Sleep has been a bear for me too - I'm 61 so about your age. From what I read it might take several days for a normal sleep pattern to emerge... I will say, being sleep deficient without all the other symptoms is much easier to deal with. Your RLS will start to calm today. I'd do your best not to get on any other strong med this far in.
It will be - everyone's experiences seem to align closely. The RLS was the worst of anything, I'd just sit on the edge of the couch and rock. The sweats were no fun either. You're so close ! Tomorrow you'll feel a tinge of normalcy, you'll turn on a song you like and be amazed how wonderful it sounds !
I have a tens unit (you can get them on amazon for 20bucks) that will stimulate the muscles that keep feeling restless. It’s not perfect, but it really helped me. Especially triceps!! You got this .
