Deaar Bud, My husband and I enjoyed reading you introduction. My husband, Staley,64, has PD.But I have two kinds of arthritis, Rheumatoid and Ankylosing Spondylitis and my doctor gave me Elavil (orAmitriptyline-generic) to help me go to sleep at night when I'm in pain. Well, I was having "restless legs" every night and it nearly drove me CRAZY! Then it dawned on me, if I didn't take it ar forgot to take it, I didn' thave "restless legs." I was wondering since Elavil is given for PD, if in fact you were taking it? I have found that if I take it when I am getting in bed and lay down flat, they don't bother me. Hope this will help if you take Elavil. Good luck! Betty Mims [log in to unmask]
