Restless Leg Syndrome

I have it and it is no fun. RLS is like having creepy crawlies in your legs all the time, especially at night or when you are NOT moving around. The drugs that help you sleep though it don't cure you, they just knock you out. Then I'm drugged all day (though fairly well rested)I also think it makes me quick tempered. Exercise can hurt or help, no way of knowing. Sometimes a good jog or hour at the gym is great. sometimes it just agitates everything. Iron and hot baths are my next attempt at treatment. I'd like to do this without the pills, but the "cold turkey" factor is scary. 12 hours off the drugs and I feel like I have the flu with a little parkinsons thrown in. I am really going to try to get some help this time, 'cause 6 months of the pills and I'm starting to become immune to them (I've talken and extra 1/2 pill during the day sometimes...not a good sign) http://www.rls.org
