Restless Arm Syndrome -Restless Hand Tremor

I am suffering from Left Restless Arm Syndrome and Restless Hand Tremor as soon as my arm/hand is not active. Tried Sinemet - no response, Tried MIrapex 2X,3X with some relief but side effects are an issue, .25mg Xamax helps but not enough to allow sleep. Only med that tames the problem is Oxycodone which I take for the extremes of global body pain but my allowance for the drug is controlled. Now trying different ratios of THC and CBD. Has any one tried THC/CBD to control issue with arms and or legs? If yes, what was the optimum ratio and mgs of each. Falling asleep with worms in my arm and a hand with a mind of its own is difficult at best. Any potential options are welcome. Tremor is between 5 and 9 Hz. MY legs/feet, although are painful, tight, and numb is still not RLS.

So sorry you are suffering like this. The drug, Mirapex, has caused Augmentation & I’ve had severe symptoms in my arms, shoulders, neck & occasionally face. I’m currently going through Mirapex withdrawal & am using CBD/THC oil capsules that I made myself & they are really helping me. I usually go 0-5 hours of interrupted fitful sleep but since starting these I’m sleeping for 8+ hours almost every night!!!!! It’s been over 15 years since I had a full nights sleep. I don’t have the original label anymore but if you go to Leafly.com & search under strains for Gorilla Glue #4 you can read about it. When symptoms start before nightime I’m smoking a few different hybrids which sometimes help take the edges off. Best wishes for peaceful zzz’s 😴😴😴
