For me, Mirapex caused it to move to the arms....any dopamine agonist taken to the point of significant augmentation (and it can happen fast) seems to cause this. For most of us, once it's progressed to new body parts, it stays there even if we stop the drugs. It's sad to say that one of my many fi...

Well I can vouch for the disease being in the arms as well as in my right chest/shoulder and of course the legs. My arms started being very painful when I was put on Requip(EVIL DRUG, for me) back in 2003. I can not recall the weird painful sensations before trying it. My arms and legs have never be...

The docs are thinking that untreated neuropathy has caused my to have the RLS symptoms and anxiety of an underlying cause. I have not been taking my Effexor for over three weeks due to my extortionist prescription company. Right now as stated earlier they put me on 2 mg klonopiroblem besides 72 hour...

Thanks CT. Doing well now. Just when I move the fear of find a smuck instead of a doctor fears me the most. Keeping me in the exhausting pain we all know. The excruciating pain down my legs, arms, even my left shoulder and neck. It is at those times when the suicide thoughts creep in. My partner han...

Hello all, has been sometime since I was here last. I can identify with this subject very well. I am also a 24/7 RLSer and have been for 4-5 years now. At 42 yrs old that is not comforting, when I realize that as more time goes on the worse it will get. I have been fighting with this since I was abo...

When Stim?

It was a year since I last tried the Sinemet. So I was willing to give it another short shot. One more night and I give up with it. Not sure on when I am going for the stimulator, again. I saw a different doc in Georgia, was driving 215 miles every 2 weeks. Tried a trial stim that worked. Only had o...
