@linedancer18337 welcome to Mayo Connect. I see you have Lyme disease. I am sure that is a major problem for you. Restless leg syndrome may be caused by sleep apnea and since you mentioned trouble sleeping and being tired, it might be worthwhile to ask your doctor if a sleep study would be a good idea. We are not doctors so cannot tell you a diagnosis, so that is why I suggest consulting your doctor. If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, then using a CPAP machine should reduce the restless leg syndrome. There are also meds you can take for it. Lyme disease can also cause rls. There are a few other causes as well, so again seeing a doctor to eliminate them would be what I would recommend. Please come back and let us know what is happening as you seek answers.

I have seen doctors and also been to Er twice. No one seems to know much about restless legs and cannot help me. I am still desperate. Does anyone know of a specialist near Parksley Va?
