RLS: we're not so bad

[Guest guest]

I should be committed!!! I've lost it!

I think I've jumped off the deep end. Wait until you hear what I just

did!

FIRST....I blew it and had a huge diet pepsi and two refills at dinner

time. DUH...wonder why I'm NOT sleeping at 2a.m.? I know better. I

actually layed there in bed for 30 minutes with no RLS...but when I was

still wide awake after a half hour, I think the RLS said, " Okay, that's

it...you've had your chance! If you're not going to go to sleep than

it's creepy crawly time. " Ya know...it's like that thing parents used

to say, " Oh yea, ya think ya wanna cry? Well I'll GIVE you something

to cry about. " LOL

But..that's not why I'm writing. I'm writing because I just did

something I hope I don't regret. I just joined an email support group

for stroke victims and their caregivers. OY!!! Their homepage said

they average 75-150 letters every day! Needless-to-say, I asked for

the Digest Version. Maybe I'll just lurk and never respond. Ya think?

They actually warn people on the sign-up page that it will be a TON of

emails and that many people unsubscribe because it's too much to deal

with. In fact, they say that if you are the full time caregiver of a

stroke victim, you probably shouldn't do the support group because your

time is precious and you'll never get to all the emails. Imagine that!

The support group can become more of a drain, than a support?

Hmmmmmmm......

Anyhow....I've decided we're not so bad in the RLS group. We're still

averaging about 20 letters a day....so cheer up and sleep well, Folks.
