What Causes Severe Headaches When Diagnosed With Restless Legs Syndrome?
Question: My mother is 83 y.o she has been taking numerous precribed medications prescribed by many differnet doctors.
There has not been any confirmed medical diagnois except TLS (Tired Leg Syndrome). However I recently found out that one doctor has also placed her on a prostate med for "diabetes" All these priscriptions begin when she started experincing severe headaches. My fear is that she is being overly medicated and may the best medication win. The family in my opinion is playing a guessing game trying to diagnois her themself. Can you give some suggestion.
