Welcome to WarriorMonk, who has had RLS/WED for a number of years but just had knee replacement and the RLS/WED has gone into overdrive.

We're sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for RLS/WED to worsen after an operation. Have a look around and see if we can be of any help. If you have questions, feel free to start a post.

Gjoevan - who has suffered for 30 years and tried many things with varying degrees of success.

Many of us have been sufferers of long standing, we look forward to hearing how you have coped so far.

September 10th, welcome to:

Yankiwi - who's had WED a long time and had recently started ropinerole.

Glad to hear it's working. There is a lot of information on the board about maximum doses (lower than they used to be) and the need to have your serum ferritin at or above 100 when taking ropinerole or pramipexole. We're happy to answer any questions you have - or just jump in and start chatting with us however you prefer.
