RLS THERAPY: RLS is a tough condition to treat, get a copy of report and consult sleep specialist. Iron and Magnesium supplements can be very effective. I have also found success with topamax, zonegran, gabapentin, doxepin ,lyrica and savella (milnacipran). The therapy needs to be tailored to your response.
