Re: Welcome to Brady
Friday 3 March 2017
Today, welcome to
Brady - whose son has pretty severe RLS and the medications all have affected him negatively.
Your son is very fortunate to have someone to look out for him and to care about how this disease and the medications can be such a trial. Please post and tell us some background information and we will try to help.

Welcome to ranchgirl
Monday, March 13
Welcome to
ranchgirl, who had minor issues with RLS since early 20s and is now 65. It has become troublesome over the past 5-6 years. Requip helped for a couple of months, then she had to move to oxycodone. Now, even that isn't helping. She lives and works on a ranch. Riding is her life and riding seriously exacerbates the RLS.
Take a look around to see if you can find any ideas that might be worth trying. And feel free to post a note with any question so that we can try to make some suggestions for you.

Please look around and then post a note telling us a bit more. From your description, it sounds like you were diagnosed with PLMS. Did they also tell you that you have RLS?
