The doctor immediately put me on medication.
Who was I to doubt this medical professional? Side effects of the medication started setting in.
The tingling in the feet, legs aching, and medication therapy being required during the day as well as night time.
So we would switch medications and have to build up to the dosage necessary to control the RLS symptoms.

Other medications would not.

Making changes to my lifestyle and following a non-medication program would have saved me several years of aggravation and turmoil.
