TO PAULA C. / FLEXORIL

July 23, 2004

Thanks a,

I will ask my doctor about Flexoril.......I think I have taken it before....isn't it a muscle relaxer? ......I had to take it for a while when I pulled a muscle in my back. I can't remember that I had a rash from it, but The Rheumy that I had at the time would not refill it .....don't remember why.....She was the one I fired, and filed a complaint with my insurance Co. because she would never return my calls when I needed her.

Re: MEDICATIONS FOR RESTLESS LEGS?

I would like some input on your experiences with medications for Restless Legs.....I am devistated that I won't be able to keep taking this medication....I have been able to sleep for the first time in years !!

I have had terrible problems with restless legs in the past but as soon as my DR put me on flexeril at night I have not had a problem at all. Lots of people have taken this med and it seems that while it works great for some, it is not so hot for others. I never realised how bad it was with my legs until I started taking it and the pain was gone. I sure do hope they find another med for you soon that works.

I never heard of " restless legs " until sleeping in the same bed with

my husband (that's why we don't sleep in the same room anymore). Now I

have seemed to come down with that. I can't find the right position

for my legs (they can't touch ANYTHING). It takes me about an hour

moving my legs back and forth until I finally stop and go to sleep. Is

this part of the " restless legs " ? I'd like to ask my dr. about this

Flexoril too...is it a muscle relaxer? I'd like to know too. I'm on

Tramadol (100 mg. each night) right now...is this Flexoril in the same

catergory?

Blessings,

In Cali
