Mental,
How are you doing? I didn't have access to a PC today, and wondered about you several times. The restless legs, like the others said, hot baths and heating pads. I also had some hyland's restless leg pills. They are homeopathic and these had quinine in them, but I've heard that they no longer sell stuff with it in there, and the ones without it don't work.
Are you getting plenty of fluids?
Oh girl, I know about the small town thing. I actually went in for counseling when I decided to quit. The nurse there was the daughter of someone I worked with. I didn't know that at the time, but soon found it out. The lady that worked with me just all of a sudden didn't want anything to do with me anymore. So, yes, I'm quit aware of the small town thing. My hubby's profession is teaching (he teaches math and criminal justice), so we couldn't have a bad reflection either.
How do you think your husband would react? I know it is hard to make the decision to tell them, but they can be such a source of strength when you need it the most. He may be upset and angry, but those will pass and his want to make sure you're OK will take over. Seriously, you need to talk to someone in your life. Moving away from family is very stressful, and sometimes just downright depressing.
How long have you been seeing this Dr.? You said you had recently moved, so I was wondering if you're going back to see the dr. from where you used to live? Could you go to another dr outside of the town and talk to him/her about your problem?
I hope you're doing better today. Please, keep us all updated.
Stay Strong,
RTBD
