Re: 5-htp
I found mention of 5-htp in relation to Parkinson's and other movement disorders. It seems that some people with RLS do benefit from it. I am taking it myself for sleep but I don't have RLS. It is also appears to be safe if not used in conjunction to some other drugs. I am, however, hesitant to give...

Re: new diagnosis child
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately no, our daughter has not been taking any of the usual triggers of RLS, not even ice-cream. Celiac is also out -- she had a genetic test because her father does have celiac. You use the phrase "when RLS is active". Can you explain that? So far, our exper...
