Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I want to thank all of you for your thughts, it has helped me so much. I have tried other opiods, and unfortunately they make me have hives and itch. I am not on any meds for acid reflux. I very rarely get heartburn etc.. All of my other vit tests have been good mag, cal and so on. Mylast bone densi...

I went to the DR today and he put me on iron tablets and Vit d tablets 1 a week @50,000 units for four weeks. He seems to think this will help me. he also prescribed me methadone 5mg one to two times a day. I really do not know much about this drug other than what I have read on this site. I would l...

Hello everyone hope all is well. I got my blood work results back and I see th DR tomorrow. My vitamin D was @10 Vitamin D2 @4, and Ferritn @21. So here is the question what does this mean besides I need alot of Iron and vit D? Hasanyone had trouble with their VitD? I know it is early in the evening...

I am sure I am not the only one who is tired of taking so many meds for rls, but when you have to pop an extra 2mg requip just so you do not hurt as bad (Mirapex done nothing for me) is there any other options? Can't take Nuerotin sp?, Lyrica is doing nothing either. I feel like I am at the end. I g...

Hello to all hope everyone is doing well. I went to the DR today and had my bloodwork done. I insisted on the iron ferritin test and he agreed. He also is checking vit d, a, magnesium, potassium and for lupus:sp? and inflammation. I won't know the results for a week because the vit d takes longer. P...

Does anyone know if this quit smoking aid interferes with RLS? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks

I was just wondering if any of us had severe Rls before they were pregnant? I want to have another child so bad but am afraid of the legs. I am currently on meds (cocktail). Has anyones DR worked with them on the issue, and if so what meds if any were safely used. I am new here but have been reading...

Hi Lorabell and thanks for the welcome. I have no idea about hereditary traits seeing as I was adopted. But, I live in a small retirement town in Arkansas. And they do the sleep studies at the hospital. My DR has checked my iron but not my Ferritin iron. When I go back on the 14th I will ask him. Th...

Hello to all! I took the lyrica last night and so far it has really helped. The only thing is that I had Tremors (spasms) on the left side of my face. I have had Bells Palsy several times in the last five years, and I think it is coming on again. It always happens when I am stressed the most. I can ...

Charlene, Thanks for the welcome. My Dr did start me on the starter pack and I stayed on 1mg for a year and a half until about 3 months ago. My Dr is really trying to work with me. I have had almost every blood test all but Vit D and Arthritis. I will be goung for that next week. He thinks my Rls is...

Thanks for all your concerns. This forum has really helped me alot. I went to my GP today,and he added Lyrica to my cocktail. I hope this helps me get some pain relief. I had a Nuero, but he wasn't to concerned so I ddecided to not go back to him. Bad thing is he is the only one for 250 miles from w...

Thanks to all that are concerned, I truly feel better talking to people with the same condition. I went to my GP today and he added Lyrica to my cocktail. I had a Nuerologist but, he was not that concerned.... so I am searching for a new one. I live in a small town so, I may have to look out of stat...

Cyndi,
thanks for your reply. I am so glad that I can talk to people about our condition. My hubby thinks it is all in my head but wonders why he has bruises on his legs I will take your advice as I see my GP tomorrow. Thanks again.

Has anyone ever taken this stuff and had suicidal feelings? My neuro put me on this and I felt like I was at the bottom of the bowels....so 2 nights was it for me. Although it did help me get 6hrs of sleep...but the side effects were awful. Any thoughts???

Hello, I have never joined a forum before, but have always read the posts on this paticular site. I have had RLS for 2 years now. I am so discouraged of the recent events of my RLS. I am wondering does anyone else get bad leg cramps, muscle spasms in legs, rear end, and feet and also growing pains 2...
