No good answers

I am considering starting to take baclofen to try to ease my restless legs, which have been kind of bad for the last three weeks.

I think they have been bad because I haven't been falling asleep well. The more I am lying awake in bed, the more likely I will notice something on my leg, which causes it to jump.

The reason I am not falling asleep is the sleep mask.

I am not at all excited about this medicine. Baclofen has a nasty little issue.

It tends to reduce the rigidity of muscles (the hypertonicity, my awesome PT says).

I use my hypertonicity to lock my legs in place as I transfer.

So it could make me fall more. But sleeping has been a joke. But I'm managing my sleeplessness OK. But I hate it.
