Restless Legs Syndrome
"I have suffered from restless legs syndrome since the age of 18 but at that time and until my 40&#039;s I would get long bouts of remission. Once I hit my 40&#039;s the RLS became relentless, not only in my legs but also my arms and strange sensations to touch in my fingers.  I tried Mirapex but had horrible nightmares.  Then I tried Requip for many years but started getting augmentation during the day.  Increasing the dose helped for a little while and then it just got even worse. I have been on the Neupro patch for several months and it does control the symptoms very well.  Have only had a few mild episodes.  However, the patch makes me extremely sleepy in the daytime which is a big problem as I work full-time and have fallen asleep at work."
