Thank you for your feedback. We would also love it if doctors would give out MedHelp's URL to their patients to help track symptoms. Then their patients could just click Email This on their trackers and send it to their doctors for review.
We could easily add Restless Legs as a symptom and Mirapex as a treatment to the Sleep Tracker. Would that work for you?
I loose a lot of sleep. I get in day and night. My arms even jerk and have that restless feeling. Mirapex is taken twice a day and don't help. No drs will address it and I'm miserable . Is this a lack of a vitamin or mineral. Do I ever get rid of them?
I am a 39 year old male that has suffered for years with restless legs, leg/joint pain, both of which have caused many sleepless nights. The pain is more noticeable during weather changes (doesn't matter if its warm to cold or cold to warm). My legs twitch almost constantly and is very noticeable especially when sleeping, I have been told i have had my legs have spasmed to my chest. I have also had multiple arthroscopic knee surgeries due to a parachuting accident when i was younger.
I have Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) which includes the uncontrollable need to move my legs, and surprisingly, other parts of my body also. I take Mirapex which helps greatly. My PCP and Neuro both feel this is the way for me to go because it was so severe. I also suffer from severe insomnia because of it. I'm not suggesting that you need to be medicated, but I do recommend that you talk to you physician about it, because it can be very dibilitating.
I developed what I think is restless leg syndrome 3 months after knee replacement surgery. In talking to a friend today, I found that she has had the same issues and she is taking the same antidepressant, citalopram. Has anyone ever heard of this drug causing these symptoms? I have been on citalopram for several years, and have not had many side effects until now. The symptoms are bad enough to interrupt my sleep.
Hi, welcome to the forum, restless leg syndrome (RLS) can be really frustating sometimes and can be treated by treating underlying illness, if known. For example, iron deficiency anemia can be a cause and can be treated by supplemental iron.
Some other measures like elimination of caffeine, smoking and alcohol (if present) can be very helpful. Getting better sleep and exercise can help some persons affected by restless legs.
I have muscle leg, foot, arm and hand twitches. I was diagnosed, (among other things) with Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). It does not necessarily only affect your legs.
There is also something called Periodic Limb Movement, but as I understand it, this only happens when you're asleep. RLS, on the other-hand, can be all day and all night. It usually is at its worse when you try to sit still at night.
