Welcome to

Kenz1, whose life time of RLS.....(scream!)....

We can all relate. Please post a note telling us what you are doing to manage your RLS. Perhaps we can offer some suggestions for improvement.

Welcome to

Jothehiker, whose life has been pretty much obliterated with RLS this past year. Her previous treatments stopped working, and the new meds are causing so much mood disorder. Her depression and anger are at an all time high.

Please post a note telling us about your meds (and doses) so that we can try to provide some suggestions to discuss with your doctor.

Welcome to

martin_bch, who works with many people with RLS and this board is a good way to meet others and see what they have done and to see what has and has not worked. And to possibly to contribute some things that have worked with others he is working with.

We are always open to new ideas and look forward to your contributions.

Welcome to

karl2005united, whose RLS started in 2012. The 1st time he didn't sleep for 6 nights. Now in 2020 he takes oxycodone, pregabalin and various anti-depressants. He used to teach but had to resign in 2016 and after all dopamine agonists augmenting he is on his last medication. Luckily he sees a fantastic neurologist in the UK.

Sounds like you are in pretty good shape right now as far as your treatments. Please post a note asking any questions that you have or simply join into any of our ongoing discussions.
