What is it? Always looking for something to help with my RLS.

Three out of five of our family suffer from RLS. My sister gets it occasionally in the bend of her arms, she’s not on any medication and copes with the outbreaks.

I suffer from it permanently and am taking Ropinerole (4x1mg each day) which keeps it under control… just.

Our mother has suffered from RLS on a regular basis for years and has never had any medication to control it. After years of suffering from knee problems she was prescribed this cream to ease the problem.

Since using the cream (for two weeks) on the back of her knees and calf’s she has had no symptoms.

Might be a stab in the dark but anything’s worth a try. Good luck and I'll let you know how things go if you wish.

Please keep me informed on the progress. Is this the same as DMSO? I really want to try the cream if it continues to work.

Not what you're looking for?
