I followed a YouTube recipe for magnesium lotion for my RLS looking for alternatives for it my medication f me up so I had to stop using it awaiting doc.

Anyway the recipe I used required shea butter and by god it smells horrible. Looking at different butters on Amazon most have bad reviews about the smell.

Can anyone help with a recipe for beginner with ingredients that don’t smell terrible? Could I replace shea butter with cocoa butter or something else?

I just started my meds gabapentin, something really odd happened 0.0 ahi which I’ve rarely seen before. Usually get 1-2ahi. Not looking for medical advice I have a Sleep and Lung doctor specialist who’s been treating me for sleep apnea, shortness of breath ( fixed), and now RLs after two inlab sleep tests. My sleep test indicated no obstructive apnea only complex but I was wondering if rls meds worked were you able to get off cpap/bipap?

Unsure if a lot of rls people have complex apnea in this sub.

I am trying to find a sweetener, is hard to find one, so much information online some say this one is better or this other one.

I cannot keep drinking my loose green tea or macha without some kind of sweetener. Tea is the most relaxing part of my day. What’s the stand of most pure sweetener or healthy without added chemicals. I’m not a sweet tooth so I’ll probably use a bit and hoping to find one for baking as well for my almond flour recipes.

Thanks for reading!

Edit: will try allulose and see how that goes, thanks for all the responses!

Iron and ferritin results came back normal. My hope was that iron was the cause of my RLS. Oh well, now doc can begin drug trials hopefully soon.

I’m a bit scared seeing how some drugs eventually stop working. Is there a drug progression or they just try something to see what works?

Basically title, my doc ordered iron blood test. I guess I can call tomorrow but was wondering if people usually stop iron supplements to avoid skewing the results.

A bit of background I’m fighting sleep issues mainly with restless leg syndrome RLS (sure I’ve had it since I was little) and way too many wake ups. I’ve gotten two sleep inlab studies and a new machine for complex apnea was ordered by my doc. I’ve been on cpap for two years fighting mold allergy, misdiagnosed asthma, inhalers messing up my bpm, near insomnia some days, mental health, and sleep apnea. On top of it I lost my job since my sleep really affected my judgement and temper.

Much better these days though, I research rls has many food triggers so I was looking that a few patterns for food are close to keto so I asked wife if we could do it.

So my mornings were usually so moody, foggy and light headaches. I’m about a week in and doing intermittent fasting. End of week I started noticing better focus at work and my mornings are improving I feel a bit more energized. I will eventually get the blood strip test but the urine strip shows I’m in keto which is nice.

My wife is having a tougher time, she’s always been a sweet tooth and so she drinks coffee with sugar and creamer, any suggestions there? I researched sweeteners and I’m scared about those seems like a rabbit hole. We both want to improve our life and health. Thanks for reading this far.

Edit: forgot to mention after eating, I don’t feel bloated which is something new for me.

I am an M570 Logitech user for prob more than a decade I lost count. I wanted to look for something newer with similar shape. I bought EM04 but man trackball is so stiff. Do I need to grease it up lol. The M570 trackball movement was much smoother. Also not loving the quiet clicks, because of this sound click missing something I don't know if I clicked it is been several times where I click and nothing happens.

Any suggestions on what to try?

So, after a health scare a few years ago I’ve stopped coffee and most sugar intake like soda, and sweets. Still drank raw honey and lots of fruit.

With mag cream, iron intake I was doing a bit better then boom. My bday we got cake and also had coffee for breakfast. Last two nights were terrible. The worse sleep I’ve had in a while.

I guess I’ve learned my lesson to avoid those two at all costs. Any other triggers I should be aware of.

I've realize for the most part of my life I've used pdf's for books. Is it easy to convert it, maybe with calibre? What is your go to for getting epubs, what is a good store?

Tips on conversion for X4?

I will preface that before xteink I did read once in a while but not as frequent as today. A huge part of that is due to the small factor that I can carry it anywhere.

I had a 1hr medical test sitting in a chair I pulled out my reader. Before bed time with a dark light, at lunch time we have a zen break room is so nice and peaceful to just read and be away from a phone screen with zero distractions.

