restless legs

[Azanne07]

anyone suffer from restless legs?

how do you find comfort dealing with this?

my legs get very restless and jumpy when I am over tired and sometimes the only thing to do is walk but the only way I can get rid of the feeling is too get my butt to bed

This is an old wives' tale that seems to actually work, but no one knows why.

Take a bar of Ivory Soap, unwrap it, stick it under the fitted sheet near your feet. After a few months, when it stops working, exchange the bar.

Works for me!

You are lucky going to bed helps.  That's when I have the most problem with restless legs.

Try magnesium supplements! I used to have really bad RLS and still occasionally get it. Magnesium helped me. Take it about an hour before bed.

walking does seem to help mine

I think I have restless legs sometimes, but I just rub them or walk on them and it goes away, not sure that is the best thing to do but I don't know.

I think tonic water would help. Hubby uses it for cramps from his one  medication. He tried magnesium supplements but they helped only part of the time. His Cardiologist said to take tonic water, as did his best friend who had the same valve replacement. It works great if he "works" normally during the day. If he does heavy duty work like tree cutting all day long, he still gets cramps in his hand that holds the chainsaw.

Definitely exercise will help.

I do have restless legs really bad. Tried several home remedies which did not work for me. Now my doctor has prescribed me an Rx which seems to work just great.

Try and take magnesium or potassium supplements. That helps my symptoms. Exercise can help, too.

Sometimes my legs feel like the nerves are going to jump clean out of my legs.  I just rub them and they eventually stop jumping.

Try checking different things out online and try a few and see if any work for you.

thanks all I will certainly be trying some of these.

As for the exercise I get my exercise. I usually get 10,000 plus steps a day. and the days I exercise it actually seems to be worst when I go to relax.
