Hey guys, for the 3rd time tonight I am trying to figure out how to use this

darn new ISP I'm on. I was using AOL and it was much easier as far as I'm

concern. There's like 3 different steps I need to use to send mail that's 2 too

many (LOL) especially when I'm tired. Anyway here goes. First I want to say I

have been away from the chat grou for a while and back on for a couple of weeks.

I really missed hearing from all of you. I couldn't wait to get back on. By

the way this is Kathy 52yrs. from Cambridge. I wanted to add to 's message

that another herb I found/find useful is Valerian Root, I take 2 at bedtime and

sometimes take it during the day if necessary. I have not had a probel with it

as far as drowsiness goes. It's just been a good relaxant for me. I too have

found Calcium and Magnesium helpful which I take in combination with Zinc for

the same reasons. I also take Vit. E and Primrose Oil along with varied other

relaxing type herbs as well as regular vitamins. I am now having to take

prescription meds because my RLS/PLMD has gotten much worse but I still take the

others as well. I also wanted to say that as far as the foot movement goes I

understand what you all are talking about. I had it at first in what seemed to

me just my toes and now it is my whole foot. Sometimes involving my ankles as

well, it is both feet. Sometimes my ankles are killing in the morning. I'm

sorry I made this so lengthy and I do hope people get to read this to find out

if I did it right. Also, have to let everyone know I am startind a support

group for RLSers in my area (Boston). The first group is this coming Saturday

and I am scared to death that I'm actually going to be leading a group but also

very excited. Good night and sleep well all. Connie just felt awful when I

read your note the other night. Could totally empathize w/you. Been there done

that. Hope your feeling and sleeping better by now. Kathy
