Diane/Connie Restless Body

[Guest guest]

Diane,

I can relate to your misery so much. There is nothing like being up so long

at night with this awful nerve-twitching feeling grabbing at you and grinding

away inside your body.

I have had many nights like this where I stood at the keyboard and wrote of my

anguish to the group. Somehow, it does something for some of us to tell

someone about it....particularly someone who will understand.

When you feel so wierd and can't stand still, a trip to the fridge is always

comforting.....lol........after all, if you had dinner at 6 and been up for 8

or 9 hours since, it's time for another meal!!

I wish I could tell you how to stop this, but I can't. My only advice is to

get up as soon as you feel the attack coming on. You have a much better

chance of stopping it then. After that, just try to have some things lined up

that you really do enjoy doing, so that they will hold your attention for a

while. I have been fortunate enough to be able to get on line most times this

happens, and can surf around for interesting thing to see or do. Other times,

I just give in and take medication that I know will help me

Don't understand about the hot water........I can't see where a little tea

would hurt you........not a lot of sugar in it, but a little milk or creamer

would be good.........I suppose almost any warm drink is soothing, but not

plain hot water...........not for me anyway........:-)

I hope you have a good night tonight........that's the rule around here, you

know......you can't have two real bad nights in a row.........now remember

that everybody............

Connie
