I have had severe burning legs which stop me getting a good nights sleep. this started three years ago. all blood tests came back normal. i have seen three specialists over this time. The last one put me on gabapentin which made my head fell terrible, has anyone else found anything that helps this condition.
My restless legs progressed to, Periodic Leg Movement (PLM). The movement wakes me, I have tried lots of things, laying on my stomaache, putting my leg into the sing with very cold water, splashing on my legs. I did find that I was alergic to the juices in carrots, as I had terrible itching after peeling carrots. I eat quite a lot if carrots. I had wondered weather also my carrot eating, would effect me resting. I have had far less problems since I did this. I now wonder if you could find something you may be eating does not agree with you. Just an idea. I hope you find out what is causing your RLS.
Hello Gardy. GP's use medication as a last resort it seems. Dopamine agonists are used such as Pramapexole and Ropinerole. There is also patches that can be worn. You could perhaps try one of these. I use Pramapexole and it seems to work mostly but not always. Aneamia and caffienne seems to be implicated so perhaps it may help you to address these. I hope this helps.
Hi i have this for about 15 months . Seen a specialist and had loads of tests . Do any of the people you see say you may have ms. Nobody else seems to say this so why do they think it'swhat I have .
