Keep your legs! I have RLS in my arms. For two or three years I thought I was going insane. My right arm itched "to the bone", only at night, finally after getting no more than a couple of hours of sleep a night for two years, my husband "made" me go to the doctor. After testing me for everything, and not being able to find anything specific on the tests, he gave me a prescription for Mirapex. I was diagnosed with having RLS in my arms. I am now able to sleep through most nights! My arm doesn't itch and twitch all night and the tingly feeling in my legs is nearly gone. I am on a dose of .25mg per day, taken right before bedtime. Some people require more and some less. I was frankly amazed! If I forget to take my meds before bed, I sometimes have relapses and get up in the night with the twitches! Sometimes it makes me feel a little foggy in the morning, but nothing serious. Ask your doctor, it's worth a try anyway. |
