At your doctor appointment, ask to have your potassium checked

Hi, i would see your doctor. I am not sure you actually have RLS from what you are describing...

Check all possible causes of your symptom, as Elisse has replied you may not have RLS, which is a good fortune.

I'm really sorry to hear about the trouble you have with your legs. Like everybody else, I'm wondering whether you have seen a doctor for this?

I hope that not can find some relief term soon

Hi there. I agree with everyone you need to get a diagnosis because it may not be RLS. Well done for reaching out and saying you're scared. It's normal to be frightened when we feel there's something wrong . Now you can get support.x

I just read your profile and like p1pp1ns i see you have been to see your doctor. RLS, rarely comes on rapidly and out of the blue. Can i ask what pointed you to this forum for RLS, has your doctor said he/she thinks that is what you have. If your doctor has said it might be RLS, then there isnt a test for that, but tests can rule some stuff out and find what is wrong. Keep in touch and let us know what your tests reveal. If there are any questions you want to ask, then fire away, some one usually has an answer.

Here is some info which might help you or your doctor on whether you have RLS. Some doctors are more knowledgeable about RLS than others.

Are you taking any magnesium &/or potassium?. I had similar but not as serious things going on and magnesium really helped. Have your dr run some mineral tests. If this is RLS, I use a hand vibrator on my calves with good success. Sure hope this help. So sorry for your misery.

Not what you're looking for?
