I've not heard of it! So, I did a quick search on Yahoo. m This site (the only one I found) says the rapid leg thing is another term for nocturnal myoclonus. That is an outdated term for PLMD - periodic limb movement disorder. So, my guess is that the doctor is saying he has PLMD - but I would ask t...

There are many other meds to try. I am with you - 6 mg is an awful lot to take without good effects. I've heard one of the research doctors say that after you get to a certain point, increasing these drugs doesn't provide much additional help. You could see if Mirapex worked better. Maybe your docto...

Lyn, it's possible that some people may have done it and just not responded here. With all of the members we have, many of them are not regulars. It can be several weeks between visits. And, I think most of our readers are not regular posters, but lurkers. It was a great idea and one that all of the...

Celiac disease causes the villi in the intestines to stop absorbing nutrients and also causes neurological problems. Over time the toll on the body is tremendous. Many people can even have it without most or even any of the symptoms. For him, since his villi stopped absorbing, he couldn't get any ca...

Wish I had some direct knowledge, but don't. Spinal/back problems, surgery or even injections can all cause the start or worsening of RLS, so I would imagine any procedure that involves the spinal area would be of concern. On the other hand, how difficult it must be to have all that pain from the di...

Hi Karl, Like Jan said, it sounds like you have really been through the wringer. Ugh. I've been through a few meds myself and am now on methadone. For me, it's still working. I don't have much pain, though, mostly just the horrid feeling that makes my skin crawl just thinking about . I had a couple ...

Hi Cal, Can't say I'd ever heard of this until you mentioned it, so I went to the site. I am always a bit skeptical when I see sites like this one - lot's of marketing hype and not much substance. They hide the ingredients behind statements like, "You'll never believe how this was developed!" and ot...

Excellent! It is SOOOO nice that you like him. It's tough to have a MIL or FIL that dislikes you and it is so hard to see your child marry someone that you don't think is the best choice. I bet you will now be a very busy mom helping her prepare (unless they are doing some non-traditional). I hope y...

Hi ladies, Ceasaree, I posted a response to you somewhere else. Pat, welcome to the board; how nice to offer to moderate! I'll look forward to getting to know you on the board. Pat, sounds like you need to switch to something else, at least during the day. It can't be good to have you like that. I a...

Welcome, Ceasaree, Glad you found us, and hope that something here will help. All that pain must be really difficult. I haven't heard of Requip causing that, but that doesn't mean it isn't the Requip! Maybe someone else will say, "Yep! Happened to me." These medication do strange things, no question...

Jeanie, as Hazel said, the nerve conduction is simply to determine if you have neuropathy. Neuropathy is one cause of secondary RLS. Jeanie, this is really important. You CAN have celiac disease and test negative through bloodwork. The bloodwork test is not perfect. First of all, you MUST be eating ...

Jeannie, what a difficult winter it has been for you. I can only imagine how frustrated you are. You are still sick and people aren't communicating well with you. Can anyone go with you to your doctor's appointments? When we are sick and don't feel well, we don't always remember to ask enough questi...
