Allergies and RLS

RLS occurs more frequently in certain populations, including people with end-stage renal disease, women during pregnancy, and people with iron deficiency. Also, RLS/WED in the elderly and children brings other challenges. Sharing your experiences may be extraordinarily helpful to others.

Dear Beetles,

Many of the OTC and prescribed medications for allergy treatment will aggravate RLS symptoms. Read through the New to RLS post its and pay particular attention to medications to avoid. It may not be the allergy but the allergy medication which is aggravating your symptoms.
