My sister texted me and told me George Takei died so I freaked out but then it was just Lenoard Nimoy

 

There's a great interview with him in Trekkies (doc about Star Trek fans) where he mentions some hot chick sent him a joint & a picture in the mail and he really liked it, so I always wanted to send him one with a picture of me lookin' all hot, but I guess I missed my chance.

End stage COPD at 83 must have been difficult for such an active person.  May he rest in peace.

I'm kind of catching up, been writing all day. 

 

That reminded me of an event that happened around here some years back.

It's been a LOOOOOOOONG week.  For the records, I hate snow.  With every fiber of my being.  Almost as much as I hate the cold.  And I need more sleep.

 

That being said...

 

 

Happy Friday, all.

happy Friday . .

[Simon]

I haven't slept all night since 1999.

In fact haven't slept for most of the night since 1999.

 

Happy Friday!

Please tell me about it Marha?

 

I have restless leg syndrome, ever since the twins were born in 99.

Simon I have RLS too.  I found a pill over the counter that helped some I can't remember the name.  I think it was in with the vitamin section though idk if it's something that's sold in Europe.  I never went to the doctor for medication like my sister did.`Mine isn't too bad but when it hits it's rough to deal with.

[Simon]

Shall I start a new medical topic for all of our ailments?

 

[Mr. Incognito]

Well it affects your Friday so maybe it's not totally   lol

This is why I live in the desert.  We occasionally get a bit, enough to ooh and ahh over and then it goes away.  The easterners would laugh at what I think of cold during the day.  Of course, I will be whining when the heat gets over 110 this summer.

Magnesium citrate.  I have been taking it for a couple of years and while not totally gone, my RLS is much reduced. YMMV

 

I have worse incidents when I have been taking allergy meds too for some reason.

Hey wait a minute, I hate winter as much as the next man/woman, but murdering a snowman...really.

Hi Setanta, I know lack of magnesium is a possible contributory factor.  However, I’ve been tested and my levels are ok.  Unless magnesium citrate is something else?  To be honest though I will try anything if it makes it better. It drives me crazy. 

 

 

For a time I was on Clonazepam, but they have bad side effects and I have heard that anti Parkinson meds work. I would rather not go on something strong though.

 

 

I’ve had every test going including sleep studies, nerve conduction, brain scan, blood tests etc.

 

 

I think it must be linked to stress.

 

 

It’s horrible isn’t it.

Those with the benefit of the Gulf Stream may not understand about murdering a snowman, but those of us in the Eastern US are that sick of snow.

 

The citrate in magnesium citrate is just the other side of the magnesium salt molecule.  That salt of magnesium is well absorbed, so it is one of the preferred forms.  It's just an efficient way to get magnesium into your system.

 

All of the drugs that treat neurological conditions have side effects, and the ones that are used for RLS are a way to treat the symptoms only.  There appears to be no current cure.

 

I empathize with you, because I also have an almost untreatable movement disorder, Essential Tremor.  It's progressive, and it has gotten to the point that In the mornings my handwriting can be illegible, on a bad hand day, and it has made me more unsteady on my feet.  Movement disorders are frustrating because  you feel that you should always be in control of your body, at the very least.  Being at the mercy of a renegade nervous system is the pits.

 

Back to more happy thoughts, IT'S FRIDAY, AND PAY DAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be sick of it to go to such lengths, but the snowman is just an outcome and not the root cause.  Destroying the snowman is futile, but granted may help you to feel a little better.

 

Yes damn nervous systems, but let's not dwell on it...as you said it's Friday!

Touché, Simon.  Well played. 

 

Have a great weekend.

Yes you too Martha.  I'm done.
