March 30th
welcome to fraz5407, who has severe WED/RLS. So sorry to know you suffer like that! Make yourself at home here, start a new Topic to tell us about yourself and ask questions.

Welcome also to Lslanina, who survived Hodgkin's lymphoma but developed WED/RLS from the chemo. After trying the two DAs, which lost effectiveness, and gabapentin which was ineffective, Neupro 3mg patch seems to be keeping things under control. Lslanina, your story is interesting. I haven't heard much about chemo drugs and WED/RLS, I'm sure a lot of us would like to know more.

I just did a quick search for similar problems, and it seems to be very common for people taking chemo, even without Benadryl, to get peripheral neuropathies and WED/RLS.
