The commercials for restless leg are almost comical. Unless you have it, there is no putting it into the right words. Sometimes it feels as if there is a tight vise just below the knee area and it is slowly being slid down my calf to my ankle. If you try not to move your legs or shake them, you're entire body will tremble so it is impossible not to shake them.
I think it is a bit different for everyone depending on the severity. Mine is severe and only gets worse with age.
The deep bone pain you mentioned is definitely there and at times it feels as if the bones are being crushed.
So there are different levels,and years ago I had the creepy-crawly sensation, now it is just down-right painful.
You are so kind to send advice my way. I haven't been out of the house for a few days but I will get the things you mentioned when I feel better.
HAVE A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY SEASON AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU.
You sound like you have had some very trying times and it also sounds like you are a very strong woman.

You know, Judy, that's it in a nutshell.
Medicine is expensive, and seeing a doctor is expensive. Sometimes it just takes so much that it sends people into bankruptcy or foreclosure, or maybe people just eat the cheapest food so they can by the expensive medicine.
I've more than once had doctors prescribe things that were 60 or more dollars when there was a perfectly good thing available for under $5.
When I first got tetanus the doctor prescribed an antibiotic that was way more than the money I had. When I called about it, the receptionist said that I could buy the medicine or not, it was up to me, but they weren't changing the prescription.
So a few days later when the lady came to help me, through traumatic brain injury, I asked her to call and explain to them what I had in the bank, and how it was not enough and I didn't have any other money.
That worked.
But I really don't think I'd be as sick as I am today if I'd known about how powerful vitamin C is, in the beginning. The Homeless doctor, whom I was able to see after my home was foreclosed, told me that a lot of my problems were from nerve damage from the tetanus.
So that's what makes me think that if I'd had proper treatment to kill the clostridia sooner, I'd be much healthier today.
I know what you mean... I am dreading having to go out next week. I have to go to the Appeals Court in the further attempt to get my condo back.
See, I know that if I didn't have the brain damage I would not have lost it.
Ooops, this train of thought tends to make me feel like crying and that does NO GOOD.
So, back to a more hopeful outlook.
Yes, get the Methylcobalamin.
Have you thought about ordering it from the web? I order a lot of things now.
If you do order it, take a look at the Jarrow Whey amino acids. I think they are helping my nerves heal in a stronger way. Also, they keep me from feeling starving and eating things that aren't healthy just to try to get rid of the feeling. (the vanilla is a bit... bitter tasting, I'm not so fond of it; but the chocolate and vanilla mixed are dynamite, with some cinnamon. MMMMM)
