I have severe restless legs. I also have allodonia with RL attacks. I get debilitating pain if I touch my sheets or move. My treatment regime is Pramipexole pills with . Gabapentin. At a strong dose of. pramiprexole.I had severe itching and had to take steroids. I just ordered magnesium spray as magnesium relaxes the legs. Also bananas help for potassium.
My heart reaches anyone with
Restless legss, a difficult issue.
