How are you doing now? I notice from a previous post 3 years ago that you were on ropinirole and were augmenting and advised to get off it and take gabapentin or pregabalin. Did you do that? Also that you were advised to have your ferritin checked. Again did you and if it was less than 100 were you able to bring it up?

No problems, because I realised that sugar was the major cause of my rls, and as I weeded refined carbohydrate (which metabolises into blood sugar)out of my diet so the severity of my rls lowered. The reason for this is because high blood sugar increases insulin which causes chronic inflammation. With this knowlege I investigated other causes of inflammation and found that refined seed oils was one so I now only use olive oil or coconut oil in my cooking and avoid processed food and I have completely eliminated my rls without medication. Warning! you may lose weight on this diet.
