Restless Legs Syndrome

I have had RLS for over 50 years
My mother was diagnosed with RLS a few years before she died.
My doctor for a long time wouldn't discuss my RLS
I had an appointment with another doctor in the practice He prescribed Pramipexole taking two tablets of 88gm per tablet before bed
This has helped me slightly but I still have RLS every night and it gets worse when the weather becomes humid
I had a quarter of my bowel removed in 2023 and the anaesthetic made my RLS much worse
I am 78 years of age and I sympathise with anyone who suffers from RLS
Kind 😇 regards
William Henry
