50yrs a sufferer

I am 80 and I’ve had RLS for so many years and I suffer every minute with my legs simmering and then they boil over at night.My arms suffer to now.I could chop my legs of.Ive spent so much money on so many things that don’t work.On Patches, Pregabalin and Clonazapam now but still I suffer.

  1. My heart aches for you, . Do you feel like your doctor understands and is really trying to help? Have you ever seen a neurologist? I am sure you have tried every possible treatment in 50 years, but I would like to share with you three articles about complementary and alternative treatments in hopes you will see something you haven't tried that helps. This one is about devices: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/treatment/devices. This is about iron supplements: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/iron-supplements. Finally, this article focuses on home remedies: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/lifestyle-changes. I really hope you find something that brings you relief. Please know we are here for you whenever you need support or a place to vent. Gentle hugs. - Lori (Team Member)
