Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
When you say your iron levels are around 100, make sure this is your Ferritin Serum level. When I tapered from 5mg Requip I did it much slower than most folk. It took me 10 months doing very minimal reductions at a time and I did it without difficulty. However, I also had the support of Pregabalin a...

Re: Reversing Restless Leg Syndrome
I don't believe there is a miracle cure for RLS. I don't believe either that it can be reversed.... my opinion only. However, it may be possible to control the symptoms. Your dosages of Mirapex/pramipexol/requip have been way too high. When I was first started on Requip is around 2007 the leaflet in...

Re: looking for a RLS melbourne, australia
A GP can be wonderful if you can educate them and they are willing to kearn. The link in my signature would be a good start for guidance. If you provide some information about your mum's treatment perhaps we could advise. Has she had her ferritin serum checked. It would be best to be up around 100. ...

Re: Sorbolene Lotion experience that seems to have worked
I have no idea why this works so well for you. Sometimes there can be a placebo effect but this usually does not last. We often say here that what works for one does not necessarily work for another - usually referring to medication - but this moisturiser is working for you and long may it continue....
