This is an update if what’s helping me just now in case it can also help others.
I increased to 450mg pregabalin and it’s made a HUGE difference in my sleep.
I was also taking 30mg dihydrocodeine which is the only thing that has ever “switched off” my legs.
However I was still getting breakthroughs in the night. But it was such an improvement to before.
I mentioned this to my neurologist recently and he prescribed me 60mg modified release dihydrocodeine.
Early days but it’s really helping.
A huge thank you to the people on this forum and RLS-UK. You have literally saved my life.
I keep a nightly diary of my sleep pattern and it was only 4 months ago that I was in tears every night and seriously contemplating suicide as my legs were so bad and I could see no light at the end of the tunnel.
I know the meds are only a sticking plaster but until there is a cure I’ll make the best of it.
