How many people thought they had restless leg syndrome before they saw ads for it?

Everyone who had it no doubt. I did a sleep,study once, and it showed definate restless leg syndrome, and I would wake up with blankets strewn all over the floor from kicking and moving legs while asleep. It is a condition that is verifiable with testing.

Me.

I had a broken ankle, and while in the hospital, the nurses reported that I quit breathing frequently during my sleep. So the doctor sent me to a sleep study to count how many times I quit breathing. I’m lucky, I don’t need a CPAP machine.

The sleep study also showed that I had restless legs and kicked and twitched during the night, something both my husband and I were aware of. So I was prescribed ropinirole to help with that.

I’ve been on the lowest dose for 20 years, without problems.

Exactly.. it’s another big pharma made up 3 letter disease to sell drugs for.

My husband has had it for years, since he was in elementary school. Doctor asked if he would like something for it a few years ago and he said no, it was what kept him fit and trim.
