Diuretics

[bedith6]

It looks as if I might have to have a prescription for diuretics in the near future for another condition I have. Does anyone know if this sort of medication triggers RLS at all..? Maybe there is one better than another, please help if you know or have experienced taking them. Thanks

Sorry to give you bad news but all diuretics can increase symptoms in most people.

H Su e that is bad news but not surprising. Everything seems to exacerbate RLS I shall have to decide which is worse the swollen legs and ankles or RLS made worse. Thanks

Have you had your ferritin checked?

[bedith6 in reply to SueJohnson]

Hello Sue. Not recently am having blood tests next week

[SueJohnson in reply to bedith6]

Are you taking any medicines for your RLS?

[bedith6 in reply to SueJohnson]

Yes I have recently been prescribed Temgesic but it’s not helping much so far.
