Severe Akathisia/RLS, HELP!
The last time I got sick, I got very uncomfortable sensations and a powerful impulse to move my arms and legs.
This time, it's back again! I wonder if this horrible symptom will appear every time I get sick. I have to walk around constantly and march in place or kick my legs around constantly, but most interestingly, it only happens at night and in the morning. It generally doesn't happen during the day. This is common with RLS, but why? RP says the night and morning is a poison, but why? I have been inside all day and night due to my sickness because it's cold and I get a runny nose easily, also I'm very weak.
So important questions:
I had RLS my whole life. Unlike other kids, I could not stand still. Is this the source of my RLS/Akathisia?
Will I get it every time I get sick?
What should I tell the doctor. Which medication would you Peaters recommend?
How about supplements? Would vitamin K work by reducing calcium in the bloodstream, and therefore excitation of nerves?
Is cyproheptadine likely to work well for it? What should be targeted (serotonin, histamine, etc?)
