Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Zach, I'm glad you are in control. I'm a newcomer to this forum and a life long sufferer from RLS. I have tried every med know to treat RSL and still nothing really works. I don't know your history so you are right, I probably spoke out of line. My concern is several of your comments in this thread ...

Zach, please get some help from your Dr before you OD. You sound a lot like my sister who ended up drowning in her own vomit. Not a good way to go out. Drug addiction can be treated with honesty and a will to get better. Good luck, David

A friend of mine went to a sales pitch for an outfit that sells magnet pads. One of the things mentioned was a magnet matress pad would cure RSL. Anyone heard of this or tried. Thanks

I have sufferred all my life with RLS, have tried all the usual drugs(Requip, Mirapex, Sinemet, Neurotin, and a few others) with no relief.
