Oh my goodness, 5 years to drop 10mg Oxy, a warrior indeed. The path of an RLS sufferer is a long and winding road.
Good luck.

Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
We are always hopeful for some improvement with continued research.
However, at present, I don't believe there is a miracle cure for RLS

Re: Where do I go from here?
My apologies. I was thinking of the 20+ that is often accepted as normal. Your ferritin is of course 44.

Re: Where do I go from here?
Your doctor has accepted that 20 is normal. We know that an rls sufferer needs to be up around 100. You could show him the Mayo Algorithm in my signature, in particular the section near the top where it refers to this and to the benefits of iron therapy.

Re: Where do I go from here?
Well... You got rid of your rls symptoms with .5mg ropinerole and found some peace. When desperate we feel we'd do anything. Ropinerole actually works better if taken before (perhaps an hour) the time symptoms would be expected rather than when they are active. If done this way is it possible that t...

Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
I hope you have a seamless switch from the Gabapentin to the Pregabaline. Good luck on your journey.

Re: Methadone causing Sleep Apnea?
I only ever sleep on my right side. A neck condition prevents otherwise. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 4 years ago.
As regards moisture, I have no idea. I don't use water with my cpap and my apneas are very low. At diagnosis they were 20 and using the cpap are around 1.
