Need help, New here... but not RLS

Post by Trina Marie »

I have been on probably every medication there is for RLS without avail. Right now I am on Klonopin and Tramadol, with little relief. I have it night and day to the point where movement barely reliefs discomfort. My question is about Epidural, or Infusion pump. I am 25 years old and I don't sleep. My days are filled with hot baths and trying to stay busy. I have had several sezuires due to sleep deprivation. I need help...

Trina, too tired to offer much, but please try here first:

Please, please read some of these articles. They'll get you the best info you can about your RLS, the current durgs, used, etc. RLShelp.org is the first one to go to; read about the meds. Maybe your doc isn't up to date. Also read the algorithm. When all else fails, many people go to methadone. I did. Works great. But you might not need it yet. Have you done all the quality of life stuff? have your ferritin checked - should be at least 50! Take the basic vitamins that help many: E, B complex, folic acid, magnesium, calcium.

Good luck.

Ann
