Hi all,

When you mention restless leg syndrome , are you on about being sat and your legs move up and down fast , with no prompting , if that's what you mean , then its another piece of the puzzle for me , and I appreciate you mentioning this problem , thank you .

Hi, yes your legs jump about and seem to spasm all on their own. Only walking around seems to ease it.I seem to get it when I'm either overtired or have overdone it. My GP has put me on Ropinerole (used for Parkinsons and contains Dopamine) this has been a godsend and the RLS seems to settle aboout an hour or less after taking. I didn't know until last year that RLS was just another wonderful symptom of Fibro, don't know if ME/CFS get it as well. But if you've got it, plus the fibro spasms, my hubby says its like going to bed with the Alien! This website links sounds very interesting and I for one will be taking a look. Gentle hugs Lynn x
