I've been dealing w/RLS for about 8 years, which I'm told by my Dr. is a side effect of the PKD (polysistic kidney disease) I have.
Even though I have 100% kidney function, I am experiencing numerous side effects of the disease (HBP, RLS, pre-Diabetes...) and subsequently on numerous meds.
Since the Clonazepam I was prescribed was also bringing me down, I wanted to try natural things. For a while I was doing really well without the meds then I moved and had to go back on meds.
However, now I'm off the meds and have resumed my routine of walking almost daily, taking a hot bath or jumping in the jaccuzi and then going to bed when I first feel tired instead of trying to 'stay up to get this or that done'.
With those 3 things in my arsenol, majority of the time I am able to relax and fall asleep before the RLS kicks in.
Best wishes to everyone... I pray we all find something that works for us!
