RLS and Obesity
As a follow-up to my original post: Personally, yours truly "discovered" RLS in 2000 on a two week vacation in Greece and Turkey, have had RLS since then. I don't have a "gut" as the pictures portray even though my weight usually goes up five to ten pounds in the Winter since my ...

Cabergoline and RLS
Well, the RLS forum has answered my question relative to Cabergoline. Thanks to all for advise! Obviously Cabergoline should be used with care and yours truly will not use it unless my PCP and/or RLS specialist would prescribe given the studies about heart valve damage. Last evening was pretty good ...

Cabergoline and RLS
Fellow Members, This is just curiosity on my part, not saying will revert to this medication- BUT here it is. In Dr. Buchfuhrer's book "Restless Leg Syndrome" (excellent read and medical advise), Chapter 6- Treating Daily RLS with Medication-Cabergoline is listed as a long acting drug that...

RLS and Acupuncture
That's really similar to my experience; the first three were great. Then the legs started during the sessions. I hope that it doesn't continue to do so and that this was an isolated event. Thanks Ann, I hope it was an isolated event, feel like a real "trial-baloon" for the lady performing ...

Acupuncture Update
Fourth Acupuncture Visit on 8/28/08: Needles inserted in same locations as previous visit. Here is the oddity, while lying on stomach my calves started to "creep and crawl" every three minutes for that thirty minute session. Acupuncturist is trying to isolate particular meridian(s) to &quo...

Requip for RLS
ViewsAskew wrote: "If you are augmenting, stopping the Requip may be very tough. For some reason - maybe the receptors resetting - once you augment the RLS goes NUTS when you stop the Requip. According to at least three RLS researcher/specialists, the only way through this is to suffer horrendo...

Requip and Panic Attacks
No, I've been on Requip for two years with no panic. My dilemna at present is the onset of Augmentation since RLS symptoms are occuring earler, say 1 PM.

RLS and Ropinole (Requip)
I'll second the recommendation the moderator made, for myself I take Requip a good hour before RLS symptoms commence. My RLS usually starts around 7 to 7:30 PM, so I take it around 6:30 to control the sensations. My concern these days is that augmentation may be starting since my symptoms are as ear...
