Hi Everyone. I am new to your organization, but not to RLS. I can't remember a day that I didn't have it and I'm 55 now. I seem to be getting worse and sleep deprivation has become a real issue with me.
Just wondering, and I haven't seen it in any of the posts, has anyone ever tried using ace bandages from the ankles to the knees? This sometimes helps me, but I'm concerned about the circulation (or lack of it) that it might cause.
Secondly, many of the Parkinson's drugs seem to make my RLS worse, and the only drug that helps me at all has been Neurontin. Unfortunately, it seems that when I take this drug, I crave sweets. I have gained 20 pounds since taking it, and I never had a weight problem before.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone out there? It really helps to know I'm not alone.
