Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I have been thinking about trying the Restful Legs too but can't find it in our small town. All we have is a CVS. I will have to go out of town to get it. Does it work pretty well?

Aiken, it is basically on the entire leg(both of them)and I have tried putting the laptop on a pillow on my lap and the same thing happens. At first the Dr. thought it was my back. He did x-rays, and a CT scan and did a neve conduction study on my legs and nothing showed up. Then he asked if I had e...

he doesn't think it is neuropathy..guess it just affects me in a different way than most people...burning and tingling...and it is really bothering me right now so I guess I better take a warm shower and take my meds. Luckily it will go away soon and I usually don't have any trouble sleeping and wil...

another strange thing is that the burning in my legs is at it's worst at night when I sit with my feet up and my laptop in my lap....wonder if the heat from the laptop makes it worse??? BTW is there a rule about mentioning products on this board?

well, I am not sure if the cream is working or not-It is very soothing and has a cooling effect. I have just used it for 2 nights and I have been so tired that I just fall right asleep when I go to bed. I am one of the lucky ones... the RLS hasn't affected my sleeping, at least not after I fall asle...

I am on the mirapex,which I think has helped , but I also ordered some cream that I saw advertised in a magazine that I am going to try tonight..even if it doesn't work, at least I will have soft legs

I don't get it-for 2 days I had no symptoms at all and then yesterday it came back full blast. I am trying to see if there was anything that I did differently but the only thing I can think of is that I was active the 2 days that there were no symptoms. Either that took my mind off of "it" or being ...

tell me about the soap thing.....

well, that sounds like exactly what I have..BTW my husband has had PLM for many years and we thought he was the one with RLS and it turned out to be me.

Well, I just checked my messages and the Nurse called and said she talked to the Dr and he said to take 2 Mirapex at night. (.25 mg) I have to keep my grands in the AM and don't want to be hung over so I think I will take 1 1/2 to begin with...I hope and pray that this works..and I have only had it ...

I don't think he checked the ferretin levels......but he does not think I have neuropathy. I thought RLS was the jerking and involuntary moving of the legs that disrupts your sleep but he seems to think that the burning and tingling are caused by RLS. ALso the fact that it feels much better when I m...

thanks so much to all of you....that makes me feel better...and I will take your advice. (my family thinks I am nuts) and I try not to say too much to them about this mysterious condition.....I always have the strangest things happen to me and they have begun to think I am a hypocondriac. Anyway I a...

I have recently been diagnosed with RLS..mine is a burning and tingling in the legs, worse in the evenings when I sit and rest..sometimes it is worse than others but no one seems to understand how uncomfortable it can be.I have been blessed that it doesn't affect my sleep, at least not yet. I have h...
