Hi everyone,
I've been for my first neurology appt today and feel even more confused than deflated than before!
The consultant I saw was a really nice man but did really know what to do with me. He said it's quite unheard of for someone of my age (27) to be diagnosed with RLS. Diagnostically I met all of the criteria but he wasn't satisfied because of my age.
I've had a range of blood tests done and now just need to wait for the results. His first plan of action is to possibly start me on a high dose of iron as my feratin levels very quite low. He also plans to do a nerve conduction study and possibly a sleep study in the near future.
I'm not sure what I was expecting from today but I've come away with very little clarity. It just seems that once I get one health issue sorted something else crops up and needs sorting...each one more complicated than the last!
Thankfully he was reluctant to just increase my Pramipexole, mainly because of my age and said he would rather try everything else before doing that!
Has anyone else had a similar experience to this? It'd be great to get some advice or share stories on this.
