Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I have used kratom for almost 6 months now. It still works wonders, and I have not had to increase my dosage. I ended up taking about 2 tsp each night and have stuck with that for at least 4 months. I prefer a half-and-half mixture of Primo Indo and Premium Bali -- the Indo is better-tasting (less b...

I had a medical procedure (non-RLS related) and was under conscious sedation with memory erasing meds. I woke up with a big bruise on my shin -- they told me my restless legs...
