Help

As l look back l realize l have had RLS since childhood. But the last couple years have become unbearable. I am sleeping less than two hours a night. I have taken every RLS script they claim to make. Any recommendations??? l don't know how much longer l can go on like this. I work a physical job 60 hours a week and the lack of sleep due to the RLS is killing me. I can't even take naps. The minute l lay down it starts. Thank you for any advise.

  1. I am sorry for what you are going through, i may suggest doing a few researches on the community section, as there are multiple experiences from people trying to cope with the illness, i have also shared my story and how i am doing better with supplements.

    Maybe you could find some life-changing suggestions, i hope you will have the best outcome and find a cure that fits you. Best wishes.

    1. You must be incredibly frustrated, . Do you see a neurologist? If not, I would definitely arrange a consult with a neurologist who specialize in RLS. The Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation has a tool for finding one in your area. Here is a link: https://www.rls.org/treatment/find-a-healthcare-provider. Have you tried any alternative treatments? Here is an article about devices that might help: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/treatment/devices. I am guessing you are already taking iron supplements since you have been diagnosed for so long. I hope others chime in with ideas that help.
