restless legs syndrome
"My last 5 years with RLS has has been one big circle - trying to find the right doctor who really knows something about the syndrome, thinking I found that doctor, changing meds which help for a few years then back to the nightly walks around the house, no sleep for days then the 'crash sleep' when the RŁS eases off, the miserable grogginess after the crash... Then I found a Movement Disorder Doctor who prescribed NEUPRO patches.  They also worked wonderfully for a year or so but I'm back into the 'circle.'  The NEUPRO patch is probably the best med I've tried so far but, unfortunately, it augmented too.  We're now trying a new form of Gabapentin in addition to the patch.  Hopefully this will do something to ease the nerves."
