additional medication??
I am so glad to be on something other than the Sinemet, that I will be content for a bit. I was on neurotin years ago for Migrane Headaches, among other things, but was taken off of it.....don't know why. I am satisfied with the requip right now at least to see how long it works.....

You are most welcome for the questionaire completion. I was able to sleep last night without the sinemet during the night. But this morning I am having some difficulty.

thanks for the clarificatin
I think I would have been a lot more comfortable. But honestly, I never knew there was anything wrong. One night a nurse woke me up as she was making bed check in the hospital. She said "Pat, are you alright"?I resonded with "yes, do I not look alright"? She told me that I was thrashing. I had no id...

Yes me too
I am so glad that I am not the only KID who has the history of the RLS that was undiagnosed. I am sorry you did not get the parental careing. My mom was ugly to me but my dad was a sweetie. Later he would get "the chills" and we would run and wrap him in blankets to warm him up. He died at the age ...

though I would say thank you for the welcome and for the news that a younger person has had the doctors looking into RLS as a potential problem. I know now that I have had this problem for years. As a child I would wake up crying at night with the "leg aches" and my dad would rub my legs with liname...

I thought it was just me
Hello, Silly me! I thought it was just me and no one would ever display the thrashing of the legs like me. And, after all it was during the night so no one would see me. But, soon I was to discover that it is a full blown disease of its own......Wow. I am still coming to grips with the fact that I ...

Hello, I was just looking around and saw your question about Requip. I too was just started on this medication. I had been on Sinemet and it made me so much worse it was not even funny. But, they suggested (they meaning the groups of dosctors I saw)I not come off the Sinemet cold turkey, so I took ...
