What About Restless Leg Syndrome?

What About Restless Leg Syndrome?
Restless Legs Syndrome is a neurological/ sleep disorder that causes an overwhelming urge to move one’s legs while sleeping that is often accompanied with uncomfortable sensations like crawling, tingling, or pulling. This urge is temporarily relieved by movements like walking, stretching, but symptoms tend to worsen at night or during inactivity, which can lead to issues like sleep problems, daytime fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Last but not least, some interesting facts about Restless Leg Syndrome is that it is common, affects more women, and involves brain dopamine pathways. Oh and the most common treatments for Restless Leg Syndrome include medications and lifestyle changes.

All About Sleep Disorders Based Off Of AI
A sleep disorder is a condition that disrupts the normal quality, timing, or amount of sleep, leading to problems with daily functioning and overall health. Common examples include insomnia (difficulty sleeping), obstructive sleep apnea (breathing interruptions during sleep), narcolepsy(excessive daytime sleepiness), restless legs syndrome (an urge to move the legs at night), and parasomnias (unwanted events during sleep, such as sleepwalking.) They can be diagnosed through sleep study and treated with medication, health habits, and psychotherapy. I have been through this process before and it really works.

Stealing sleep

I have to steal sleep sometimes because my pain won't let me sleep "when I'm supposed to". I'm definitely over it, of dealing with all the health conditions I have but onward I will always go. It is just one of those nights where I didn't sleep. Now it's morning and eventually I'll knock out. Until then, my body is driving me nuts with multiple types of pains in multiple spots on/in my body. Starting with a bad headache all the way to my legs suffering a minor RLS flare and my foot having strong nerve pains,.etc.a flare up from an old injury. When I have multiple pains and when they're a certain level or higher, it prevents me from sleeping...even being still in bed. I can't stop moving and twitching and trying to be restful but I am restless. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 #RestlessLegsSyndrome #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #ChronicPain #nothingtohelpthepain #handlingitsolo #nobueno #Painsomnia

My arms hurt as if they had restless legs syndrome except... Ya know... Arms. I usually get it bad at night around bedtime but I think I've used pregabalin 3x this year so far. This is the 2nd day I've had it. I usually take a pregabalin when this happens.
I have only eaten 2 hot dogs and a poptart. Pauley just put my pizza in the oven. I'm so hungry.
The gummies aren't perfect but to play devil's spoopy booboo kitty fuck, I took 5.
In other news I am very alert focused and fully committed to my depression. I like to think depressed Nox is the understudy trying to get lost in method acting.
I'm so glad I found new music this week. I'm obsessed with Spencer Sutherlands 70s aesthetic and overall vibe. But even more than my love for him is my fangirl obsession with Marcin the guitarist. He was on a competition show in America when he was 18. He's absolutely amazing. He combines percussion and strumming seamlessly. And he's fricking adorable. His hands are mmmmmmm and his nails are enviable. Seriously, go check him out. Thank me later.
