Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

It isn't a typo. It's right off the lab report. I read it to Dr B on Friday and he didn't seem concerned.
Maybe I'll ask for the infusion.

Hi Beth.
It's not. I checked my paperwork again and it is 18.
Is that bad?

Thanks for your responses Beth and Betty! Betty- it's weird. My hands and arms shake on and off. But I also feel shaky inside, not nervous though. It's hard to describe (like the RLS sensation!) so the best I can say is that I feel like my whole inside is buzzing. I had 2 calls with Dr B on Friday. ...

Hello! I’ve been reading but have never posted. I am thankful everyone is here sharing their stories. I have had RLS to some extent as long as I can remember. As I kid I wouldn’t be able to sleep due to “wiggling”. I managed it though my early 40’s, with 1-3 nights per month where I did not sleep at...
