Moose asked:


I’m a bit confused about what restless leg syndrome actually is.

I feel a dull pain (may not be accurate, I have no idea how to describe the feeling…I’ll just use pain for lack of a better word) in my calves and sometimes my feet. No matter what I do the pain will not go away, it just goes away on its own after awhile.

This feeling probably occurs once or twice a day. It is severe about once or twice a week. However, I do not have problems sleeping due to this, and the pain does not persist when I lie down to go to bed (it seems that this is the main problem with RLS).

Also, getting up and walking around only relieves the pain when I am walking, and sometimes not at all.

Any ideas on what this may be?

Go here: http://noteworthynewscasts.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-is-sleep-apnea.html and read my article. Tell me what you think!

Abstract:
What is sleep apnea? It is a disease that affects a small number of the population (only about 4% of men & 2% of women), but the chances of developing this disorder gets progressively worse as one grows older and leaving the symptoms untreated could be fatal. Many who have sleep apnea do not even know they have this affliction. This report will educate the reader about the signs and symptoms of sleep apnea, such as snoring and constant feelings of drowsiness. It will also review what one would expect when being tested for apnea, as well as popular and less-traditional treatment methods. It then discusses the long-term effects of not treating sleep apnea, which could include heart failure. By the time the reader has completed this report, they will have a full understanding of sleep apnea and how it affects one’s life.

I find myself very sleepy in the day and often fall asleep during school, in vehicles and definitely at home. I am generally unable to stay awake once I start to feel a little sleepy. And I scored a 20 on the Epworth Sleepiness Scale.

I also experience hypnagogic hallucinations and automatic behavior.

Could I have Narcolepsy, then? My excessive sleepiness is negatively affecting my daily life.

Hi I will be coming to America in February – arriving mid morning in either Los Angeles or San Francisco, (not sure which airport yet). My final destination is Washington, DC.

Due to the difference in time zones, my options are very limited – the flights in to DC either arrive quite late in the evening (just before midnight), or else very early in the morning.

I would prefer to arrive between noon and five pm. I really don’t want to spend the early hours of the morning in an airport. I thought I could remedy this problem by flying in a day earlier, and then stopping over midway across the country.

I could just book a room, spend the night, and then fly out to DC the next morning. This would probably help me get over my jet lag, too.

Here’s where I could use some suggestions – what would be the best city in which to stopover?

I looked on the map for somewhere about halfway across; a workmate suggested Chicago, but I thought it would be too cold, or maybe even snowing there, in February. My neighbours suggested Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta as possibilities. However, none of them could provide any first-hand information.

I’d appreciate suggestions as to what city to overnight in, as well as recommendations for inexpensive accommodations – because I am on a limited budget. I can’t afford the Hilton, but I don’t want to stay in a backpackers. Just a quiet and safe, yet inexpensive place to get cleaned up and rested – and preferably a motel with a free shuttle to the airport.

Thanks in advance for your help! I know there are many people out there in the know, who will share their travel expertise…
As far as the stopover – again this is just for clean up and sleeping – not for shopping or sightseeing.

I’ve been to Las Vegas once, and aside from the neon, it doesn’t really interest me. I’m a student so I don’t have any $ for gambling or shows.

I’m just mainly looking for a safe quiet place to have a shower and a rest before I head on to the East Coast. About the Chicago stopover – I’ve been watching the weather reports-brr! Will the ice and cold would be over by February? Or am I fooling myself?

Both of my airlines options (ANZ or Qantas and their alliences) offer multi-stop trips, and also give discounts on hotels, Trying to find the right one with an airport shuttle, and without cockroaches will be the tricky bit.

Looking at Dallas-Fort Worth or Houston as southern options, and Chicago or Indianapolis as northern options.

BTW, I can flu directly into DCA, which is only about 12 Km from where I need to be. Any ideas on safe clean places to stopover?
Thanks =)
