I had my RLS under control with a combination of Horizant and the NIDRA machine. I did take a couple of weeks off on the NIDRA right after my surgery as I didn't want to compress the area. Even with medication and the machine, occasionally I would wake up during the night with pain in my legs and have to get up and walk it off. That is very rare and did not happen during my two week hiatus from the NIDRA machine.

I have an appointment late next month with my neurologist and we will talk about tapering off on the medication.

@steveinarizona Thanks for the response. I have never heard of the NIDRA machine but I am to see my neurologist in January and I will sure mention this to him. He has never suggested anything like that, just med after med, nothing works well and now is much worse
