What's working for me
Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2018 3:59 pm
Hello all,
I'm new here and recently diagnosed after 3 years of doctors not knowing whats wrong with me. My RLS manifests as intense itching starting in my legs and feet, and moving up my body. It often feels like electric sparks.
Anyways, what I'm doing right now seems to be working. 1 mg of Requip at 8pm, then a super hot shower, then 600 mg of Gabapentin and a dose of melatonin, then in bed by 10pm. Also for some reason keeping a humidifier running at night works too. I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but I thought I'd share. Talking about what works is more productive than me complaining about my symptoms to anyone who will listen.
