I have been having it at night in not only my legs, but my arms as well. Last night I was awake until 3:00 actually in tears. I take neurontin as well as clonazepam - according to my doc. these are both supposed to help. Throughout the night I did lunges, squats, push-up's, massages, applied heat. It is the worst feeling. I hate the pain from fibro as well, but at least my pain meds help with that. Now I am exhasted, in pain and dreading tonight for fear the RLS will start all over again.

Anyone else here experience RLS to this magnitude?
From the backs of shoulder all the way down through the elbows and wrists. From the top of the hips down through the knees and into the ankles. I'm just jerking around like a fish out of water. Arrgh.
