One other thought. What prompted my question was the fact that so many people notice an effect on their RLS symptoms by factors that do not seem to be related to RLS, or to each other. Or at least not known to be. I know one person whose RLS disappeared after eliminating concentrated sugar from her ...

Thank you all for the explanations. I have had RLS for nearly 7 years. It has the classic symptoms. And my google results do give a definition of neuropathy. But I can find nothing about the difference between RLS and an underlying neuropathy which causes RLS symptoms. Maybe that's a better way to p...

Neuropathy vs RLS
Can someone explain the difference between neuropathy and RLS? Are they even related? Can you mistake one for the other? I've googled the subjects, and wound up even more confused.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Polar Bear, I've not heard of Ultram. But I am very familiar with otherwise good doctors who don't much about RLS. The Klonopin was a supplement to Requip, because Requip doesn't quite do it for me either. And I can't increase the Requip, because apparently it causes my blood pressure to drop too mu...

Klonopin Follow-up
2 weeks is enough to cause problems in the very sensitive, but a month is what they consider to be the cut off point. At three months you'd probably have had difficulty if you were sensitive to it, so sounds like it won't be an issue for you. Then again, our body chemistry changes so it's possible ...

hexylia, Welcome to the forum! I've had RLS for 5 years. Mine has never involved pain. It is always a crawling feeling. Yes, walking makes mine go away. Also, riding in a car does not seem to invoke the symptoms for me. And if I'm on a long drive, then that night my symptoms are usually less severe....

My neurologist just put me on 325mg Ferrous Sulfate. One per day to start out with. Because of the possibility of upset stomach and constipation. I told him don't be so quick to knock constipation. It might be a gas. Just picked up the prescription this morning. Will post the results after a week or...
