I have been suffeering RLS for 18 months since I had a hip replacement.   It is also in my family but I had never suffered.   Has anybody had any sleepwalking incidents whilst suffering RLS or taking medication for it.   I take 250 mg Sifrol each night    I think I may be

    I have been so tired that I have been hallucinating during the night and the tiredness also affects my short term memory.   I wouldnt be surprised if I did things during the night and then forgot about doing them.    As far as I know I wasn't sleep walking but I wouldnt be surprised.

    Note that I am using the past tense.    I have been on a couple of diets that have just about eliminated the symptoms of RLS   Instead of getting two hours sleep every night I now sleep right through for two weeks and then have a minor problem with some food I am experimenting with.   

    A bad night is now an inconvience.

    If you want info about the diets please let me know.

      Hi Graham.

      I have just seen your response.

      I suffer from severe restless leg and apparently the three medications i have tried are the only ones in Australia.

      I am interested in some information about your diet, please.

      Regards
