rabsab57,
I am interested to know what meds. you take for Restless legs. Also, do or did you have low ferritin?
I have had neuro. problems for 12 years. It sounds a lot like Issacs/Neuromyotonia. They are trying to define it. I don't present with classic Restless legs,
but my ferritin stores were depleted so I am taking iron infusions now. The doc and research I looked up stated that many with Restless legs and Parksinson's have low or no ferritin. They gave me Requip to try just to see if it would help. Do you know anything about requip? How does it help you if you take it and what are your side effects?
Thanks,
Lynn

I have had neuro probs for 20+ yrs and yes I have takn mirapax which I was on for several yers then was switched to requip i take i in tha am and 3 at bedtime

Sabrina,
Yes, I think you should check it!
Does the requip make you really sleepy? What symptoms does it help with?
