RLS and Acupuncture

Post by bigu47 »

Hello Folks,

Any RLS persons tried Acupuncture as alternative treatment? Just completed my second visit, acupuncturist indicated three to six visit for
treatment. Somewhat skeptical- but willing to try different approach.

I'm currently on Requip 2 mg. twice daily, but noticed augmentation starting since my symptoms are occuring as early as 1 PM.

Hope all of you have a nice day!

Lee N.
