Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Wantok, I've only seen a recommendation of 1 iron pill daily on supplement bottles with lots of warnings that iron is dangerous. I'm new to iron and my naturopath prescribed me 2 25mg Bisglycinate Iron at twice a day. Recently she upped that to 3 pills twice a day. At first I was nervous to take so ...

I'm continuing a discussion started in "Just Joined," that mentioned Medical Marijuana Transdermal Patches....http://bb.rls.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9589 The transdermal patches by Mary's Medicinals are both awesome and expensive. You apply the patch to a veiny area like your ankle, top...

Unfortunately, I have no experience with time release Iron...if you don't get a response from someone here soon, you could start a new topic in Non-Prescriptions Medicines and ask others. You'll surely get helpful responses. So glad you found some relief with the Paregoric! My only suggestion is to ...

Hello Wantok, Welcome to our group...the people here are awesome. Your symptom description sounds very similar to mine.

Thanks NatWest, but cooking mj is not an option for me. My neighbors wouldn't tolerate the smell and would get us kicked us out. Hi Steve, I'm wondering if you might be able to do your cooking/baking in a rentable commercial kitchen, or a place that teaches cooking classes? The process does make a ...

I should also note that I highly respect Dr Buchfuhrer and his suggestion of Gabapentin. I have not considered Gabapentin for my current rotation because I understand that it takes weeks to start working, so probably not a good rotation medication. I'm doing the rotation partly to allow my serum fer...

Hi NatWest, I've watched your cannabis experimentation with keen interest. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge! RLS hit me hard and fast last August 2015. My naturopath suggested MM so I tried many of the products. I had hoped to report my findings to this group as you had but my results w...

Hi! I'm new to this forum and so thankful to all of you for sharing information. I have PLMS that keeps me from falling asleep, and wakes me up many times until morning. I'm wondering if anyone using cannabis has had relief from PLMS? I've visited both Washington state recreational and medical dispe...
