Do any of you suffer with the problems of Restless Leg Syndrome or Lymphedema?

I will certainly try the ice packs and heat packs when I have another bad episode. I have never thought of those remedies. The worst episode I ever had was about a year ago, shortly after being diagnosed. I ran out of my Mirapex and of all times it was on the weekend when I couldn't contact my doctor. I went through two nights of hardly any sleep at all. I tried exercising my legs while laying in bed. I tried getting up and walking the floor. I tried sitting in a chair. All of these things would work until I got into a position to try to go back to sleep and then the "creepy crawlies" would kick back in. That first night I lost so much sleep I was sitting in church the next morning trying not to go to sleep, it was awful.
