Anyone use Nidra bands for restless legs (RLS)?

Sorry for the delay
Nidra has helped me from my initial request for approval and again to completed the paperwork submission for review after denial. My advantage plan has 90 days to respond to that request.
Nidra folks initially sent my doctor Nidra information and a script that my MD filled out and then I first sent that to Nidra to send in initial request approval, when it was denied they submitted the denial request and any additional information needed. Also in the beginning I had some of my medical records also sent to them to assist.
Need to wait about 45 days more to hear from my advantage plan.
I am totally miserable and trying to switch to a different opioid which also has been rough.
I am just praying that something helps. Not sleeping is real really old.
Thanks for your words

Hi Laurie, This may seem silly but I saw on Temu.com a some knee massager bands that also have heat. They only cost 22 bucks and may be worth a try. I have the Nida bands and they do help along with Requip. I also take hot baths with epsom salts and a claming bubble bath and soak as long as possible. Also I put ice packs behind my knees for a while. Hot to cold seems to help. I wish you good luck with finding a lasting solution. I understand.....

@lauriefeenstra Thank you for the update. I have been wondering about you. I'm glad that Noctrix has been helpful. I'm so sorry for your continued difficulties and I am hopeful that you will get the Nidra and that it will help--as much as it has helped me and more! I know how you are suffering, because that's where I have come from...All I can think to say is HANG IN THERE--whatever it takes to get through the days and nights. I hope the new opioid will help. If not at the initial strength maybe a higher dose? Not sleeping is the worst thing I ever experienced. (So much worse than childbirth which is over and done--not continuous torture). I'm so proud that you have fought for a promising option. I am pulling for you! Please keep us all posted!
