00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 3: And I would go to the doctor. And I had

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: a friend who was a doctor, and I'd say, what

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: is going on? And she said, We've never heard of this,

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: And I say, I lie there and it becomes painful.

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: If I don't move my legs, You've just got to

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: get up dancing, don't And I would end up I

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: feel like and I would end up punching my arm

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: so that it hurts. So it was a distraction for

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: the restless leg that I had lying there in my

25
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,240

Speaker 2: Yeah, she was non stop.

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,959

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: it's pretty awful horrible.

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,000

00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: She developed restless leg syndrome during pregnancy, so listen to

33
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 4: this day. So they gave her a medication called rope

34
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: pin Role, right. Rope pina Role is a drug manufactured

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:50,080

36
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: taking rope pina Role, she began compulsively gambling and buying

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: That's controlling meless finger.

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: So she had to explain to her husband that it

40
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: was the medication rope pinna role. Why I've wracked up

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: so much money on the credit card.

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: I get rid of the restless legs.

Speaker 4: lead to addictions in your life. What and gambling gambling

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,640

Speaker 4: She ended up spending thirty pounds in gambling and buying

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: just frivolous things in her life. I mean, could this

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720

00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: loves to spend that you've got restless legs.

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,000
