Re: New Uer - RLS Since Young Age

I'm glad the medication is working for you rustsmith, that sounds like hell. If my issues are migraine related I have been lucky that they are silent.

Re: New Uer - RLS Since Young Age

I am afraid to take medication because of the side effects but also because I have heard of rls worsening. Because I am still relatively young it would be rather unfortunate if my rls gets permanently worse. I'm hoping I can use "home remedies" to help reduce the severity of my symptoms un...

I don't remember my exact age but around 14 years ago my left leg fell asleep as it sometimes does if its in an odd position. My father massaged my leg for me to get the blood flowing and wake my leg ...
