Orgasm and RLS
I thought it was a fluke thing thst an orgasm would stop my RLS. But found out that every time it wouldd stop. Happened to read an article about a lady who said that the increase in dopamine from an orgasm calmed hers !
It works !
I believe mine stems from low ferritin levels thst i have trouble always keeping up when im not taking iron . I think my hashimoto’s had some causative factor to my low ferritin .
Hi
. You are definitely not alone. Here is an article from one of our advocates about orgasm and RLS symptons that might interest you: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/living/orgasms-help-manage-symptoms. Do you have your ferritin levels checked regularly? Here is another article about the relationship between ferritin levels and RLS: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/living/iron-levels. I wonder whether keeping your ferritin levels more stable might help. Have you ever tried a dopamine agonist? They are commonly prescribed for RLS, but they can lead to augmentation, a condition in which the medication makes systems worse. I hate to bombard you with articles, but you might find this one helpful as well: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/dopamine-agonists. One benefit of orgasms as treatment: no augmentation. 😀 . Wishing you the best! - Lori (Team Member)
