Suggest Treatment For RLS, Body Jerks And Involuntary Muscle Movement Disorder

I have restless leg syndrome and Involuntary muscle Movement Disorder. I now find that I also have body jerks. Sometimes these symptoms last the better part of the day. I take Sifrol 0.125 mgs around 6 om each nigh. If I take ot ether later or earlier I can t sleep more then 2- 3 hours per night. I am 70 years old and quite active but this is driving me crazy. The only relief that I get from all this is to walk. But I also have severe arthritis on my feet and this is extremely painful after several hours. Bev YYYY@YYYY
