Hello! Which sleeping pill is stronger, Belsomra or Rozerem? I take 2 tablets of Belsomra at night for 20 mg plus 2 tablets of Donormil. Should I try Rozerem?
At night when I try to go to bed my leg gets real restless .. I'm not sure how to describe how it feels .. Not like painful but more annoying than anything?
Has anyone else experienced this when they trying to sleep and if so, what did you do to try to get it to go away?
I got some restless leg at night and it is really hard on me. There is no cure but everyone says it goes away after baby arrives.
As for mucus plug, I lost mine around 37 weeks but went to 40 weeks despie baby being nice and low at 35 weeks already. There is no hard science between losing plug and labor. You are sooo close to your due date though!!!
Hi, welcome to the forum, the causes of Restless leg syndrome are peripheral neuropathies, vitamin and minerals deficiencies, lumbosacral radiculopathy, spinal stenosis, excess caffeine intake, hypoglycemia, and hypothyroidism.
You need to undergo spinal radio imaging, blood sugar and thyroid status to rule out the cause.
Pertaining to this I suggest you to consult a neurologist to rule out the cause and treatment accordingly. You may have to take vitamin B-complex supplementation.
My 6 1/2 year old girl has quite a patch of longer, darker axillary hair. Doesn't have pubic hair or breast development... She has always been tall for her age--but both parents are too (5'10" & 6'3"). I didn't really link this until reading up a bit, but she started having strong sweat odor at about 5 y.o. She also has a sleep disorder that we finally saw a pediatric sleep specialist for-- now she uses a blue spectrum light every morning.
is it a Charlie horse cramp or more the restless legs feeling...
Your not drinking enough water, & also stretch the leg/legs that are bothering you.
Thank you for your feedback. We would also love it if doctors would give out MedHelp's URL to their patients to help track symptoms. Then their patients could just click Email This on their trackers and send it to their doctors for review.
We could easily add Restless Legs as a symptom and Mirapex as a treatment to the Sleep Tracker. Would that work for you?
I am a 39 year old male that has suffered for years with restless legs, leg/joint pain, both of which have caused many sleepless nights. The pain is more noticeable during weather changes (doesn't matter if its warm to cold or cold to warm). My legs twitch almost constantly and is very noticeable especially when sleeping, I have been told i have had my legs have spasmed to my chest. I have also had multiple arthroscopic knee surgeries due to a parachuting accident when i was younger.
