Ok so I have been having "episodes" during the day with blackouts, so one of the solutions that Buck has implemented until my bloodwork comes back next week is to take me off Requip. Now mind you, without that drug at night for Restless Leg Syndrome...I practically look like one of those people who has a SERIOUS case of Tourette Syndrome, minus the cussing and foul language. I actually laid down in bed around 8:45p.m. (yes i go to bed the same time as normal 70+ year olds) and by 10:30pm...I was seriously looking for a body of water to jump in and save myself since I was flopping around in the bed like a fish out of water. Now if you or anyone you know has RLS (restless leg syndrome), you will know that it is pure TORTURE to try and go to sleep. I think I gave Buck 3 or 4 charlie horses in the thighs, a black eye (just kidding) and Howard several kicks to the butt, before finally falling asleep somewhere around 2:00 am. I just hope to GOD they will put a rush emergency on my bloodwork because if it comes back that this Requip has been making me have my "episodes" then I'm calling the doctor for a double aputation of my legs!!!
