If things worsen for you, please think of the
possibility of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

@rjjb and all...Absolutely. I have early morning tremors, and please notice your going legs when you go to bed and attempt to go to sleep. I have serious Restless Leg Syndrome diagnosed during an overnight sleep study at Mayo Sleep Dept. My legs ache, all the time but especially at night in bed. My feet hurt, my legs have random pain, and I feel the need to move and change positions often, sometimes all night disrupting sleep, unable to get comfortable.

They tested my ferritin blood level and it was 15. That is extremely low and with daily Vitron C iron supplements, it rose in a year to 27. Better, but to attach the Restless Legs, it needs to be around 100+. So, I had 2 iron infusions in March. In April, the ferritin tested 99, and the RLS was much better. She added 1mg of Requip, used for Parkinson's, and my legs settled down, pain and discomfort were greatly lessened and even my daytime walking and lifting my legs improved. As was my entire life. I for the first time in decades had the energy to live the day. What a miracle.

Wow. Now, 8 months later, my RLS is worse again, my sleep is disturbed, my pain increased, and I feel lousy. No energy. Had a ferritin test Monday, and it was 55. Dropped since April about 1/2, going in the wrong way. So, I have 2 iron infusions soon and can't wait to feel better.

I may need infusions regularly as I don't absorb iron nor B12. So, I give myself B12 shots weekly. If I need infusions annually, I'll be so grateful to have them. Happy to get them whenever as they are a miraculous help in giving me a real life.

So, a long way to say, consider RLS.
Be well, be blessed. Elizabeth
