Is it possible to get restless legs in your whole body.All day I haven't been able to keep my body still. It feels like it needs to keep moving .Im all jittery and I can't relieve it with anything. It's unbearable.

I used to get restless in one of my arms... so I don't think it is uncommon. I myself am on a patch called Neupro which helped SO MUCH! Also, I'm on another medication called Horizant, and believe it or not, Lyrica is another one that will help. Talk to your Neurologist about it.

Hi Duffers1, I'm going to go with Beady3 and ask about the diagnosis of RLS and what drugs are you taking?

I have RLS throughout my body and it is a right b@$t@rd! I had it my whole life in the legs only until a couple of years ago and now it is in my torso and arms. It still follows the usual pattern of RLS - it is helped by movement and gets worse in the evening, (although at its worst it started at about 2pm and went on til 6am - that was a terrible few months!).

take care.

Raffs I really feel for you as I too have this life controlling condition in my arms legs & hips....at the stage now of wondering why on earth I bother to wake these days..a very high jump is looking like an option 😞 my gp & neurologist have tried many meds but only offer short bursts of relief..i don't drink alcohol but my god that seems like an option atm....they just don't realise the despair this demon condition can cause x

For me alcohol makes things much worse. 

Have you tried Kratom? It offers fantastic relief without all the nasty side-effects of the Dopamine drugs.

I have it in my arms and legs. If I don't take my medicine it feels like it jumps around in my body everywhere I can't stand that it drives me crazy so I never miss my medicine

I have to set the alarm on my phone, so as I don't forget to take my Pramipexole... Otherwise... No sleep, or up half the night :(

What medicine do you take? I can't believe I found this group. I always thought what I've been going through, thrashing around every night until I just want to scream, was just part of my PTSD.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Have you discussed this with your doc? It is possible to have 'inner restlessness' throughout your whole body. I've been there. You might want to try an Epsom salt bath and then talk to your doc. Are you on meds that may be causing this?
