[QUOTE="John6185, post: 4260231, member: 25679"] If you have RLS you know what the initials stand for, Restless Leg syndrome. I have RLS and it creates problems in a sound and restful sleep. At times I will wake up violently kicking. I've been on Pramipexole (Mirapex) for over 20 years and it partially contained the RLS but of recent it doesn't work as well as it has in the past. As a matter of fact, I had a partial knee implant last May of 2023 and was doing fairly well until I kicked a couple of weeks ago and sort of hyperextended the knee, displacing the implant and creating a lot of residual pain. Now, I have to have a total knee implant and I'm concerned about destroying the new knee implant should I kick-which I will again. So, what are you on for RLS? Does it work? I went to a RLS forum and someone said that the Pramipexole is the wrong medication for RLS and it is causing the kicking and I need to get off the medication very slowly. I do have an appointment with asleep specialist this month so I'll pose that question to them. It i a literal pain to get older and have problems medically whereas before I didnt have any medical problems. So what are you on for RL and does it work? [/QUOTE]
