RLS (Restless leg Syndrome) -the beginning

I basically am starting this blog just for myself so I can keep track of these crazy very annoying symptoms I am having. If anyone else happens to read and wants to comment that's cool. I'm not a professional blogger though. This is actually the first time I have ever blogged so it will probably be super lame . Anyway here goes nothing. I started having these RLS ( restless leg syndrome) symptoms about 2 months ago. I didn't even know what it was. At first it started out as occasional numbness in my thighs, legs, feet, hands, etc. you know like when your foot falls asleep. I figured it was pretty normal. Next I started to notice an occasional twitch here and there. It only happened when I was tired, lying down watching tv or trying to sleep. All of a sudden my foot or leg would twitch. I was like WTF!! Yeah I thought it was weird but it only happened a few times and not often so I was like whatever. Okay, we'll after a couple weeks the twitching progressed. It was doing it more often and I noticed my arms did it and even my stomach. It was like a big fast jerk! Uncontrollable, I didn't even know it was going to happen until it was over. Well, I mentioned it to my doctor ( not my doctor, because my doctor is MIA, not literally but he left so I had to see some random doctor, but that's another story I'll get into at a later time) and the doctor said it was RLS. I didn't even know you could have RLS in your arms but apparently so. She didn't seem worried and didn't say anything about it other then "oh sounds like restless leg syndrome, blah blah blah, yes you have RLS" it wasn't bothering me at the time so I didn't care. I just mentioned it b/c I wanted to make sure it wasn't anything important. Okay well since then things have gotten even worse! I did have a break with no symptoms but thinking back I think it's while I was taking my tramadol for pain. Hopefully these blogs will help me figure all that out as well. Anyway I've been getting these insane, crazy, weird, horrible, hard to describe feelings in my arms. It feels like a bunch of stored energy that needs to come out but can't. Like a HUGE twitch that can't twitch but if it would twitch or could twitch and did twitch then everything would be fine. Wow, that was a tongue twister!  The twitches don't bother me at all but this crap, OMGosh it's horrid! I actually cried last night it was so bad. I wonder why most people have problems with their legs and mine is mainly my arms? Well when the twitching happens it's mainly my legs but this annoying feeling that I can't stand is in my arms. I also wonder if this is the feeling people describe as creepy crawly. Well, I guess that about sums this first blog up. Yeah pretty boring huh? Like I said it's basically just for me, myself and I, but if you happen to stumble across it then I don't mind if you read or share your thoughts. If I can't sleep I may start another blog tonight. I've been just typing stuff in the notepad in my phone but I think I will like this much better. Here's to hoping I can sleep and my arms stop hurting . RLS sucks, by the way!
