Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 Hi, all! They gave me Phenergen after I had back surgery. I was kind of out of it with the morphine pump, which made me positively nauseated, so really, without me realizing it, they gave me a shot of good ol' Phenergen! Bad mistake. They,(and they includes anyone within earshot) got a crash course on RLS. A nurse said, " Oh is that what this means on your chart? " I'm amazed it made it to the chart! Anyway, I was nice about it, but I told them I would rather puke my guts out, than have another shot of Phenergen. " Well, we really can't let you do that. " Oh, yes, they did. Anyway, as far as food, I have done an elimination diet for my migraines, and surprise, a lot of the same foods that aggravate my migraines, aggravate the RLS! That would be the usual chocolate, alcohol,(especially red wine), caffiene. I generally try to stay away from sugar, which is kind of inconvenient, because aspartame definitely kicks off the migraines;don't know if it does the RLS , because it's been so long since I had a diet soda. I eat chicken or fish 2 or 3 times a week, and basically a vegetarian diet most of the time. I think I stopped eating the red meat when I found out I have hereditary high cholesterol, but I do think it has helped me overall; that one I am not sure on. LOL I am pretty sure ice cream, frozen yogurt, etc. causes my legs to go a little crazy. Again, the sugar! Later, Donna/Vt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
