Hi everyone:

I'm wondering do you get a feeling in your legs that feels like you've just 
pulled a muscle while tossing and turning as you find a comfortable position 
to sleep in and THE ONLY way to cure it is to either stand up next to the 
bed or walk around?  I do.  And the weird part of all is I sleep in a 
hospital bed.

Now I've heard of RLS - Restless Leg Syndrome on those TV ads advertising 
that drug.  Could what I'm experiencing be a classic symptom?

I've tried raising my legs.  I've tried lowering my legs.  Same thing with 
the head (Though not too far as I have to have my head somewhat elevated). 
I try to keep my feet elevated above my heart, but that's a little hard to 
do when you have to keep your head elevated too.

Any ideas as to how I might solve the Catch 22 situation?

Cheers :D
