The other night I was watching television and saw a commercial for one of the hundreds of prescription drugs currently available. Like many of these commercials, it listed an array of general symptoms with the drug representing a potential solution. The particular drug that caught my attention is supposed to treat Restless legs syndrome (RLS).

While I recognize that some individuals probably do suffer from this syndrome, and may in fact require treatment, I did begin to wonder about the possibility of individuals confusing symptoms potentially indicative of a metaphysical event with that of a physical disorder.

For example, regarding the above disorder, the National Institute of Health indicates that RLS is characterized by unpleasant sensations such as burning, creeping, tugging, or insect-like crawling inside the legs when at rest. They further state that the most distinctive or unusual aspect of the condition is that lying down and trying to relax activates the symptoms.

I began to think that from an occult persepective, many individuals indicate that they feel strange vibrations prior to astral projection. Like the RLS, these vibrations are usually activated when the individual achieves a state of relaxation. In addition, the activation of Kundalini can cause Kriyas, some of which manifest as strange feelings and uncontrollable muscle movements. I surmised that the potential exists for an individual unfamiliar with astral projection or kriyas to mislabel their experience as RLS.

I though it would be interesting to hear if anyone here has had a condition arise that they initially attributed to a physical disease or disorder, only to later realize that it was related to their metaphysical practices?

Also, has anyone taken a prescription drug and/or over-the-counter drug and found that it altered the results of their workings (inability to project, changed the quality of a meditation, etc.)? I am NOT referring to illegal drugs, as many of their effects have been discussed at length in regards to magickal practice. I am referring to medications (antibiotics, antacids, etc.) that may have initially been considered generally inert in regards to a working or magickal practice, but appear to have affected your practice in ways you did not anticipate?

I used to have these symptoms along time ago before the commercials and the "RLS movment" but they've gone away after I've gotten stronger and have gotten control of myself ect. But I'd didn't know what the hell it was when I had it, it was just irritating and uncomfertable as f%*!. But years later I saw the commercials and was all "Oh thats what I had??? .... right okay moving on."

Because I didnt' know what it was I never took any medicine for it, I just faught it off.
