My buddy takes these crazy antipsychotic pills, EVERYTIME he takes them his legs start going! It’s like a crazy vibrating, bouncing thing. I’ve literally had to pull over and let him get out on the side of the highway it got so bad.

There’s a product I use when the legs go nuts. Healthfood store stuff called Calm. Basically cal mag. I tell my wife the puppetmaster visited again. Almost what the involuntary spasms feel like. @blowdout2269 and I thought the drop leg was unique. Making sure I stay well hydrated is key for me.

That’s the absolute worst! Only done it twice but man waking up like that is terrifying!

I’m used to it so it’s not overly scary but still not even slightly fun.

This is when it all gets much much worse for me.

Wow y’all. I had no idea this was such a problem. I don’t always get the legs going. I’m about to start keeping a journal of what I ate before sleep, how I’m feeling to see if there is a particular thing that triggers it. It’s wack. I know it’s coming on when my legs start tensing up and start going off with such power like I’m rock climbing or some shit. Why can’t they just be chill like I’m going for a stroll?

I sleep pretty poorly on a good day but when there are significant life stressors, even something like a dinner I don’t want to go to in three days, watch out.

I remember we spoke about this before. Was yours like life-long or recent? No joke mine came out of nowhere about 5 years back, maybe 4 so it’s all kinda new to me, and horrible! I end up in the shower in the fetal position. God I don’t wish that shit on anyone

Life long.
I tried to describe it to someone who doesn’t know and I said I imagine it’s like having a newborn, forever.
Alcohol used to help but I don’t do that anymore.
Mrs Foreigner sleeps like a log and I’m very jealous.

Damn bro…. I can only imagine! I would definitely not be the man I am if I had that shit my whole life. My mentor and a bunch of my friends I’ve known over 20 years all swear I’ve got PTSD from all the shit I’ve done and had done to me over the years, and tbh I can see it, definitely would have more than traumatized most. But now it’s the dumbest shit that can set it off, I will say I’m FINALLY starting to understand it and see what triggers it and how to get it to subside sometimes and that’s huge! I have these lorazapem but honestly I only take one if I’m in that fetal position and I have no other options cuz I hate pharmaceuticals!

My wife does too, like a baby! She hits the bed, out like a light! Me 1 escitalopram, 2-3 fatties etc. I still lay there, or I’ll sleep and wake up 87 times lol

I used to have terrible nightmares and would lash out sometimes. I woke up and I saw my wife had a black eye. Literally one of the worst I’d seen. I hollered “What happened” and she said “You happened”! She learned to not shake my shoulder when I am having a real bad one. I tell you, I was afraid for her for a while because that wasn’t the only instance of that kind of thing. I haven’t had a real bad nightmare in years though so I think she’s safe.
I also have RLS. I didn’t realize how many folks have that. And I have known a couple of people that have panic attacks. That right there looks horrible when it happens. I can’t imagine experiencing that kind of thing. My heart goes out to you two. Anyone that thinks it isn’t a real thing has never seen someone deal with an episode. It’s like depression. Some people don’t think it’s real until they go through it. Then they understand.

After like 4 weeks + my motorbreath #15 (dookie bros)
clone has finally started to grow! Never seen a plant so hard to clone! Just would not throw roots! And out of 4 cuts the others died off in time but this girl kept some green, after 3 weeks I said screw it and just tossed her in the coco with a little velokelp and some b vitamins and low and behold the last 4 days she took right off

Damn! Ya that sucks, especially your wife. We never want to see any harm come to them and then we inflict it subconsciously 
. I’ve only done it once (she’s said) but I have kicked her since. Maybe it’s time to get one of those stupid bigger than king size beds! I’m a big boy so I could use it anyway lol

We opted for a split king. It’s 2 twin xl mattresses. We also got the motorized shit so we can be in different levels of elevated feet and recline. That was the best financing I never made a payment on!

Damn I’m jealous that sounds epic! I just got my first memory foam last year, what a game changer. But that sounds heavenly

You can be just like me if you’re willing to put a little money down and then fuck off the bill! I think the total price on our bed, hand made mattresses with the motorized bases was like $8500 or something. I think I had to put down half and financed the rest through some 3rd party financing company. Got this dope ass set up for half price anyway hahaha.

I found that Kava-Kava root helped with restless legs. It comes in Candy form, just let it melt in your cheek a half hour before bed. Search “Kava Candy, Ozia” on the dark lord Bezos Amazon website. It also helps you get a full 8hrs.
One important thing with kava is you cannot mix with alcohol, ever. So if you drink its not for you.
