It's pretty much a miracle

Posted by Barb (Seattle) on June 24, 2008 at 08:08:32:

I'm going on 4 days without an overwhelming feeling in the afternoon of having to take a nap. I'm on Requip for restless legs (cpap of course for the last 11 years)and iron to get my ferritin levels up. My doctor said that sometimes low iron can be the cause of restless legs.My level was 24 and it's supposed to be above 50-something. So...if you are on CPAP and not having results, this could help you. I didn't even realize I had restless legs at night, it must be like snoring, you don't realize you're doing it. I feel more alive than I think I EVER have. To be able to just keep going during the day without fatigue is WONDERFUL!!!!
