I found Requip 2mg good for a couple of weeks. Now still not so bad, but would have some difficult nights. Tried biting off a little piece of the tablet at about 8.30 pm (about a third of a pill), then at 10.30pm taking the rest together with 300mg magnesium for burning feet. Don't know if the magne...

Oh please no... Requip is working for me at present, let's not have weight gain as well, cos I could do with losing 7 lbs for a wedding in 4 weeks!!!
bye for now, with lips sealed Betty

Hi there, yeah I lie on my tummy with knees bent and legs in the air, feet wiggling, to get some relief, (sometimes). or to make it thru to the end of a movie, obviously when at home!!

Hi, I only joined a week or so ago, and certainly was at first like you rather alarmed to see how many people continue to just try and cope with symptoms year after year.

Hopefully it will save me filling a bucket with really cold water in the middle of the night! I am findin...

Hi, just read these posts about magnesium and will certainly try it for burning feet. Only other thing I do is a bucket of really cold water for 10 minutes - I find this cools things off for a couple of hours. Thanks, Betty

About an aisle seat for my long journey, which is N.Ireland to London Heathrow then direct to North Western Canada there are 6 of us travelling and we have managed to pre-book 2 ro...

By the way folks, for those new to this, ropinerole is also known as Requip.

Hi, I am a female aged 57 and for nearly 30 years suffered from rls, getting much worse over the last 10-15 years. Medical Consultant did circulatory tests in my legs but really I was told more or less I had to live with it. Working in an office I get to walk about as required, but theatre, cinema, ...
