A few years ago I was dealing with my legs, they got restless which make me kick with them just to relieve that tension. It is a weird condition and debilitating because it affected my then insomnia making it worse.

That was one of the worse days of my being a dialysis patient which is having to suffer a condition that if I would discuss it to my doctor I believe she will shrug it off. So what I have done is researched a bit of information about my symptoms and true enough I had Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS.)

I first saw that condition from my mother when I was made to massage her legs because she was having rheumatism those days until I told her not to eat forbidden foods like string beans, mackerel, and such. So I noticed that she kicks her legs frequently, probably the uric acid but it was a symptom of RLS.

Although my mother wasn't treated about it and it went away from her, I myself just looked up for a solution to that weird and debilitating condition. So I learned about it and I managed to make a prescription out of it and told my parents to buy me some tablets after giving them money to buy it for me so I would see if it works or not.

Then the moment of truth I took one 600 mg tablet and after an hour my legs relaxed like magic and also I was able to sleep. I got cured in a span of less than an hour. Then I took it regularly but not everyday because being a dialysis patient I just have to take care not to overdose myself.

My RLS went away for good but now I am just taking Gabapentin for making my body ease it tension and relax as well as enhance my sleep too. It is quite a three birds in one stone or maybe four because I do have a minor epilepsy condition so maybe it helps me with that health issue as well.

You Get Chill'n With Gabapentin

Hi @cryptopie, this drug can do good, but I have two friends that take it . One is paralyzed from the waist down, and taking this gave him incontience and the shakes. The other friend has neuropathy and this drug made him doped up. I know it does good for you and others just be careful........😯

I am careful of taking it @silvertop in fact I am only taking it once or twice a week. I also noticed that it gives me a calmer gut as well so I think this medicine is just like hitting five birds with one stone now.

I always follow your post, pray for YOU

dear friend @cryptopie i like your work

I hope u can sleep well , my friend.

i want you healthy very well.

I pray for you
