My husband Ron is SUFFERING with RLS.
If he suffers, WE suffer. If you have RLS, survived someone with RLS, hurt for your partner with RLS, please share here. He / WE :sigh: deserve help. Suggest away. To top it off, 2 months ago he had a partial knee replacement done. All experiences welcome.
Many thanks.

I drink tomato juice every night about half an hour before bed. If that doesnt work I then I take a pill.
I bought some over the counter pills on Amazon. I will try to find the exact name and post it...

I got RLS from the side effects of statin cholesterol medicine. Klonopin has controlled it.

My mother has had RLS for years. She has always taken 1 mg of Mirapex three times a day. Recently, the doctor had to raise it to 4 times a day. The neurologist recommended she take 1 at 6 PM and the other 3 at bedtime.

I don't have it very badly so on the nights when it starts I take an OTC homeopathic sublingual (under the tongue) pill from Hyland's called "Restful Legs." It comes in a 50 count bottle and I get it at Wal-Mart but you can get it at any drug store. I think they have it in regular pills but the SL acts faster.
