Anyone else here bothered by RLS. It's after midnight and I can't sleep because of my RLS. Just wondering if anyone else on the boards has it and has any tricks.

I have nerve damage in a leg that left it partially paralyzed. Nothing quite like nerve pain. I can rub certain parts of my leg and it feels like something is brushing across the top of my foot. I can't detect hot and cold and sharp and dull in places on my leg but I do feel. The Mutha is my foot. It is mostly paralyzed and has a constant needles and pins, stinging burning shocking sensation that I just had to live with. It's funny but when it's constant it's easier to shut pain out.

I take requip and usually it helps, last night nothing was working.

If you can increase your requip dosage, what my neurologist has me doing is taking a certain dosage at dinner time and then another dosage at bedtime. Most of the time it works, but it took my body a long time to be able to tolerate it.

My best friend has RSD, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, with a lot of the same symptoms, her foot is really bad. She is going through her second series of nerve blocks. She hates the meds because they alter who she is.

Up the dose and take it right before you go to sleep but you need to ask for the xan&x it works that nerve med will make you fell like a zombie.

Requip or whatever it is called is a joke makes you feel like crap.
I had to stay on the minimum dose for a long time and slowly work my way up. Now I split my dose in two. Once at dinner and then before bed. It truly has helped me more than anything now that I am acclimated to it. But some nights I still find no relief!

And the symptoms are impossible to explain other than the need to shake your legs non stop.
It was hysterical when we had a water bed. My husband said he got sea sick every night.
