Direct from the RLS Foundation, here are a few tips for
living with RLS:
-Talk about RLS, share information with family and friends
-Don't fight it. Don't suppress the urge to move. Get out of bed
and find an activity that will get your mind off RLS.
-Keep a sleep diary ( I am just starting mine)
-Occupy your mind with something else and this may
ease the symptoms.
-Rise to new levels. Elevate your computer so you have to
stand
-Stretch out. Start your day and end your day with a gentle
massage.
-Help others, join a support group or discussion. Or write to me
c/o blog4change about your experience with RLS
-or simply go on line at
www.rls.org/join and become
a member of the Restless Leg Foundation. Annual rates only
$30 for U.S. and Canada.
Most of all, realize ongoing research will one day find a cure....
Good luck to all of you (who like myself) do suffer from RLS
and often do not get enough sleep. If we all pull together we
can get through this.....
