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.
