Before the medication my toes would contract and my foot and leg would jump. I feel what seems like pressure or pulling in my lower back and then it travels down my leg to my feet. My right is worse than my left. But I get relief if I lay on the floor or go to bed.
If I have symptoms in bed I do not notice. It does not keep me from going to sleep once I am realaxed.
Is that RLS?

My legs always move. They feel uncomfortable if I don't move them. When I am in bed, I kick and toss around. I had no idea my DH was suffering lost sleep because of it. He was actually with me when I got the dx...and told the doctor he'd sure appreciate it if he could stop my legs!
I told DH if he ever comes home and finds me on the internet watching porn on one screen and trading stocks on the other, to call the doc! <GRIN!>
