Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

They always talk about issues with passing the BBB for certain stuff, can't they just like inject something directly?

I see, but we don't really know for sure what causes it right? Because I saw that post with the research that showed people with normal iron still had it (and people posting their experience). Really wish we knew more about our brains. All the neurological issues/diseases we don't know what causes i...

Great, so I have something else doctors can't figure out. My tensing doesn't happen for a split second, it's gradual slow and constant, where I have to focus on the muscle to relax it before the process begins again. I also get tingling too. Sometimes when the tensing is very minimal, there is tingl...

Well dopamine is the opposite not chemically but in the circadian ryhtyhm. When you are producing melatonin your body is reducing dopamine and visa versa. Peak dopamine production is in the early morning hours, which is why RLs suffers get most relief in morning/earlier in the day. Dopamine producti...

Not sure how to edit a post, but I guess I was just clarifying it's not a sensation but my muscles physically tensing up, and if anyone else had that manifestation? I've been unable to find anyone else describe it like that.

Well I'm not saying its "hard to describe". My muscles are literally tensing up. Like. If I rest my forearm on my knee such that my hand is completely hanging and relax. The hand will droop to a 90% angle with my forearm. Then over the course of a minute, if I am doing something else. My f...

I've been taking very small doses (2-3.75.mg) of mirtiazpine for the past 3 years to cope with ineffective CPAP. It really would help me sleep decently on nights I used it. Aware of the perils of neurotransmitter affecting drugs, I made sure to use it only 1-2 twice a week at most and very small dos...

This past winter I started getting muscle tension in my calves at night. I thought it was RLS, It would often happen at like 3-5am and make it hard to fall back to sleep (also have sleep apnea). I just kind of dealt with it because I hears RLS is common in people with sleep apnea. But about a month ...
