Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thanks for your replies, it's great to hear from people in the same boat. Sorry to hear about your cancer, dogeyed. As if having RLS wasn't enough. I don't know what happened last night but there was not a peep from my legs. Wonderful night's sleep! I will give it a bit longer to see how I do on my ...

Hi all! I'm up and about at 2.30 am with my legs going wild so thought I'd come and visit here. The RLS has started breaking through in the night for the last week, I started a new med 2 weeks ago (beclametasone inhaler) - I was doing a search on here to see if that drug made RLS worse and the only ...

I'm just so tired of people saying, "just go to bed earlier - you'll get more sleep" or "don't watch TV before bed" or "don't drink caffeine".... like we've never tried or thought of those things. And i try so hard not to get upset when people say that they're tired an...

Hi, it's me again (Sleepy Elanor!). Sorry to keep pestering you lot, it's just that as I am new to it all I'm trying to find out as much as possible. Three more questions, if you don't mind: I just came across this website called www.restlesslegscured.com/miracle_cure.htm telling me I can be free fr...

Thanks. I'm going back to the dr tomorrow (Saturday), unfortunately I end up seeing someone different each time but I'll see if I get on any better this time around. I tried a hot water bottle on my legs last night and it was quite nice, I actually got a few bouts of sleep which added up to about 5 ...

My first question to you is, did your RLS just come on suddenly? You mentioned 3 weeks. Daily RLS can come on that quickly, but may have a cause if it does. Second question: did your doctor test the following: diabetes, thyroid, B12, folate, ferritin, and hemoglobin? All of these can be factors in ...

Hi, I'm newly diagnosed and at the moment my doctor has told me to spend some time just watching my diet and doing some exercise. After reading through these forums, I am scared about reaching a point where I have to have drugs to get me through. At the moment, I get between about 3 hrs and 6 hrs sl...

Thanks for all your replies. I have checked out all the links and there's nothing that mentions my type of steroid, I guess I'll have to do a trial and error on it. It is good to have other people to discuss things with - after I made my original post my RLS got worse than ever, I couldn't even sit ...

Hi, I'm new and only just diagnosed with RLS, I live in the UK. I used to just get 'jumpy legs' occasionally during the night but could go straight back to sleep. Then, maybe 6 weeks ago, if I didn't get to sleep within about half hour of going to bed, the RLS would start. But after getting up for a...
