June-

Thanks for the nice note of welcome. It was great when I found this list. My

PCP, still gives me a funny look when I mention the RLS to him. It was the

rheumy, that finally confirmed what it was. Well, the Jelly Beans worked for

two nites... and last nite I was up all nite. Hate that! I even ate a half bag

of 'em, maybe it was sugar overload. OR washing dishes in the bathtub. Hate

that too! Seems the drain pipe busted and now they've got to excavate the

kitchen floor, after they remove the kitchen cabinets/counter, and they may

have to dig all the way into my daughter's bedroom to find where the break is.

Clearly a long term, major overhaul. I live in an apt. building with no

basement. Maybe last nite was more stress than jelly beans. I have the RLS all

over my body. It gets so bad, when I do sleep, I wake up because I'm

contracting all the muscles in my body, esp. my abdomen. This, of course, does

wonders for the Fibro and the suspected Ehler-Danlos or Scleroderma... they

don't know which yet. BUT I forced two hyacinth bulbs in my living room and

the aroma is SPRING. It's beautiful. When, I start thinking about the kitchen

and the lack of sleep, I go take a whif and remember the beautiful garden I

used to have.

Enjoy all....let's dream of nice things while fully awake

Steph,

So sorry the jellybeans failed last night - I notice some sugar does the

trick, but too much has the reverse effect. Possibly the stress of

having to have a major portion of your home torn up to fix a stopped up

pipe is a contributing factor! What a good idea to have the fresh tulips

in your living room - aroma therapy, for sure. It must be hard adjusting

to apartment living after having your own home and garden. Sounds like

you have a wonderful sense of humor - the best medicine, to quote Readers

Digest. Hope you continue to write. BTW, Jill's Tension Tamer Tea is

wonderful - even better than sugar - only drawback is that it

precipitates a potty call soon after, which of course wakes me up again.
