I need to go do something sinful to blow off frustration.

It sucks, I can feel for you Thena.
I feel as though my restless legs are probably related to iron-deficient anemia, insomnia and pounding energy drinks all day.
Hopefully not nerve damage.
What do you take for the nerve pain?
I have RLS as well. It is SUCH a pain. I have noticed that the times in my life when I was anemic the RLS was worse. Maybe check with your doc?

Meh..I prefer seeing my doc as little as possible. I just can't stand it.
I've been freezing my ass off, and tired all the time as well; It probably is recurring anemia. Especially since the last check of my blood levels were in the lowest-normal range. Lowest-normal's been as good as it gets for past few years, so I'm just going to start back on the iron supplements.
If I don't see an improvement within a month or so, I'll drag myself to the doctor.

So far my primary care doc hasn't been interested in prescribing anything other than a alpha lipoic acid to control inflammation. I self-medicate with Tramadol, which is not all that effective. (Before you ask, gabapentin/neurontin and Lyrica were ineffective.)

Ex problems. Luckily, he's the ex. So he stays over there where he can't poison everything

Pounding energy drinks all day Thena? Can relate. It makes my legs jiggle (especially my left leg for whatever reason) like a hyperactive fucker all night and when I finally wake up my leg hurts like crap all over.
It may not be the energy drinks but if you're pounding them all day I think they're at the very least certainly not helping.

Feeling so proud of this thread. I feel like it's a place of emotional self expression and venting and it seems to help bring people together.
If I did one good thing only on my years on AF (other than ban some spammers), it's creating this thread.

Zoinks.
I'm sorry your pain's not being addressed.
That's f*cking terrible.
