Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi Jenny, It's funny how some medications work for some and not for others, and how these medications will be problematic with adverse effects for some people, and for others, no problems at all.

Your need to stretch "deeply" while at your desk is exactly what I experience while lying in bed. I think I do it subconsciously while half-asleep at night, and it's the resulting sciatic pain that's waking me. As for what I'm taking for the RLS...I have no options with my current Neurologists.
