I'm currently taking Mirapex which seems to be helping much. No Tramadol needed for the first time in months, last night. Will go without tonight as well for a drug holiday as the Doctor at the rlshelp.org site suggested. Pray I make it through the night. I was fine all day yesterday and through last night. However, today I'm having symptoms of the burning raising it's ugly head once again.

I think I've been to wemove.org but will visit just to see.

I can't take Lyrica. Related to Neurontin and that made me suicidal.

The Tramadol was a miracle for me. The opiates don't seem to help me much. Tramadol acts like an SSRI but is different and for most people doesn't cause a worsening of RLS symptoms. SSRI's did a big number on me. Tramadol has not caused that.

All my life my iron has been closer to high rather than depleted. I came close with my third pregnancy though. That having been said I do plan on asking my
NP to check my ferritin levels rather than iron levels. There is a difference.
