63 and a half.Dont know if can work till 65.Both kneeproblem and RLS and weigh to much.I am to a looner and want to decide my decicions on my own.That makes it not easier because when I feel I cant do what I want myself I run backwards.Sometimes I'm so tired when RLS is going on 4 hours I cry and eat in the night and after I feel ashamed of myself know I have no chance to eat right because in those moments I can not think at all.Dont think you can helo me I'm to stubborn thats why I went away last time, felt skaird of my freedom wich I need more than anything else.

Hello lill,

I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with so many issues.

Restless legs syndrome or RLS symptoms can be eased with lifestyle changes and medication. Establishing regular sleep patterns, and eliminating or decreasing the use of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco, may be helpful.

Lill, are you taking any medication to help ease the pain in your knees? Have you considered joining a support group to help with weight loss? The support of other people in the same situation could be very helpful. Working with a trained counselor can help you develop coping skills to deal with the pain and your feelings.

Regards,
Maryann
