I have had RLS my whole life... and take something for it every night... but I've been out for 2 days and am MISERABLE!!! I'm calling the dr. tomorrow... Ok, so things I know that cause it... caffiene is a big one and I drink a pot of coffee a day plus coke... lots of it... Tight pants/pantyhose... OMG get them off!! I have noticed that the more active I am during the day the worse it is... I also have RLS in my hands, fingers, wrists, shoulders, have had it go in my neck and back... I've taken Klonopen, but Mirapex is what I took until 2 days ago when I ran out... there is a new drug... might try that one... I also saw some other posts here about something that started with a T I'll have to go back and find that and it possibly being iron deficiency also... I'll try that too... I've taken about 1200 mg of Neurontin and 8mg of Zanaflex to try to get SOME relief... I'm standing up as I'm typing but it's still driving me nuts... Can you say grrrrrrrrrr?!

I have it as bad as you. I've discovered that sleeping with a couple of bars of soap (zest is what I use) helps tremendously! You've got to try it!!!

You're not the first to tell me to do that... but I think I might just try it... heard it works for pain not for RLS but I'll try anything... it's getting so bad on my left side in my arm that I'm having to get back up to take more Mirapex... I'll try the soap:) Thanks!!
