HAS ANYONE HERE EVER HAD TROUBLE WITH RESTLESS LEGS WITH THEIR CHRONIC PAIN?? LAST SUMMER I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GO CRAZY. I WOULD PUT OFF GOING TO BED. I FINALLY SAW A NEUROLOGISY WHO PUT ME ON REQUIP, HE HAD TO KEEP UPING THE DOES UNTIL IT TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THATS SOME NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION!!!
HOPE IT HELPS SOMEONE ELSE





Yes I have this problem as well. I can't sit anywhere for any period of time without getting up to move around. (I had some surgery lately and I was later told that my arms and feet were on the move even in the recovery room!) Sitting at a table having dinner my legs are constantly doing what my kids called "my dance". I have to keep apologizing for stepping on everyone elses' feet. I have taken Sinement and Mirapex. The Mirapex seems to be the most effective for me. Not that it stops "the dance" but at least it doesn't seem to bother ME as much- even though, unfortunately it continues to drive those around me absolutely crazy! Sorry you have had to fight this fight! My thoughts are with you!

well i finally have mine under controll THANK THE LORD their is a medicine called REQUIP it is espeicially made for restless legs. tell your doctors that you have this problem and stop the dance. it is so horrible, not that we dont have anything else to deal with. Im a possitive person but this just about drove me crazy, and thats a short trip. also some vitamin E helps . my neurologist is the one who started me on this but im sure any doctor could do this. Good luck everyone.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will ask my Doctor about this medication- REQUIP. I appreciate your response!
