Re: My bad evening

[Guest guest]

Connie, Thanks for Eve's letter. She sounds so upbeat! I'm glad

for her. It was great that she was able to go to her daughters'

concert.....and that everything was ok.

Hopefully by the end of the month Eve will be better equiped to handle

the stressors which bring on her attacks. Because, after all, these

stressors are not going anywhere. They are going to be with us for

our lives so we might as well learn how to handle them!

My RLS kicked into high gear tonight. We moved some furniture to my

sister's and took the 2 hour each way trip in hubby's work van.

First claustrophobia set in then Look Out! the leg started up! I had

my shoe off and was jabbing the bottom of my foot with a closed ink

pen. I needed to be driving so I wouldn't notice the closed in leg

area in his 1 ton work utility van......but I have never driven it

before.

I made it to town WV and then had to walk all around her

apartment bldg for a while before I could get back into that van for

the ride home. That set the foot off big time too! I tried to fall

asleep but no way was RLS going to let me sleep. I'm sitting here now

for the past half hour with the Thumper on the sole of my foot -

second level so I am going to pay for it tomorrow with a sore ball of

the foot! But, that's the only way I'll be agle to sleep tonight.

Hope you are doing ok tonight. I don't post much but I am worried

about all of us on the list because I've also had thoughts of cutting

the foot off, beating it with a hammer, all sorts of nutty things and

I know that if it is as bad as mine, you all feel the same way.

Sleep restful and well,

Tina
