Re: Could it be more than RLS?
Yes, that is the test. He has confirmed RLS, but he wants to see something is causing it and I am wondering if the test often showed other peripheral nerve problems to make it worth the pain. I suppose it is always good to eliminate other causes, I just don't want to have unnecessary tests if it is ...

Re: Could it be more than RLS?
My neurologist is recommending I have a nerve study done to see if my symptoms indicate more than RLS. Has anyone else had this done? Did it help?

Re: Chiropractor
I had my first chiropractor visit today and have some hope he can help me. While I am generally quite flexible and do dynamic stretching, he noticed my right hip is stiff and I compensate by over using my quads. My restless legs always present in my quads, so this is encouraging. He did an adjustmen...

Chiropractor
I have never gone to a chiropractor in my life, but am going to see one next week for restless legs. Does anyone have any advice/tips for me? Thank you!

Re: Horizant
Wow, thank you. My doctor told me 3 mg is the typical dose. Going off is scary, but I will use this forum to see how I can do that without going crazy from lack of sleep.

Re: Horizant
I take 600 mg of Horizant and 2mg of ropinirole. The highest dose of my ropinirole has been 3 mg. I can sleep through the night on 2mg of ropinirole, but my legs (my quads) are most problematic between 6:30 and 9:00 PM. My neurologist decided today Horizant isn’t helping, so I will stop taking it. I...

Horizant
I’ve been taking Horizant for 2 1/2 weeks and it isn’t working for me, at least not yet. My Doctor wants me to try for another week but I am noticing some side effects and cannot sleep at night without taking Ropinoirole too. How long has it taken Horizant to work for others? Can I just stop taking ...

Stressless Chairs
Good morning! Has anyone tried buying an Ekorne stressless chair? I have noticed my restless legs can be better or worse in the evening based on what chair I sit in, so I am assuming my sitting posture affects my symptoms. The chairs are very expensive and want to hear from others before I make the ...
