Susan, I'm an engineer and have been thinking that such a device might work. I've been thinking about trying to build such a device for some time now. A friend of mine found this in the skymall catalog recently. My RLS is confined to my calves and feet. I tried pressure wraps but that doesn't help. ...

I've had RLS for 30 years. Sometimes beer will drive me absolutely nuts...sometimes it doesn't effect the RLS at all. A few years ago I took a Dristan pill because I had a sinus infection. I thought I was going to go crazy with my legs. I keep hearing about ice cream being bad. Don't know about that...

ebooks

I bought one of the ebook cures.
The cure was to totally eliminate salt from your diet.
Salt is necessary for proper health. I didn't see anyway to totally eliminate it with out quitting my job, leaving my family and moving into the mountains to live with the bears.

UPDATE -RE Augmentation

I'm glad I came back to review my old posts. It's a good history that I otherwise wouldn't have. It's been 8 months since I posted using 2mg/Requip and .5mg/Clonazapam. I'm having more incidence of the meds not working and having to take a second dose. In the beginning life was predictable. I would ...

On Requip for ~2 years

I've been taking Requip/Ropinerol for ~ 2 years. After the ramp up kit, I took 1mg for about a year then had to bump up to 2 mg. Now the 2mg is getting questionable. I'm getting RLS during the day now and the 2mg doesn't always work. Now I'm taking .5mg of Clonazapam and 2mg Requip. Seems to be work...

New to the Organization, Old to the syndrome

I'm new to this site so I'm not sure where to put my story so I'll put it here. My earliest memory of RLS was in the early 80's. I remember wrapping my legs in heavy duty Ace Bandages thinking that would help...it didn't. I didn't know the letters RLS until the mid 90's when I read about it in a Sun...
