hello everyone
recently I was on Mirapex for restless leg syndrome and only lasted a short time due to muscle cramping everywhere. It is still going on even tho last dose titrated downward was 12/14/11 and am hoping to find others who had this problem and what they did for it. I will see the Dr again 1/5, his last words to me, 12/7, were, "I don't think this has hurt you", now I'm not so sure, the cramping is crazy, comes and goes, strong and faint, everywhere, even my face, lips and nose. Oh bother! feels like my new companion for life.
Any words of encouragement welcome. Thank you!

Welcome to NT!
I'm so sorry about this frustrating issue you are faced with
I'm sorry your Dr didn't do much for you.
Hopefully you can get some answers soon.
Sounds as tho you need to be on a muscle relaxer or anti-spasmotic medication. I hope you can find a Dr who will take good care of you.

It's great to have you here!

Caring,
Rae
