@jebk I looked into those Fall of '24. Insurance wouldn't cover them at the time and I was still on the pramipexole (augmentation still a factor). I bought a TENS unit, hoping I could figure something out, but was not successful.

@dhafford Check out the Nidra bands--similar (sort of) to a TENS, but one is high frequency and the other is low frequency and the Nidra was created specifically for RLS---there is a bunch of research supporting its efficacy (and it works so well for me). It's only available via Rx. I also tried using a TENS (years ago) and it was too irritating to allow sleep. With the Nidra you fall back asleep because it cancels the RLS. I still need medication, but the Nidra is great as additional therapy. (Google Nidra a TOMAC device and the Noctrix Company that makes it. There are YouTube describing, I believe, or look on PubMed for medical research articles).
