I have a lot of trouble sleeping at night and most of the time it is due to Restless legs.
Restless leg syndrome is a condition that affects my legs and lower extremities.
Sometimes it even affects my arms. Restless leg syndrome causes an uncontrollable urge to move your body parts. Sometimes my legs tingle or feel like they have pain and that makes me move them even if I am asleep. I have trouble sitting and laying down and often lay awake in bed for hours while my legs are moving independently. My doctor doesn’t have an answer for me when I ask how I developed restless leg syndrome. He said it could be genetics or a problem with certain medications. It’s very challenging to live with restless legs, but I take some medications at night that help and I also started another course of treatment that has proven to be invaluable. I started using recreational marijuana at night before I went to bed. I never knew that recreational marijuana might be able to help with my unique condition. I was hanging out with some friends and we decided to smoke a recreational marijuana joint. When I got home that night and laid down, I passed out and went right to sleep. In the morning when I woke up, I realized that I had forgotten to take my restless legs medications earlier that evening. I slept without any problems and my legs did not move around. I think marijuana might be able to help more than the prescription pills.
