I had rls years before I was diagnosed with Parkinson. After
diagnosing parkinson disease the nero said a lot of people with
parkinson also have rls. But because you have rls does not mean
you will also have parkinson. Rls wakes me up at night. Even
though I searched the internet I did not find very much information.
I have hower found some things that help my rls.
1. A hot bath
2. deep knee bends
3. nutra joint they sell it at walmart
4.benadryl even though its for allegies it helps me
5. I have heard that vitamin E helps but I have not tried that yet.
Mirapex also is susposed to help but I had to stop taking it
because it made my feet and ankles swell.
Hope this helps your daughters.
