Yes, I have been working with a doctor who is referring me to a neurologist. I take five medications a night to sort of, kind of sleep. One is Fe.

I hope the neurologist is familiar with the up to date treatment of rls. What are the five medications that you are taking to 'kind of sleep'. Sleep is often our biggest issue.
Have you had your blood ferritin serum checked. This is very important and as a sufferer of rls you want to have a level of about 100 regardless that 20 is generally considered satisfactory. This check is not done in normal blood checks and you need to request it.
