Now what! Neuropathy in feet and ankles.. Numbness in hands and arms

If you've asked your neurologist about it, did she/he tell you what it might be? I know that RLS presents not only in your legs. I asked my neurologist a few weeks ago if he had noticed the involuntary motions in my hands and arms, and just about every joint, and he told me it was RLS. The Clonazepam I take for anxiety has the added bonus of keeping me from kicking and punching in my sleep. Knowing that the movements are signs of RLS doesn't really change anything for me. The only movement that affects my day to day life is when my foot jerks when I'm driving. I think it's annoying to my wife, but it's not easy to control it. If I focus on it, I can be still for a few seconds.
It's probably something to discuss with a neurologist if you really want to know for sure. We don't do any diagnosing here. What we can give is support, and sharing our own experiences. I'd be interested to know if you get a diagnosis.

No I haven't I am still figuring with social security disability so that I can afford to see the proper doctors. I do know this because of my meth addiction I jerk when I am sleeping. It is irreversible nerve damage. But it's not the same as the restless body syndrome, or else.
