Mirapex is a prescription medication used to treat people with "Restless Leg Syndrome", a somewhat controversial diagnosis. For example from the Mirapex corporate website we are told to look for the following symptoms, answering yes to all of these:
Do you feel a strong desire to move your legs from time to time, often when they make you uncomfortable?
Do those sensations in your legs occur or get stronger when you are inactive?
Does moving around or stretching help ease those uncomfortable sensations in your legs?
Do those uncomfortable sensations feel their worst at night?
Well, maybe I've got it but I'm pretty sure many people have this type of restlessness "from time to time". I hope doctors prescribe a few hours of walking before drugging people.

Most of the time if you have RLS you *know* it. There is no well maybe that's what it is or putting it down to simple restlessness. RLS goes far beyond simple restlessness. It keeps you awake, preventing you from falling asleep and sometimes, in severe cases, people have symptoms during the day and not only at night as they're trying to fall asleep. Trust me, you *want* to go to sleep but can't because of the weird sensations that are only relieved by movement. And thank goodness my symptoms have never woken me back up once I did manage to get to sleep like what happens to others. For people like me Mirapex is a miracle. You need to understand a bit better just what RLS is and what it isn't. There's a very good website that has tons of good info. http://www.rlshelp.org
