Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thank you, Holland.

It's unfortunate that drugs like Pramipexole are not safer for taking for longer periods as they really help with the RLS. As you know, I'm on 0.125 mg and I can tell you that right now I am totally RLS-free, so to speak. Too bad that this will not last forever.

Hi everyone, A question for the more knowledgeable members of this great forum: Pramipexole has a relatively short half-life (8-12 hours). If the tablets are immediate release, then is there any systematic dopamine build-up while taking the drug regularly (like with antidepressants, etc.)? Or does t...

Thank you, Bridgercan

Yes, memories. I remember as a child giving my dad foot massages because I was convinced that he was suffering a lot. Maybe, unconsciously I was preparing myself for the massages I would give myself much later in life

A good article about propolis in general: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4964312/

Thank you, Holland. I am very lucky for having a very understanding GP. She listens. Every time I need to do some blood work she asks me what I want to check besides the usual parameters (cholesterol, liver function, etc.). Then I am free to say: Magnesium, Zinc, hormones, whatever :) I am sure that...

Thank you very much, Betty

Hello everyone, I decided to join this forum just now, but I have been reading/following many of its members and their struggle with RLS. I have had RLS for many years without knowing that it was a disease. My father had it and my sister has it. We always thought it was something genetic (which is) ...
