Welcome to timetraveler900

Monday, March 20

Welcome to

timetraveler900, who has had RLS for almost 20 years, is now 61 and nearly going crazy with it. traveler is taking more and more medication (carbidopa-levidopa). traveler doesn't know anyone else with RLS and would love to hear what others do.

Please take a look around, especially the section on Augmentation. Carbidopa-Levidopa is almost guaranteed to cause problems, especially if you have been taking it regularly for an extended period of time. And please post a note telling us a bit about yourself and giving us a few more specifics about your RLS treatment so that we can offer some specific suggestions for you.
