Restless Leg Syndrome

I’ve had restless legs for years but the last several months they have been a lot worse in the evening despite prescription medication. Is there a relationship between RLS and Celiac?  Any suggestions would be appreciated before they drive me crazy. Lol

To Smiller, I am new to this group. I do not have celiac but have autoimmune issues, and looking up a product lead me to this site.  I have had restless legs for 45 years, and take Requip 1-2 tabs a night.  I would say it is not part of being celiac, but perhaps a part of this vast autoimmune world many of us have entered into.  Please check with the doctor who prescribed it, and possibly increase it to make you more comfortable.    Lenamaria

Are you taking a statin by any chance? I suffered from RLS that quit as soon as I quit my statin drug.

No, the only pill is called Requip, or ropinerole.

Yes, I was taking ropinerole while suffering from RLS. When I quit taking the statin the RLS disappeared and there was no more need for the ropinerole. I researched it and did find a connection between RLS and taking statins but it is not a common side effect of statins which are anti-cholesterol medications.
