I did not know I had restless leg syndrome, till neurologists tested my legs for nerve damage. If your Dr won't work with you get a new one. I won't go to a DR. with know it all syndrome. I have asked my Dr to try different things and he will let me try as long as not dangerous. I worry that he will retire on me. I pay cash to see him every 6 months. A good Dr makes all the the difference. Together we have found things that work for me. I praise God for him. For years I went without any treatment because Dr.s treated me like it was in my head. I know your frustration, keep looking.

I think I get restless leg but never had it diagnosed. I have used a slow release pain med and sometimes that helps me to sleep through the night. If I wake I just go out and sit and watch TV, which is very boring at 3 or 4 in the am. After a short while I can then go back to bed and usually sleep for a couple of more hours..

it is a potassium deficiency. drink min 6 oz of apple juice a day. also works, oj. just read the potassium levels I think it builds up in your system. I don't drink it every day anymore. had it at 17. my mother told me "eat a banana". eeewww. hi potassium in those.

I was having severe pain in my legs, my doctor prescribed me gabapentin which seem to help

my doctor has me on muscle relaxers & anxiety meds that help mine..
