I have been dealing w/rls for 7yrs. It
started when I became pregnant.When they
were born,rls was gone.2 yrs ago I
suffered a miscarage, the rls continued.My
neuro doc put me on requip(meds for
parkinsons).My arms were becoming effected
as well. Approx 6 months ago he
prescribed clonzapam to help me sleep.Take
as needed.This stuff made me way burned
out the next day. I switched to mirapex 2
months ago due to side effects of requip.
This was no help. I started having
seizures(non epi).Docs could not figure it
out. I had a 3rd opinion which stated
that I was very much so anemic.I hope the
iron therapy helps w/rls. It makes since
that your muscles need good blood flow to
keep them from contracting. It's a 6
month treatment. I am being weaned down
on dosage of mirapex. Since lowering the
does of pd meds, my seizure like spells
are gone. I just get very wore out due to
anemia.
Any one else?

Maybe Potassium Posted: 12-04-04 23:55pm
My mother has suffered from this and her
doctor told her she may have a potassium
deficiency. Maybe a supplement could
help?
