Restless legs

[Kero]

Just wondering if anyone else is experienced restless legs? Particularly in a flare? I have noticed my pain getting a little worse the last few weeks, have also been dealing with extra restless legs. Took me almost 3 hours to fall asleep last night Decided to take a walk today to pick up my kid, hoping some exercise my help

Yes, I have it and I think Grace does. We use magnesium, zinc and calcium vitamins.
BUT Grace has her levels checked every few months to tell us how to supplement. Her doc heads that part up.

Have you had your vitamins levels check recently.

I had bloodwork done, not sure if they checked my vitamins or not. I will have to mention it to my doctor, see what she says, thank you

I think I may have had something like that for years now, but always attributed it to anxiety or excess energy rather than my flares. (Especially since I have it despite being in remission.) It interferes with my sleep almost every night though. The only thing that really helps me is taking sleep medication to help sedate me, but that never feels very good and I build up tolerances so fast.

Do you happen to take any pain meds before bed? I have had prescriptions for both morphine and dilaudid and both give me restless legs.

Hey Jenna, I do have RX's for pain meds, but they are the same ones I have been taking for months, never had an issue before. Just been recent, last 3 weeks or so, and pain has been getting a little bit worse. Just wish the biopsy results from my scope would come back already

When I first started taking them it didn't bother me either. I was on Dilaudidfor almost a year dealing with a kidney stone (iit was rather large and needed to be surgically removed). Most recently I started back on some Dilaudid after surgery. When I was on IV Dilaudid I would have like full body twitches in hospital, I actually punch myself in the stomach twice! I don't know if there's any relation but it's hard to not think there isn't. I was taking 3mg if Dilaudid when I do take them. And if I take morphine I take 10mg.
