Hormonal Disorders and Inflammation: Any Connection?

Just curious if anyone else has any disorders affecting hormones and inflammation. My RLS started at the same time that my Endometriosis symptoms got bad, and now during flare ups my arms even feel “restless”, so I’m curious if they’re connected. Also, how are y’all treating this? I’ve just been using the meds I use to sleep in a higher dose to numb my limbs, but I’d like an alternative.

Can you help? Connect today

I have fibromyalgia and some chronic inflammation issues. I know RLS can be part of fibro too. Anyways, I have been on both Requip and Mirapex in the past. Both prescriptions. As for otc help, I really like Hylands Restful Legs and Restful Legs PM. It's homeopathic. Works great for me... Just make sure it doesn't interact with any of your meds.

Thanks a ton, I haven’t even known where to start with treatment so I really appreciate it 💕

I have PCOS, RLS, and my doc thinks maybe fibro. I also have had success with Requip. And when its bad I get the RLS springs in my stands as well.

Oups. * I get the RLS symptoms in my arms as well.

I have it in my arms as well, about 18 years on meds. Even worse with the hormonal dips. I have small fiber neuropathy too, determined with tissue biopsy.
