Does this sound familiar to anyone? My wife has RLS very badly but as well as this, has simultaneous attacks of itching. As far as I can make out, it's not like the kind of itch where you might scratch and it would go away, but as if there are specific points or zones which sort of alternate, so they might be on her arms, then on her face, etc. Is this part of RLS? Her doctor is talking about pergolide as a treatment, does anyone think this might help the itching too?
Any comments gratefully received. Glad to have found you.
