Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

There seems to be a good response for people wanting to go to the conference. I was really excited because prior to this one, most of the other conferences from the sleep-related sites seemed to be geared towards specific sleep disorders and not a general conference like this one! I'm crossing my fi...

Hi janis! I have RLS and Narcolepsy also. Dunno about the ADD, or if it's all the meds.... Besides RLS and Narcolepsy, I also have: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (connective tissue disorder) Migraines Fibromyalgia Iron deficiency anemia (yay! something I can fix!) GERD ...and some other stuff related to th...

My doctor gave me the option to take 1-3 0.125 mg of Mirapex nightly to control my RLS. I noticed that if I didn't take my Mirapex (forgot) or didn't take enough, I would have bruises all over my legs. My assumption was always that I was moving my legs in my sleep and causing the bruises, which mean...

I had nerve conduction tests done back before I even knew what RLS was. I was diagnosed with multifocal neuropathy and was told that it would most likely develop into peripheral neuropathy. I'm actually going back to the neurologist to retest and see what the developments are, since there is a progr...

Whew! I'm not crazy.... it's just my arms that are "crazy"!!! Actually, mine has been more recent and was starting to scare me a bit. I had a carpal tunnel release in the right wrist a few years ago and have had problems with that elbow for a couple years also. Lately both arms have been acting up o...

I take Provigil for Narcolepsy and also have RLS. While I don't think the Provigil makes my RLS worse, it definitely doesn't make it "go away" either. I still get the sensations when relaxing or sitting still. I have noticed that being more awake and alert has lessened it to a degree, which is benef...

Sleepless, I'm a little late on this, but hopefully this can help someone. I take Topamax for migraine prevention and not my RLS. One of the more bothersome side effects of Topamax is the tingly - pins and needles - sensations, which affects the hands, feet, and sometimes the face and some people fi...

Ambien came out with an Ambien CR, which is the extended release formula. My doc described it as supposed to add 1-2 hours to what regular Ambien would give for sleep. Anyway, I started on the Ambien and was able to get about 5-6 hours sleep a night. That dwindled to about 4 hours a night. So, I am ...

I'm not sure about all anti-inflammatories, but I remember reading somewhere (older posts on other forums) where some people complained of Vioxx and Celebrex causing RLS to be worse. I took Relafen for about a month for a shoulder injury and it didn't seem to make my RLS any worse, it actually seeme...

I'm new to this forum, but we had these posts over at another forum that I frequent and several of us thought they were ok. I think one of the mods even checked it out and it is legit. I say if they are willing to pay for some info, then alrighty! I'm game! I don't mind new ways to make money to pay...
