First diagnosed with restless legs, and then multiple myeloma?

Posted by christie619 @christie619, Nov 30 5:59pm

Hello, I’m really desperate suffering with chronic pain, autoimmune disease, diseases, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and 25 other medical conditions, but the restless legs is just killing me and no medications have worked at all. I researched because it feels like it hurts to the bone and it came up that RLS Sometimes misdiagnosed and it’s actually multiple myeloma. Does anyone have an experience with us?

I struggle with RLS and take Pramipexole and iron. I was told restless leg has to do with your iron levels.

I take pregabalin for neuropathy but it also is said to help with RLS. I am tested for iron levels regularly.

It will be interesting to see what a neurologist might recommend with all your coexisting conditions and medications thrown into the balance. Will you let me know what you find out?
