Slender Tone?

Trying to find a solution to this most annoying disorder, has anyone tried a slendertone? Probably grasping at straws, and could make it far worse, any thoughts my fellow sufferers?

I doubt it would make it worse. Many people find massage, rubbing ,thumping and pressure etc all help.

Try it and let us know how you get on. I'll keep an eye on the" sudden deaths "column 😂

Sudden deaths! I hope not haha, I have tried punching my legs made them spasm, and my family thought I'd lost the plot.... I will look into slendertone, I would so like a non chemical answers, but I guess we all feel the same. I am on Pramipexole and increasing it, I now seem to be getting lots of bruises, I presume this is where I'm half asleep and bumping into things, I feel that I shouldn't drive on them now as my concentration is not good. A zombie state is not good!

If you are having to increase the pramipexole , I guess you might be getting augmentation.

Type it into the search box and check it out. Might be of help.

Cheers.

Thanks for the advice, I will have a look, trying to not have meds till 8, due to my zombie state, but my legs are going mad, getting lots done though! Well apart from reading, which I love!
