Hi Leone: I am truly sorry to hear these things and wish that I could be more help. I just wanted to mention one more oddity about my RLS that might apply to your husband. Long before I was diagnosed with PD, I studied Transcendental Meditiation. After being diagnosed I studied and practice other types of formal meditation. Not only does meditation NOT help me, it makes my RLS far WORSE. If I want to bring on an attack, all I have to do is meditate. This is quite odd and leads me to believe that there is some psychogenic factor associated with RLS. I mention this in case your husband is practicing some form of meditation. Most people I tell think I'm crazy.
