldn't

agree more regarding those expensive sleep studies. We KNOW what's wrong, what

we need to know is how to fix it. What a good guy your podiatrist is! That

was a real break and very resourceful of you I might say. It does amaze and

dismay me though to read about the quantity of medications being taken for the

rls condition as I read it on this e-line. I am amazed that anyone can tolerate

multiple dosages of three or four different medications in a single day

without uncomfortable side effects. At the same time I sure know the

discomfort and how when " the crawlies " come on you'd do just about anything to

get out of it. I gave up the half pill of Ultram three weeks ago. I do lots of

night walking now and grab my sleep when it (finally) comes. I don't have to

work so I can live with whatever sleep comes my way whenever it does. I think

my waking hours (what's left of them) are more productive and I am more mentally

alert without the Ultram which I count as a worthwhile tradeoff. So Tina,

that's my " semi-good news " .
