Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

At age 51 my RLS is cured. I had a stone stuck in my billiary system-distal common bile duct. MRCP showed dilation in the billiary system. I had an ERCP to remove the stone. I can drink coffee and eat chocolate with zero RLS symptoms. As far as I can tell a stone can disrupt digestion which is why we become malnourished with unsettling domino effect of symptoms. I cant wait for coffee tomorrow morning.

Glad that you were able to find a solution for your RLS. Yes, disruption of your digestive system can cause you to not adsorb iron correctly. So, your ferritin level was probably extremely low. Increasing your iron by restoring proper digestion would cause your RLS symptoms do disappear.

However, you still have a tendacy towards RLS that will increase with age. So, if symptoms return, concentrate on oral iron supplements with vitamin C to manage any need to move or insomnia.
