Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi Ladybug what mgs are you taken with the ropinirole? With these meds it is smart to start out with the lowest dosage. I know when I took requip they started me on the starter pak which went from .25mg up to 1mg. When she filled my prescription she did it for 2mg and that is when I started to augme...

Hi Ladybug Before taking any iron supplements, I would see your dr first and see if your ferritin leven (iron deficiency) is below 50. Talk to your dr and see what he says. Remember no question is stupid. We are all here to get info and support and we learn from each other. Take care and hope to see...

I'm humbled by everyone's concern...thank you. I have another question or 2 that maybe you can help me with... When you start on medication that is used for RLS as well as for PD...do you experience hallucinations? Can you drive a car? Generally, how is the quality of life? Can you live a normal li...

Hi Ladybug and welcome to this site. I am so sorry to hear what you are going through and so sorry to hear about your mom having Parkinson's disease. The dr that you are going to now does he have any knowledge of rls? Also you had mentioned that you are thinking of seeing a neurologist. This forum y...

I know that my b/w when I first started seeing my neurologist was 50 and he wanted it between 100 - 150. He put me on a low iron tablet and when I had the last b/w it was 135 so for me the iron table worked. Also I have noticed since our weather is not as hot and humid as it was my rls is doing much...

Oh WAM I am so sorry to hear about your insurance agent. i agree about paying for 26 yrs and look what happens.

Hey Lynne
Thanks for this info. Hubby has real bad sinuses so I will keep this in mind.

Take care my friend.

OMG I was reading everyone's post and I am so sorry about the damage this storm did to everyone. I have been saying prayers for everyone that you are all kept safe. Like Lynne said that I have been in contact with Cyndi and Rich. In fact Rich called me as I know Cyndi knew that I was worried and let...

Hey Nadia I am so glad that you had a great birthday. You more than deserve it gf. Have a good day today and congrats on catching the stingray.

I used to fish and it was alot of fun. Will have to do it again one of these days.

I am happy that this is working for you. One thing to remember is what works for one may not work for another. I have had rls (painful) for over 20 yrs and I have tried alot of what you had mentioned and did not work for me. Like I said what works for one may not work for another. I hope that this c...
