Hi,

I have heard that a lot of people with fibromyalgia have sleep disorders and RLS is a common one.

According to my neurologist Fibromylgia to one extent or another, is present in every RLS sufferer. He routinely prescribes pain medicine for all RLS patients so they can sleep so they can sleep some unmolested pain free.

A lot of people can have both Fibro and RLS. I only have RLS.
