i went to my doctor like i said i would with all the information i printed off RLS UK web site took my son with me for support. We all had a chat about how i have been feeling, he arranged blood tests and i ask what he thought about me seeing a sleep specialist as that is what id like to do so he made a referral and i got a letter from them 3 days later. he up the dose of the Ropinirole to 2x0.25mg 3 times a day don,t get much pain now. He also gave me a sleeping tablet, i told him i was exhausted can,t function lack of memory don,t feel like doing anything can,t concentrate on anything.I don,t rearly want sleeping tabs but im desperate. But i don,t sleep any better still only get about 4 hrs sleep. I feel more tired since going on Ropinirole may be its them because i feel worse, i read a lot of people on this site take magnesium or frolic acid or iron, is it ok to get these things and take them, don,t you need to have blood tests to check you need them first

I take magnesium and folic acid, they worked reasonably well until I got the restless arms and shoulders (same as RLS) it became chronic. I then tried acupunture I had 1 a week for 4 weeks none for 5 weeks and still feel 85% better I sleep really well (not done that for years) and also the restless arms has gone. If they start to come back I will 1 session of acupunture.

How much Mag do you take ? Do you take Magnesium Malate ?

[OldHollow]

Absolutely. I've got to say I'm becoming a bit boring shouting about RLS and Mg. I take 250mg a day.

[beady3 in reply to OldHollow]

Old hollows do they do you any good?,we try to help each other that is why mag is mentioned,if you. Are bored tell us something 

[OldHollow in reply to beady3]

Not bored, just think I'm being boring by going on and on about Mg.  I've managed to reduce my ropinirole to 25% of what I was on before I started taking it.

[Mum27]

Did you have blood tests that shows your short on mg and frolic acid or did you just go and buy them. I worry about taking things like that if i don,t need them

[johannasuar]

Make sure you don't run out again.  You proved it to yourself that they do work .  I still have to find out if I can take the tabs.
