26, Nov - Wednesday

We welcome lalanab88, who has fibromyalgia, and now also has WED/RLS in the back and arms. It's not my legs, though, it's my back and arms. Looking for specifics on treatment - walking isn't as helpful for this!

Please look around, read and post when you are ready. Many of us have symptoms in other body parts. That said, it's somewhat rare to have it in the upper body and not also in the legs. Not impossible, but not very common. Post about your symptoms and we can help you determine if it's WED (just to make sure) and how to deal with it.

Welcome to

Anna, is trying to wean off Mirapex but can't find another way to control my symptoms and is looking for information and help.
Please take a look the existing threads. You will find quite a bit about getting off of Mirapex (pramipexole) as well as the alternatives to this medication. Please feel free to post a new question if you don't find what you are looking for.

Franklin, who is tired on having RLS and would like someone to talk to about this, what has been tried and real life experiences.
That is why we are here. Please post a note on the topic or join an existing discussion on the topic(s) that most interest you.
