i don't mean to disappear but sadly have been ill , i suffer from severe migraine because of spinal degeneration and it has now traveled up into my neck and hence i get severe rls . the migraine i get also causes paralysis on my left side, that can last for 2 hours or 2 days but , but because of sensitivity to medication nothing seems to be suitable for me , iv now had the worse case of rls that i have ever had for 3 days now and its driving me insane.

For a 14 yr old, you REALLY have to talk to the doctor/. No med is approved officially in the US anyway for anyone under 18. I do not know about the UK, but they seem to be stricter with some of these things.
