What happens if the Mirapex I take quits helping, it's a fear that I have because this condition has severely affected my life.

What dose have you been taking and do you know your ferritin number?

Usually when Mirapex stops working, it is due to augmentation. That is where a dopamine agonist stops helping and starts making your RLS worse. This is a condition that is specific to RLS. When this happens, you need to get off of the Mirapex and switch to a different medication, which can be very difficult. For more info, take a look through some of the discussions in our Augmentation forum.
