[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 424165, member: 44643"] Hi I know exactly what you mean with the legs, I have been up many a times during the night and saying For god's sake stop, give me some peace and other darker things I have thought. I also get it in my arm, but milder. Before medication I couldn't even sit down for a length of time with out my legs jerking and the horrible pulling sensation. In the meantime, I found at night that if I did something that took my mind off of the RLS, like cleaning out a cupboard, a drawer, preparing a dinner for the next day or getting washing sorted that helped a lot more than just walking about, because it takes the mind off of the actual condition for about 30minutes. Massaging the backof your calves may help, also shaking the Restless leg, then stretching and repeating a few times can help. I went to the cinema with my daughter in the summer hols and I took one 500 microgram of Ropinirole but half way through the film, one leg started. so I went into the ladies and shook my leg, then walked up and down the foyer, back into the ladies more leg shaking, behind cubicle doors, and walking about up and down the foyer again. It's a miserable condition. I have recently been in hospital, a nurse suffers from mild RLS so I showed her my Ropiniroleso she could write it down and I then said if I was told I could take only one medication and nothing else at all, I would choose the RLS Ropinirole everytime, she said "oh no, don't say that you need your Insulin". Tha's how bad It can be sometimes. Take care and wishing you lots of luck and a good nights sleep. RRB [/QUOTE]
