Acute restless leg cure

Hi everyone I have suffered acute restless leg for over 20 years.standing up all night can't sleep etc.i found a cure for myself doctors say I can only take 0.52 mg of pramipexole.i waited years to finally get to see a neurologist.i eventually got them to double my dose to two 0.52 mg tablets a day I'm 58 years old.i take both at 5 pm every day.i have not had one symptom since I can now live a normal life.before as you know with this condition it's intollerable please try this if you have it.regards Dante

  1. Hi thanks for your thoughts.ive had restless leg since I was 5 years old.doctors know very little about it..main thing I've found don't touch alcohol at all.paracetamol has a adverse effect stops the tablets from working.best to take cocodemol.like I said in my last message I used to get restless leg every day.since beginning of January this year not one symptom so far I feel great.

    1. Hi . What a huge relief that must be! I wish you'd found relief sooner, but I am glad you have it now. Thanks for sharing what helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
