JayKay Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hello and welcome! Yes, we are the lucky ones I suffer mainly from short term memory lapses and fatigue, but 16 months in (tomorrow!) I'm beginning to get much, much better. I think I delayed my recovery by pushing myself too hard for aaaages. Like someone else said, I used to pride myself on being quite a clever clogs and not being quite as on the ball was a huge shock to me Anyway, there is a good NHS page about RLS. It explains how sometimes if you avoid the reasons behind the RLS you can do something about it. I get it when I'm really tired - overtired I suppose. When it's past my bedtime for example. It's been happening for years and is neither worse nor better since the SAH. As a medical secretary I am sure I've typed letters stating they give quinine sulfate for it - is that what you were offered? I don't know of the possible side-effects... I hope you find a solution to your problem as it must be really annoying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessie Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi Michael, A late reply from me, I haven't been here much... Sorry if the RLS advice shocked you But thought it was worth sharing. My husband's a Scot and although living here he's not all that easy talking about these things either.. so it's not the geogrpahy, but the culture I guess.. ( in fact he was shocked when I told him I sent you this link... LOL brits are very funny imho *waves* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
