Sinemet helps with legs but still can't wake up!


Posted by John A on July 27, 2000 at 08:20:04:

I was diagnosed after a sleep study last week with RLS. We really thought I would have hypersomnia because of my tiredness and ability to sleep for very long hours. According to my wife, I am sleeping less restless at night and she is glad to still have covers in the morning! But it still takes her 20-30 minutes to wake me up for work and I feel dazed and completely unrested when I wake up. I also experience physical pain (burning in my shoulders, hands, etc.,) that last from lunchtime until I get home from work. It exhausts me! Any ideas?
