Itching and RLS?
I've been suffering with RLS for years and do not have any of the mentioned illness. I do, however, have a myriad of allergies and am presently suffering from itching legs as well as RLS. So you can imagine trying to get a good nights sleep. I wondered if it could be associated in any way to RLS. It...

Ropinirole
My doctor finally prescribed Ropinirole 2 mg for me... I could not wait to try it, my symptoms have been so bad lately. First night I woke up at 4 a.m. sicker than I have ever been in my life. Nausea, and weakness so bad I could hardly make it down the stairs. Luckily I had anti-nausea pills on hand...

RLS and itching legs?
I've been diagnosed with RLS and now I am suffering with itching legs... from the ankles to the knees. No rash, just itching that is driving me nuts. If I scratch the legs turn bright red but no rash. Cold water is the only relief I get, but can't carry that around or take it to bed with me. Just wo...

RLS related to the nervous system?
I did notice something though. When I get a pedicure and the person giving it rubs the bottom of my feet with a brush or files my toe nails... I get a similar sensation... which makes me think. The feet are where the nerve endings are. Is RLS related to the nervous system?

I'm still taking the Xanax but not every night. Sometimes the symptoms come on early evening and I take one, but some nights it doesn't appear until the middle of the night, awakening me. I'd have to turn on the light and take a pill to get rid of it then, I'd not be able to awaken for work. If I ta...

Greetings from Buffalo NY
I suffer terribly from RLS and read somewhere on the Internet that RLS may be caused by low iron. So I asked my doc to order a blood test. The office called to say my levels were normal at 47. The range, they said, was 40- 110. And they think 47 isn't low??????? What do you people think of this?

Thank you for your help. I'm from Buffalo NY. I'm taking Cartia for blood pressure, and Prilosec for GERD. That's it. Sometimes I have allergic sinusitis and get a violent fit of it that only Benydryl will help... I will then suffer terribly with RLS. But aspirin or Tylenol never made it worse until...

I have not been diagnosed officially. My doctor is not familiar with RLS. I do not have pain... I see others here have pain. I do not. I just have to keep moving my legs. There is a feeling in them that just wants to move... hard to explain. I get a similar feeling when I am overly tired or bored. W...

Re: My Story and My Cure for RLS
This may be a longer post, but I highly advise anyone with RLS to read all of it and try my course of action. I have had RLS for over 1 year. Its been mild to severe at night, and over the past two months has destroyed my ability to get deep sleep at night. My legs hurt so bad I could cry. After br...
