you should go to your doc.There are different meds he can give to relieve the symptoms which are creepy crawly feelings, you can't lie or sit still and you are constently moving your legs trying to get relief.the pain is miserable.I have had RLS for over 10 yrs now. my doc put me on Mirapex 1/2 mg to start then 1mg that has helped me so much.Now i just have an episode now and then. Hope this helps.Good luck!

U can tell by always being fidgety, and u cant sit down. Even when ur tired u are always on the move. There are things out there that can relax u, but wont get rid of it completely. Go to ur doctor and hell prescribe u somethin if he diagnose u.

The symptoms are the feeling of ants or bugs crawling up your legs, which cause you to move your legs constantly to stop the sensation. There is medication out there to remedy it, talk to your doctor about your symptoms, it could be poor circulation from another ailment.

Do you feel a crawling or tingling sensation in your legs? Does it happen more at night? If yes you might just have RLS.

I haven't gone to the doc for it but I have a real problem with my legs jumping. If I take magnesium regularly the problem goes away.

My mom went to her doctor. They prescribed her requip. She never stops moving her legs when she sits down. It's obnoxious, but she can't help it.
