Acupuncture

I have suffered with RLS for a few years now. I was prescribed Ropinirole initially - which didn’t help.I then requested to see a consultant & was prescribed Rotigotine patches ( which we’re not workable as left me with unbearable sore patches on my skin) . So I decided to go back onto Ropinirole & also tried Magnesium Citrate which worked for a while.

Seems to be a problem with augmentation and medication with RLS .

I have now tried acupuncture , have had just 2 sessions and it seems to have worked so far as I have managed to sleep really well & no shaking for over a month ?

Maybe worth trying ?

I am basically self medicating as I am discharged from the consultant now . My GP knows little about this condition and there appears to be no interest really in any GP specialism in this area.

Tried this a few years ago but sorry to say it didn't work for me. Admittedly the therapist hadn't done it for rls before and so it was a case of trial and error. Definitely wouldn't spend any more money on it.

so agree with your specialisation in the Medical fraternity, why would it be so avoided by doctors
