Guest guest Posted March 19, 1999 Report Share Posted March 19, 1999 Cindy: I too have RLS in my arms. When I have a bad attack, the crawly sensation moves up into my forearms, so I not only shake both legs, but both arms, not necessarily at the same time either. It's quite the sight when it gets that bad. Also, if I have progressed to that point, I get a tingling feeling in my chest. Until the medicine kicks in there is no way I can even sit down. I haven't heard of too many people with it in their arms. I guess we're just lucky. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to stop the attack from progressing to that point, but as everyone else, I keep on working on it.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 1999 Report Share Posted March 21, 1999 I get it in my arms too and now I'm being bothered by a tickley feeling in my upper back right where a clothing label usually is only I get the feeling without the label. Feels like a fly or an ant walking around in circles. It stops when I reach back and rub but that doesn't end it. What else!! First my legs, then arms, now my back. Oi!! Cheers!

Guest guest Posted March 21, 1999 Report Share Posted March 21, 1999 Dear Jeanne & Mr.. Biggles! Hi Jeanne. (I LOVE that dog's name!) Yep, I know what you're talking about...but mine is in the center of my spine - right about where a bra clasp hits. I've also got a spot under my left " wing " and that one really drives me nuts sometimes. How strange this insidious disease is.....it takes so many forms, it causes so many weird feelings, it makes so many people miserable- with no end in sight... Again my Mirapex does do wonders but it is always right there, lurking, has its finger pressed to the doorbell for me to let it in...I am always " on guard " and tensed up so as not to give it a chance to start. As you stated so simply but eloquently, " Oi!! " Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 22, 1999 Report Share Posted March 22, 1999 Diane: A hot shower on the affected areas will kill the symptoms for awhile. Long enough for your meds to kick in.

NEW - homepage URL http://www.frontiernet.net/~goviers updated 3/21/99. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a cat. The total sum of the world's IQ is constant. If the population is increasing, then intelligence is ... A little village of Trids (like Smurfs only green) had built their water well on the top of a hill. An evil troll took over the hill and wouldn't let the Trids get any water. Every Trid that went up the hill was kicked down by the troll. Frustrated, the Trids asked the local Rabbi for help. He climbed the hill and got the water with any trouble from the troll. When he went back up the hill he asked the troll why he had not kicked him down the hill. The troll replied, " Silly rabbi, kicks are for Trids. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
