Rls

[Rachel6]

Hey everyone. I just joined this group with the hope ye might have a cure or even a bit of hope. I have rid now with over 6 years and it's not just my legs , it rose through my armpits as well. I have to take sleeping tablets but even with them I'll only get around a hour and a half of sleep. I gave up smoking, I thought it would help but no it actually got worse. I gave up sugar as well. I can definitely say that being over tired makes it worse, but than of course i cant sleep so it gose on and on.

What meds are you on, including OTC meds?

Sleeping tablets are addictive & stop working if you take them every night.

Once you let us know your meds we may be able to help.

There is no cure so far for RLS unfortunately.

Hi Rachel, sorry to hear of your suffering. It sounds as if your problems may be due to any medication you have been prescribed for RLS. If as Jools suggests you say what medications you're taking this could be confirmed and then people could suggest what to do about it.

Some medications prescribed for RLS, after a while start making it worse rather than better. This may be what's happening in your case.

Have you had your ferritin level checked ?
