I believe you are in the right place. There are many people here who are very well educated about RLS. Over the next couple days, I am sure you will get some very good advice. I think you should request a referral to a Neurologist with knowledge of RLS. It seems that they are the most qualified. I a...

RLS t.v. commercial
I saw a 30 second commercial for RLS by Glaxo-Smith Co. last night. It talks about the creepy crawly tingling feelings and how it causes sleep deprivation because movement relieves the sensations and that 1 out of 10 Americans suffer from it. They also advertise a website, but I'm not sure what the ...

I posted awhile back with symptoms around my eyes while having an RLS episode. It only happened on that one night and the next day I thought maybe it was just my imagination, but I remember it hurt my eyes cause I would roll them far up in an effort to relieve the sensations, kind of like I stretch ...

RLS and blood flow problems
I have Lupus and RLS and know that many Fibro people also have RLS. I got some new blood test that showed anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, a clotting disorder and a brain MRI showed hard plaque restricting blood flow to the brain causing my migraines and cognitive dysfunction (confusion). I have...

I saw my rheumatologist this morning. I asked about Sinemet vs. Requip, she said that Requip is stronger with more side effects and usually prescribed by a neuro. I haven't seen a neuro yet, but am having a brain MRI next week. Sinemet is working very well for me, with no side effects, so no med cha...

blackouts, confusion due to fatigue
Anyone have problems with short blackouts with confusion? I have talked to my docs about this and they aren't concerned unless I go unconscience. They say it is from fatigue. When my body feels like an electrical power station, and I'm especially tired, I don't drive. In the past, when I find myself...
