FW: RE: [QUAD-L] Restless Leg Syndrom

[William Willis]

I have that very same experience with those drugs. I'm groggy as a drunk 
rooster at this very moment (1:30 pm) because I took a single baclofen 
before bed last night. It seems to help the spasms a bit, but the 
side-effects are just too deadening.

I get NO spasm relief from baclofen or vallium - I simply sleep thru all 
kicking - so says wifey.  In the daytime I can hardly stay awake under the 
two aforementioned downers.   I see that the web page says Mirapex can be 
used in conjunction  with other drugs but - - BE SURE TO CHK THIS WITH YOUR 
DOC.

Do you take this on top of other spasm meds.  I already take baclofen and 
dantrium.

While waiting for my neuro the other day (making sure he and I are on the 
same page for when SSDI calls) I saw a flier about RLS.  It described leg 
twitching and jerking after one goes to bed.  My neuro offered a few 
different sample drugs for RLS saying he doubted they would have any effect 
but he said, "what the hell?"  He's an older guy and I really like him - 
he's willing to try anything under close supervision.  He admits he doesn't 
know all the answers.  The 1st time he saw me he walked backwards down the 
hall watching me push my manual chair - and then did a few tuning fork 
touch tests before he said, "it's easy to see that the only thing keeping 
you going is your will power.  For my money, you are completely disabled 
and can't work a 40 hour a week job."  (My get-out-of-jail-free card.)   
The 1st one he gave me is Mirapex 0.25 mg, and it seems to work GREAT!!.   
My legs are ! VERY quiet at night now and even less jumpy during the 
daytime.   This drug evidently increa!
 ses
 dopamine in the brain which affects random excess motor neural activity.

I am REALLY happy with Mirapex and thought maybe any of you with similar 
symptoms might like to give it a try.
