So, I have Restless Legs Syndrome. For some of you that don't know what that is, it is where your legs start tingling, and hurting, etc. It is an awful thing to have. I found out over the internet that it is heriditery. My mom has it, and her brother has it. So, I guess now that I have it. :( I haven't went to the DR yet to get some meds for it in a long time because my mental health DR took me off of requip saying that it can hurt me with the other meds that I am taking. So, I have to go back and see her in the month of Feb. and am going to tell her that I really need some kind of med for this Restless Legs. It is very disturbing and can't sleep with this problem.

My father has restless legs. He finds an ounce of pickle juice (Vlasic, bread and butter). It seems to help.

Never heard of this hereditary disease.It's a good thing that you consulted your doctor for medication that are suited for your mental health too.

I hate RLS. I have it while pregnant-and it goes away after I have the baby. While pregnant though it is so frustrating. I'm sorry you suffer with this.

Have you had your hemoglobin /iron levels checked? Restless legs can have other causes, but I know anemia can be a cause.
