I just had a baby 7 weeks ago. I had a c-section. 5 weeks later I began having strange feelings in my arms and legs, hands and feet. It comes only when I am tired. I do not have creepy crawly or spider feelings I just feel this strong urge that I have to wiggle my feet or legs or hands. It is such a strong urge that it keeps me from being able to sleep. My doctor said it was RLS and she gave me requip but it did not help at all. Does this sound like RLS?

" It sure sounds like RLS. You might want to look into another med. Requip didn't work for me either. Try taking a walk and then a hot bath or shower before bed. That helps me. Good luck to you. "
