restless legs syndrome
"I have had RLS since I was a teenager and the older I got the more severe it became. I have had many serious and extremely painful surgeries on my back and spinal cord but nothing is as bad as RLS.  I have been on requip for almost a dozen years now.  For me it has been a miracle drug. I can barely even compare my life before to after requip.  Started off at .5 mg and am currently at 7mg. Each year I had to increase it little by little. Recently it has stopped working well even on such a high dose. I am barely sleeping at night and getting miserable again. I knew the day would come but I sure wish I could get a bit more time on it but the writing is on the wall, I will have to try another treatment I suppose."
