Andrea has a great point. Lots of medications cause RLS. Some as simple as Phenergan which is a commonly used drug for nausea. You say you saw the doc and he/she said that is what it is? Did they not prescribe meds for it? There are meds out there just for RLS. Are you diabetic? There could be many reasons this is happening but you need to let your doc know, figure out why it is happening and THEN treat it.
My heart goes out to you. It is misreable. Get back to that doc and demand some meds/change of meds or get a new doc. In this day and time, noone should have to suffer.
And as a Home Health Nurse, call them. We aren't so bad and you need to get on that CPAP or you may not wake up. It's a serious condition. You know that. Make the time.
Sending you healing light and a tsk tsk.
