Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

RLS = Restless Leg Syndrome. Best thing you can do at this point is to Google that term and read about it in depth. Especially the pros and cons on the two main medications used to treat it: Requip and Mirapex. I have done both of them and I am on Mirapex now for several years.

Hi, Darlia. Two quick notes. 1. I agree with @jimhd. Sleep Study and potential narcolepsy. However, it could be syncope from a variety of cardiac problems, including sensori-motor or other nerve involvements, or cerebellar cortex amyloid amorphous deposits. 2, The RLS in hands and arms, like mine, could be same stuff. Whatever, MRI heart, CT brain, EMG carpal tunnel. Mine is, we believe, turning out to be multiple disorders and causes linked together. I figure I have at least one disorder for each of my great grandchildren, plus one for each attractive woman in my life. Might even be one that is named from my ancestral family. Evans Syndrome! Like Amyloidosis but without the biopsy. That way I can say I deserve everything I am getting. (picture here a smiley. At least I am getting something good out of all this.)
Maybe you have. Narcolepsy on top of your RLS

I have the RLS and I wonder.. anyone else have it in their hands and arms? It's very frustrating! I do!
Anyone else just literally fall asleep randomly. I just check out without warning!
