KG's Hideaway

... it's all the others. My tooth doesn't really hurt anymore, but the entire right side of my face is sore. Adding insult to injury, my legs have decided to start tingling. I have the diagnosis of, "We're pretty sure you have restless leg syndrome, but it could be MS." I don't really care what it is I just what my medicine to work. It does most of the time but three or four nights a month it doesn't and I either cry myself to sleep or just take more medicine and stay awake until it kicks in. Luckily it isn't pain meds or even mucle relaxers. Its actually an anti-seizure medication (gabapentin) and it works pretty well considering I'm on a gargantuan dose (2400mg @ hs).

RLS (restless leg syndrome) is not very understood at this point. They don't know why people get it, but they do think it can be tiggered by an injury, one of which I had about a year before the tingling in my legs started. Its really a pain in the ass.
