re permax and to all the women with RLS

January 23, 1999

Bill and others

I too was on Permax and I had a stuffy nose too, it also

made me very sick to my stomach. I switched to Mirapex and

have not had the stuffy nose or nausea. I dont know about

the rls part yet, have not been on it very long.

Hang in there, for everybody different medicines work, dont

work etc etc etc

I feel as if I could open up a drug store for RLS

sufferers! My cupboard is full!

Now onto a more controversial issue, this is for the females

of the group. I emailed Jill privately today and Rls and

our monthly cycles and she " encouraged " me to post it to the

group. Yes Jill I am holding you responsible (Just

kidding) I guess this discussion took place before I knew

about this group, so I am firing it up again. I have

noticed a definite cycle for my Rls. It gets much worse

after I ovulate, and when I was pregnant look out I think I

kicked more than the baby did. The drs here in Des Moines

state that I am crazy and that noone else has stated that.

Do any of you women experience the same thing? Have any of

you tried to relate it to your cycle. I know that menopause

does not hold out any hope for me because RLS gets worse as

you get older (oh joy!)

So women fire away I am anxious to hear your response. If

you dont want to post it openly I dont blame you, this took

alot of courage (thanks to Jill) you can email me

privately. I go back to my neuro in 2 weeks (the one who

thinks my theory is crazy) and I would love some unofficial

results

thanks
