Hey, I have this really bad. Around 7-8pm I feel like I want someone to pull on my legs hard and they get an antsy feeling where I cannot keep them still. When I then go to bed, my legs kick and jerk , my wife has complained about me actually kicking her in the shins and drawing blood from my toenails.
I have heard of medication, such as Dopamine agonists, but got concerned they might have other side effects.
May I ask what your Dr has prescribed to you>?
- ip26 5y agoCheck your iron levels (or just check your diet). Restless leg syndrome can be caused by iron deficiency.
- decodebytes 5y agooutuled the iron thing already, had a blood panel and levels were very good.
- ip26 5y agoIncluding ferritin, not just hemoglobin levels? Best of luck sorting it out.
- supergeek133 5y agoYes my neurologist also suggested I take Vitamin E and Iron supplements.
- supergeek133 5y agoWell first thing is I took a sleep study (monitors and all). I think at first they thought I had Narcolepsy, but after the study it was clear my legs just didn't stop moving. They prescribed me Mirapex, which is normally a drug for Parkinson's patients but it's in like a 1/5th dose. I take it a couple hours before bedtime!
