Dear Ctinalouise,

Please don't judge a drug by how it works for you or others. I have been taking Mirapex for 8 years now. For me it is a lifesaver. I cannot ride in a car for more than 5 minutes before I am screaming to get out. The creepy, crawley feelings in the legs is very intense. I had gone 3 to 4 days without sleep because of RLS before I was put on Mirapex. To warn people about the possibile side effects of Mirapex is helpful. To use satire to discuss the possible side effects of the drug will scare off persons from trying it who may, like me tolerate it with no side effects, is irresponsible.

Everyone is different, chemically and genetically, and can tolerate or not tolerate different drugs. Doctors need to be able to prescribe Mirapex or Requip as an option to help their patients and be able to try others if they don't work. For some it can be their only course for relief.

Peace to You,
Vicky
