I never thought I'd be happy to have a bunch of electrodes glued to my body and told to go to bed... But, man, am I glad I did it! My test showed that I have Restless Leg syndrome, Periodic Limb movement, I grind my teeth and possibly Acid reflux... No wonder I'm tired all the time!
My Doctor started me on Neurontin and it seems to be helping. I've only been taking it for a couple of days so far. I guess I just wanted to thank this posting site for all of the valuable information I've read. It was the catalyst for pushing my doctor into having me tested. I didn't want to just be labled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :)
All of my lab work had been normal, no low thyroid, my iron was fine... My doctor ran out of tests... then she said "Well, I don't know if it'll show anything, but, I don't know what else to try" I was starting to think it was all in my head... Now that I know for sure I have a "real" problem. Hopefully I can now control it!
Sorry for the long post... Just wanted to share my excitement and thanks!
