Is this RLS (restless leg syndrome)?
Autoimmune Diseases | Last Active: Feb 25 11:56am | Replies (111)Comment receiving replies
I also suffer from RLS. I have found a natural essential oil cream that works great and I also take ropinerole. It is frustrating that it only happens at night.
I am interested to know f anyone has tried the non -THC marijuana that is being sold as a natural non medical product for all of the horrible pain etc that is associated with so many of the autoimmune disorders.
If any of this is not allowed I understand

@mswanda I’ve only tried *with* THC, & it is the only effective treatment I’ve found so far for restless leg syndrome for me.
That being said, I have an extremely high tolerance, so I have to take a heavy dose before bed, but it will work every time (the only time it hasn’t is when I started taking Cymbalta which made me seemingly immune to any of the normal effects I get from THC).
I was probably 24 or 25 when I realized that was why I was having better sleep compared to when I was in my late teens & early 20’s, I fell asleep at the wheel a couple of times & even actively hallucinated at the wheel due to such bad sleep deprivation (none of these days had I realized just how tired I was). I haven’t hallucinated since I started being able to use weed more regularly at 22, & I haven’t fallen asleep at the wheel again either.
The problem is now that I’m getting older (28), I’m starting to get occasional day time symptoms as well. This is normally fine if I have to work, because I stand & move around anyway at work, so I don’t need the weed then & obviously can’t anyway, bc I’m at work.
At home, though, it can be a bit of a pain in the day, because I could take more weed but then risk my daily nighttime dose not being strong enough. The dose strength issues probably wouldn’t affect most people, though. From what I understand, I have kind of a monster tolerance.

Can you tell me the name of the natural essential oil cream that you use? I take 3 Ropinerole pills nightly and it's not working. I'm thinking about THC Gummies to help me sleep, but am afraid it might affect my breathing. I use a CPAP with oxygen nightly. Thanks for your help!
