restless legs syndrome
"I have had RLS for many years. I started out taking Mirapex and it worked for a while but then stopped being effective. I went a year with nothing. I would pace the floors all hours of the night. I thought I was the only one that experienced it in my upper extremities until reading some of these blogs. It gets really bad in my arms shoulders and neck. I work for a pain Dr and talked with her about my symptoms. She started me on Volteren gel which is amazing but I end up putting it on my entire body making me feel sticky and using so much that I was getting 10 huge tubes a month. About a week ago I started on 1 mg of requip. It has helped but I feel like I need a higher dose. Experienced nausea once."
