I want to SCREAM! RLS is at ALL TIME HIGH........

[3420]

I don't have any downtime unless I'm sleep. I've noticed very prominent in my right leg - in same exact area. Also notice that The times when muscles raging, I get extremely lightheaded. I'm scared.....almost as if one particular muscle resting on a nerve.

3420, some people do have RLS in one particular area whilst for others its more widespread. Muscles don't really have anything to do with RLS as it is Neurological not muscular.I am wondering if there is something more going on because of you feeling lightheaded unless that is a result of the tiredness. What treatment are you on for your RLS?

[3420 in reply to Pippins2]

I'm thinking it's extremely tiredness....no sleep. I was taking pramipexole than switched to carbidopa/levodopa - couldn't function with either med....

3420, so you are not on any meds now for your RLS?

Hi Pippin how are you doing ,hope last hol was good,what meds are you on now and does it keep rls at bay. I am doing ok except still get tiered ,I have only had one bad night in the last month. What do you think about iron tabs I was tempted a while back but didn't take any. Hope Freddy is ok,merry Xmas to you and thanks for your help over the year June xx

Hi Beady! I am doing ok thanks on and off the patch.Glad you are doing ok still with the Tram . Freddie has to have allergy testing as he keeps on getting a rash ....more expense.I enjoyed my holiday thanks , ready for another one now! On the iron, its always best to get a ferratin iron test before taking iron supplements. Getting ferratin

Up to over 70 ish does help some people but unfortunately is not the answer for us all.I got mine up to over a hundred and it made no difference. Mine is genetic pure and simple.Always worth getting it checked out though as it helps a lucky few.Wishing you a Happy Christmas , I have my daughters baby to look forward to, due February 6th .Kim x

Hi 3420. A trapped nerve is when it Herts al the time nothing like rls.
