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 unable to walk for long periods of time, the pain is not lessening even though i am currently taking myropex on a daily basis. I have had testing for restless leg syndrome, arthritis, had an mri, etc and am tired of not being able to get any relief from this because no one knows whats wrong. This has been ongoing for over 10 years and is progressively getting worse to the point I had to quit my job because I was not able to function normally. Any help would be appreciated.
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.
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 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.
I decided to research this online and came across Restless Leg syndrome. As a symptom of RLS it listed aching legs, which by itself would not have been very convincing, but then I noticed other symptoms that I have too. One was the need to constantly move the legs. Both my mother, sister and I all bounce or move our legs constantly, and I, cannot stand to have my legs dangle over chairs, I always, always sit with my legs crossed under me, as this is the only comfortable position for them.
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 also experience muscle stiffness and cramping in my right calf and, as of today, also in my left leg and calf. I have been told by my primary care doctor and my neurologist that I have benign fasciculations and not ALS based on bloodwork, physical exams and symptoms. However, I am still concerned because the cramps seem to be getting worse. I even have cramps/fatigue in my upper right arm now, especially in the morning. I am concerned about fibromyalgia now.
