i started with restless legs when i first got pregnant back in 1993. they use to keep me awake al night just pacing the bdrm floor as that was the only way i could stop it by walking. after each pregnancy (3) it would go away. but with the third one it came back. i did at one stage take meds for this which releived it for few hours, but after a few months i started to have side affects as i also take meds for my epilepsy. i was halluvinating and had psychotic thoughts. after seeing a physcologist at the royal melbourne hospital she looked up what i ws on and told me to get off them emmidiatly. funny my neurologist kept telling me its not the meds causing ur side effects. also funny next time i was booked to see my neourologist i had a new one. lol. There isnt really a cure for this as doctors dont know what causes it. its not painful just damn annoying as i an also an insomniac have been since my teens. does anyone else suffer from this condition and if so how do they relieve it. As it comes any time it damn feels like it and when ur sitting on a train and cant get up or kick ur legs around its very frustrating. ty.