I can’t read this consistently on phone or laptop is just impossible. So far loving it and I will load more books into it.

I got one app published, and one in the process of submitting for review. I wanted to add to testflight but is completely broken both internal and external is out of commission with a generic ui error of just try again later but is been two weeks now. Getting the 422 below. I emailed dev support and they are incredibly slow and asking generic questions, like what build, and app even after I told them is all apps. Even a published build can't be installed with testflight.

I am beyond frustrated. I submitted an app for review and went through so account is fine or at least some of it. It seems like testflight is kaput and I can't get my apps to my test users.

Any ideas how to get this resolved in a timely manner, I think dev email just sent an ai generic response and haven't heard back in a week.

I built an app for Rowing Ergs, is a fancy rowing app for workouts. It has two modes watch mode which uses coremotion I would assume a reviewer might have a watch for testing this part.

For testing with Erg Machines I developed a BLE mac app sim, I didn't even think of the review process and how it would go when actual hardware is needed. Do you recommend linking my github repo for the sim with a notarized DMG?

Any other reviewer advice for testing iOS apps with workout equipment?

Running 1.4.0 crossink, basically the title, I would like to see book covers in folders, is this in settings, or just not possible?

My daughter wants me to teach her how to speak Spanish, I’ve disconnected from my heritage since I came to the US I married an American and she wasn’t interested I learning Spanish so I always felt weird about speaking Spanish. I also subconsciously didn’t want my kids to have an accent and be made fun of in school. I know is silly.

Once in a blue moon I speak Spanish with my mom or brother over the phone. I have an 8, 15 year old who want to learn Spanish looking for book recommendations that are guided lessons keeping in mind that I am a native Spanish speaker who can also write Spanish. I want to teach them in the evenings and weekends. I grew up in Mexico until I was 15. Thanks for your help, gracias!

I think I have a good history of my sleep tests. Two within a year in lab. Second one should show most apneas taken care of and high PLMD including a few hours of RLS before falling asleep. What else does insurance usually ask for? Or if is a bad case like mine they’d prefer you to use drugs first?

Tech’s aren’t supposed to talk about anything to you but he’s was like is one of the worst cases I’ve seen and I’ve titrated a lot of people. He’s familiar with RLS due to his family so he made sure to tell me to get help for it.

I’m 99% sure I have RLS, my sleep watch and o2 ring had major movements throughout the night. I just finished my second split night test for apnea in the hospital. First was diagnostic and second titration which was successful. In the test it was noted my legs move like crazy and it was the cause of my awakenings, none were due to apenas.

I kinda had a feeling something else was the case since I have been waking up to pee since I was a little kid.

I’m a bit depressed ngl, sleep is stopping me from doing things I want to do. Work has been bleak I love my job but my brain is fried most of the time. My body is so tired I can’t even workout.

I honestly don’t want more pills, what are my options magnesium, iron? I do remember sleeping better when I was talking iron for lunch, and when I had the energy to workout. For some reason I thought my apnea was keeping me up so I’ve stopped all supplements and that cause my sleep to decline I guess due to worse rls and now I can’t workout.

I don’t know exactly what to ask but anything that can help me I’d be grateful for tips.

Last November I had my first split night test half no cpap then half with cpap they were unable to control events. Lost my job and just getting around the second split night.

Second night doc set it up for bilevel and if that didn’t work second night bilevel ST. I was fine on bilevel all night.

I told doc that something was going on since I remember waking up since I was little to go pee and back then I know for sure I didn’t have obstructive apnea. I thought maybe UARS but he said sleep doc didn’t see RERAs. Sleep tech told me before going home I got crazy RLS, which makes a whole lot of sense. At some point I was on magnesium, iron and a few other supplements which seemed to help. I guess my goal is to loose more weight so that RLS becomes more manageable like it was before sleep apnea. Open to suggestions I don’t really want to try medication for it.

I’m excited to get this device I would like to try crosspoint, is there a specific website or store I should be buying from?
