Welcome to Cameo

Welcome to

Cameo, who is desperate. RLS has now moved into arms and shoulders. She developed it as a very young child and is now 76. She dreads nightfall. She gets some relief from taking half an oxycodone from a serious surgery but that will be gone soon.

Please post a note telling us about the other things that you are doing to manage your RLS and whether you think that you doctor would be willing to prescribe oxycodone for your RLS. Managing our disease is difficult and the information that we can share with each can often make all the difference.

Welcome to

Lizzie37, who has been suffering from RLS since she was a child. She is now 50 and the severity has increased drastically and is totally affecting the quality of her life. She found this site and have been reading in order to be better prepared to meet with her neurologist next week.

We are happy that you have been finding the information that you need to prepare for your appointment with your neurologist next week. Feel free to post a note with any questions that you have and please tell us how things go after your appointment next week.
