Restless Leg Syndrom

Ruthie Ruth

Hello All

Just wondering does anybody else suffer from RLS (restless leg syndrome) and have any cures that might help the increasing itch at night time!?

also that feeling of not being able to sit still is so agrivating!!

Looking for some advice,

Thanks,

Iv suffered with it since i was a child, 27 now and have been taking mirapexin prescribed by my doctor for a year or two and it has really helped me. I also bought bamboo socks in tesco dun l and found they helped keep my feet from heating up compared to cotton socks.

Just been put on iron for extreme fatigue but my legs are also extremely painful and tired all the time lately. Get tired so quickly, even a short run knocks me flat out but even the day to day things like shopping and walking the short distance to work are exhausting. Going to contact the GP to see if I can get some help with this.

I've suffered bad from it for a number of years, it's hell. I'm on a strong dose of Mirapexin, it definitely helps, nothing else works. Still there's not a day that goes by where I don't feel some pain, just gotta live with it.

Jeez really.. I'm waiting for the doc to get back to me.. I've also a horrid viral infection causing a widespread rash on my stomach... I think my immunity is totally shot tbh.

I find doing squats before bed helps. I've also noticed anti-histamines can make it worse

Did you ever try Cal /Mag? That is calcium and magnesium supplement. Mention it to your doctor first to see if that is ok for you e.g.no affects of these on your meds etc

The doc has suggested quinine sulfate or quinine in tonic water. I woke with pain this morning at 5am so just got up

Complete waste of time, pregnant women take that. I've tried all those concoctions, had zero effect. I wake up like clockwork each morning with a twinge of pain, no chance of a sleep in. It won't go away until I get mobile.

I found the Cal/mag very good when I had fibromyalgia with cramps and restless leg if I remember correctly. That was 8 years ago though.

Thanks for the recommendation I'll see how it goes. Do you not suffer from it anymore if you don't mind my asking?

Accupuntre worked great for me, only starting to get it again after a year and a half since getting it done.

Different things work for different people, vitamin e helps my Mum but you need to check the dose with someone who knows. My sister had it but it went away during pregnancy and has nt returned.

Hi guys, I don't know if anybody has posted about this lately but in case anybody is looking for remedy for RLS I just had to share as not to be dramatic but it has changed my life!!! Magnesium supplement that is. I suffered terrible from RLS and was told its likely to be from a lack of magnesium. I started taking it everyday or every second day but now I just take it if I am lacking sleep or feel the restlessness coming on and it starts to work straight away and I can actually get to sleep. It worked wonders for me anyway so worth a try!
