Found this website on restless legs syndrome thought it may be interesting I never even knew it existing till I found it on the web one night
http://www.rls.org.au/
Whilst I have never been diagnosed I think I suffer from this from time to time, I too had shingles twice under 35.

My mum has had it for years, she is now 90. It has reached the stage where she is nearly bed bound for other reasons but has this insidious problem which drives her mad as she needs to get up and walk but can't. She has been on Madopar (sp?) another Parkinsons drug but I think it is losing its effect. She openly says she does not want to be on this earth because of the RLS. Her defense against it for a few years was alcohol and for someone who never drank more than a glass of win occassionaly this unusual until she told me why. Now she is so infirm that if she drank she could have another fall and she does not need that. Life can be so unkind.

Very sorry to hear about your Mum Mini. I think we suffer too much when we see our parents in such torment.

Apparently it advances to very painful in som e cases and this is what has happened to my mother, though as she has other problems and is somewhat disorientated by pain relief drugs it has become difficult to seoerate where one starts and the other leaves off. I am never want to be where she is now.

I suffer from involentary muscle movement and the doctor recommended Magnesium& Calcium. Works for me. I believe it has also been used for RLS
