For as long as I can remember, I have had the symptoms of restless legs syndrome . Specifically:
Anyway, I have never asked my current doctor about it, probably because I have lived with it my whole life. It was those dang commercials for Requip that made me realize what it is and that maybe there is a solution. But I also know that the restless leg commercials are a favorite target of people who criticize cures waiting for a disease.
So, does anyone else have this problem that makes it so hard to go to sleep at night? Have you ever tried any drugs for it?
- an urge to move the limbs with or without sensations (for me, I do have sensations, best described as "icky.")
- improvement with activity (get up and walk and it immediately goes away)
- worsening at rest
- worsening in the evening or night.
