Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 , I also have restless leg syndrome. I take vitamin E for it and it takes it away. I know they also have a prescription drug to help with it. I stick with the vitamin E since it works for me. Good luck, restless leg is just nasty.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Hi , My neighbor suffers from restless leg syndrome, She does not have RA she has fibromialga... She told me it is one of the symptoms.... brenda <brendas4x4@...> wrote: hi group, got a question, just wondering does any of you suffer from rls {restless leg syndrome}? before i found out about my ra i would have it occasionally, but now i have it about every two wks or so. its bad enough to lay awake hurting because of my ra and then the added agravation of my legs jurking around because i cant keep them still. i usually have to get up and walk around,just to keep moving. would be a good time to do some extra cleaning around the house but when you are in flare ups at the same time just doesnt seem like its worth the trouble. sure does make for some long nights when both are acting up at the same time. got any ideas?
