I have RLS and fibro. and I have increased my Ropinirole to 2 pills at night and it has helped but my legs have been burning like crazy the last few days and the pain is horrible. It makes it hard to do anything!!!
Any suggestions??

This may sound silly but it worked for me.It also stopped my legs cramps. Put a bar of soap near your feet. My sister and I give each other a new scent every Christmas.
I think most people with Fibro have restless leg..
Hmm I will have to try that. Thank you.
I started experiencing chronic pain in 1975 -- My first diagnosis was for RLS as it was a major part of my pain. I did take requip for about two years (2012 - 2014) and it did help --- except that gambling was a major problem for me. The once in a while became daily - this all ended about two months after I stopped the requip. I have never tried dermacool but I am definitely going to ask for it when I see a doctor. Over the years I have tried lotions, alcohol swabs, wet cloths, ice packs - anything that could help cool the bottoms of my feet.
Thank you everyone for your help.
SMC I never thought about taking Ropinirole in 2 dosages. I usually take both pills around 7:30 and usually go to bed around 8:30-9:00.
I will give this a try.
I slept with 2 pain patches on my legs last night (Salonpas) and it seemed to help.
Lynn M that is not an option for me, since I live in Texas but thank you everyone for all your help in appreciate it so much!!!!!
