Kathy,
I pray that your rls doesn't get worse with mental pause. Mine went thru the roof, and I do mean, thru the roof.
Had I known then what I know now, I would have kept a journal.
I went without sleep for 5, 6 nights, I can no longr remember. I was so sleep deprived, I was seeing things, crawling around on the floor, ( eyes closed , picking up imaginary things ) then falling face-first into the floor. My husband called my daughter in the middle of the night and had her come over to see what I was doing. They would get me settled down, and as soon as I was asleep, I would wake up and start all over again.
My dr. wanted to put me in the locked side of the hospital ( LOL ) but my husband and daughter said I told them no, I wasn't nuts, I was sleep -deprived.
It still took me a while to get them to understand I had some real serious rls/plmd.
Please keep tabs on your symptoms. I would hate to see anyone go thru what i went thru.

No no no!, don't tell me that RLS gets worse during Menopause! I am pre-mpause. Blah
My RLs does seem to have gotten worse within the last year or so.

My wife had RLS+PLMD during menopause, and only during menopause. We had to roll up a beach towel between our legs, under the bottom sheet, so she'd stop raking my calves with her toes.
