Well, after a few months of being part of this wonderful community, I want to give feedback from information received. When I first contacted I was severest depressed as a direct result of no sleep for two weeks and severe rls.
I am now on Agomelatine, 25mg daily and feel like a normal human being.
I have totally changed my diet. Lots of any fruit and vegetables, all diary, protein, wholemeal grains. No caffeine and no alcohol. NO sugar or preservatives.
I eat nothing after 7pm.
I have been taking a tsp of the fresh ginger, garlic and honey mixture daily.
My very helpful physio has lent me a pair of compression boots, label Blackroll. I put these on every evening for about 40 minutes.
I remain on Targin, 40mg per day.
I am just about off premapaxil, taking 0.025mg every second day. I should finally be totally off this in about two weeks.
I am just having my bloods done to make sure they are OK.
With the help of all of you wonderful people, I am feeling better than I have felt in years. I have had severe RLS for over 40 years.
It is good to share that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know this may not last for long, but am really appreciating the moment and the fact that there is knowledgeable people out there who totally understand. THANK YOU.
