Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Hello everyone, I have been on Naltrexone for two months now, 4.5 dose, and it has completely stopped my twitching legs. Some people call it " restless legs " as it happens when I am tired, afternoon or bedtime - worse when I have walked or done heavy exercise. It is extremely uncomfortable, can last for hours, and it is as if the legs are buzzing or " singing " deep inside. Anyway this has gone on for years (I have a mild 20 year case of relapsing/remitting MS) and the Naltrexone has really worked for this. It is SO good to go to bed at night after all these years, and just go to sleep without all the buzzing and twitching. What a relief! This relief actually happened after about three nights of taking Naltrexone. I started on the 4.5 and the first two nights were sort of nervous or jittery, then I relaxed. Another thing - do read Pageler's web site: infoonms.bizland.com as he has good MS nutritional support information. Another inspiring MS person is Celeste Pepe and her book " Reversing Multiple Sclerosis " . Naltrexone is not the only thing we can do to help ourselves. We must be very pro-active (but not suckers due to our desperation). Common sense, careful nutrition, exercise and an attitude of gratitude play an important role in halting disease progression. If you already know all this, forgive my going on. I just wish you all the best. Never give up. Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 THanks for the information. The book on Reversing Multiple Sclerosis sounds interesting! Proper nutrition and supplements, I know, are important . I've really tried to cut back on sugar, breads and pasta. I got a cookbook with low carb recipes and some of the things I've tried have actually turned out to be fairly decent.. I've started using Splenda instead of Aspertame - I wish I had realized the dangers of Aspertame long before I did. When I think of all the diet cokes I've had over the years!!!! And for me, even though I know some of this valuable information, it is so helpful to hear it over and over again to keep me from slipping back into bad habits. -----Original Message-----From: lesleyliddle [mailto:lal@...]Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 12:30 AMlow dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] singing legsHello everyone,I have been on Naltrexone for two months now, 4.5 dose, and it has completely stopped my twitching legs.
