Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I can sympathize.I think my survey was too vauge(sp). All I can say is I've had this dreadful affliction for many decades so I don't remember everything and sometimes I just try to forget about it(like thats realistic.) jumpyowl,I forgot to say I was also on Ambien and Neurotin at different times wi...

Where exactly is this info going? To a group of Dr.'s I hope! I've come to the conclusion that there needs to be at least 2 groups of meds given to RLS patients so that we can alternate them.I've kinda been doing that with the help of Medicine Mexico and some old drugs I had here. It seems to be hel...

Don't forget I plan on doing another after my sleep study this month.
I can't wait!

The RLS attacks either side and is extremely annoying to say the least. Since you mentioned 1 side do you have PLMD too? Just curious. Anyway,I've gotten...

jumpyowl,how did your visit to the Doctor go? We're you able to get the Ultram?

Hi Hubby,I just started here too.I've been posting under the topic" Urge not to move". I am so relieved to have found someone with the exact symptoms as mine.When I tell a provider or anyone for that matter they look at me like i'm crazy..Like you my butt,arms ahoulders are involved and they move al...

thanks jumpyowl, Neuro didn't say what my iron level was only that it's ok.I will ask for numbers when I see him.If push comes to shove i'll switch back over to bc/bs til the next open season to get the help i need.I'm retired federal and any plan I choose has to take pre-existing conditions.I just ...

I'd like to give a brief history.I began having problems with sleep about 25 years ago. My GP tried all kinds of different pills,alot were antidepressants.None worked til Imipramine.I slept fine with it for about 10 years then the Imipramine gave me high blood pressure.After alot of other drugs that...
