Restless Leg Syndrome

SimpleAlaskanBoy · 07-15-2011, 10:45 AM

Just reaching out to the community to see if anyone deals with this, or sleep disorder issues..I was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea back in ummmm April? The apnea comes and goes, but the restless leg syndrome is driving me crazy. I'm tired now, it's 12:40 in the afternoon and I haven't slept yet. Even now my legs feel all tingly and HAVE to move.
I was prescribed a CPAP machine, I've just been too busy with life to have home health over here to teach me how to use one. Plus I am rarely sleeping in the bedroom due to having no a/c in there.
I just want to know that I'm not alone, or maybe some tips to cope with the uncomfortable sensations as I am getting settled..most times I just flop around or kick or get up to rub my legs but that only helps for a little while.
Thanks for reading,
~SAB
