I’ve had RLS for 50+ years and couldn’t find any relief. I joined a diabetic group as I’m newly diabetic on Facebook and the conversation turned to RLS and someone said she took magnesium clycanate and iron. I decided to try it and it took about 4 weeks to start to act and now I get some nights sleep and only maybe only up at night about once or twice a week whereas I was up every night walking the floor. I just hope this carries on.
Good to hear! I've been dealing with RLS for 15 yrs and have been on dopamine meds for all that time. Two weeks ago, I started iron, magnesium, fish oil, D3 and K2 along with MegaFlora probiotic to aid in absorption. Hoping and praying to ween off the prescription medications. Thanks and good luck.
@@SSSTANG42So it’s been three months for you now-any improvement? I found Dr Buchfuhrer in Downey Ca and got off the ropinerole with low dose opioid the past three years. I will try lysine as suggested here. Working with Dr Peter Osborne to eliminate reflux and PPIs. That is helping a lot.
I’ve had RLS for years. I saw a specialist who prescribed medication for it but I really didn’t want to take what I call heavy duty medication. A couple of years ago I started taking magnesium which stopped the creepy crawly feelings and not being able to keep still. Very happy with the results of that but now I have nights I don’t sleep at all. It seems to be RLS without the other bits. A sleeping tablet that would normally knock me out has no affect at all. If I take enough to help me sleep I’ll sleep halfway thru the day. I’m now trying adding more iron to my diet. I’m now a full on magnesium fan.
HI @Ann Clarke , it sounds like you might be making a very common mistake you can learn about magnesium here: ua-cam.com/video/6rDn9RK43cc/v-deo.html and if you watch this video, you can figure out if magnesium is making a catabolic imbalance worse: ua-cam.com/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/v-deo.html and this video will help you understand that there is more than one cause for insomnia and it's really about figuring out what that cause is for you: ua-cam.com/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/v-deo.html Let us know how it goes.
Hi. Did watch the article. Don’t think I made myself clear in last post. I only suffer from insomnia once or twice a week The rest of the time sleep too well. If the insomnia is not RLS it would mean I no longer have RLS. For the past couple of years I haven’t had the uncontrollable thrashing or horrible creepy crawly feeling in my legs. Also since I started on magnesium I have (with cardiologist permission) stopped medication for atrial fibrillation and no a/f for 3 years and about a month ago (again with doctors permission) stopped BP medication as my Bp became so low I was having blackouts. Maybe wrong but as I’ve been on these meds for years and I am thinking it could well be magnesium. I’m 80 years old and my only meds now is for low thyroid and blood thinners. Though I am having surgery in a month for 12 cm hiatal hernia and what a nightmare that has caused. I found your video very interesting and as at the moment I have a sprained ankle plan to sit and watch more today. Thank you so much.
Hi Anne, that's great that you've been able to reduce your need for medications and correct your high blood pressure naturally. Way to go. If you havne't seen it, here is our video on hiatel hernia: ua-cam.com/video/zHz0WGYS0sU/v-deo.html
Thank you so much! It’s nice to hear someone not telling us to simply just stretch. Unfortunately it’s not that simple. Thank you for validating how debilitating & real RLS is.
I am having insanely discomforting RLS after Suboxone treatment. It lasts for days, weeks even, and I was already someone who had RLS before this. It's tormenting. Mine is a burning, electric feeling with some other side effects I cannot explain. Walking and massage gun help a little.
I have had RLS for over 25 years I used to get good relief from Pramipexole but it is losing its effectiveness. Recently I have been taking electrolyte tablets in the afternoon and this seems to working well.
Hello, anyone reading this, good info here but I need to say, if you’re going to take minerals get bloodwork done first! When taking alternate forms of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, the results can be damaging! Make you’re taking the best form of that mineral, the best way to take it, the best time of day, and note changes. Personally, I prefer the food method (easy to find too), and lot less chance of getting the wrong amount. I apologize Sir for commenting on your video but I felt the need to elaborate. I’m a herb practitioner and I agree with this (your) message! 😇🤠
I have muscle contractions and leg jerking, it’s enough to drive a person insane! My doctor prescribed Requip/Roprinirole which was a miracle however it only addresses the symptoms. I’m trying to cut back on the meds and replace with a more natural remedy … I’ve had great relief with Magnesium Glycinate and have recently added 8 oz of Tonic Water in the evening has been effective as well! I am now going to do a deep dive into the minerals that can help and the anabolic state! Thank you for the great explanation and ideas to get to the root cause of RLS!! 😊❤
I take Gabapentin, its the only thing that has worked. Only major complaint is feeling very sluggish the next morning and throughout the day. Dealing with it tonight as i write this and just want to cry...
my RLS is horrible, it feels like a feeling I never felt before, Not sure how to explain it. I feel it in my arms and my legs and even back. It keeps me up tossing and turning and rocking and walking around most of the night. I am trying magnesium, and it seems to be helping somewhat. I even get it when I get sleepy at work, I start fidgiting and cannot concentrate, it sucks.
Have you tried soaking in a hot tub? This is the only thing that works for me. I usually end up sleeping in the bath most nights. And it keeps the symptoms away for a few hours after too.
Having microscopic colitis has been very challenging for me for over 23 years, I have always had rls just not as bad as when i hit my 50s. Seems to get worse the older i get to the point its restlessbody syndrome no matter how tiered i am, and then its like wide awkake restless brain syndrome for the rest of the night. I have tried every possible solution for my microscopic C with absolutely no avail....
That’s what my doctor is working on…..she does osteo massage therapy on me as she believes my RLS is due to nerve constriction in my lower back. And she prescribed 15mg of a muscle relaxant before bed which seems to help. Also cut down on caffeine, a low carb high fat diet and pro and pre biopics. And a magnesium supplement called Cramp Defense. It’s all helping very much. This video is excellent.💞
I have severe rls. Docs gave me Pramipexole years ago. Seems to be worse now. I also have hemochromatosis which is too much (Ferritin - over 750) Iron in my blood. Which doesn't make sense given the lack of iron is one of the causes of RLS. It also starts up immediately after eating. It is ruining my life. I'm at my wits end
Mine starts after eating also.Mine is severe now as well.I take ropinarole.75 mg now one .25 after dinner and two .25 at about 8:00 bed at 10:00. I had a good week .My heart goes out to you it is torture.
I've had RLS for the past 24 years, both before and after i developed fibromyalgia. It used to be just the jumpy legs, feeling like an electric pulse down my lower body. Now (with fibromyalgia) it's all that plus the pain. I think it all started when i took anti-depressants but it was occasional back then so i didn't associate it with A-Ds. It also took me a while to realise how much sugar exacerbated it, to the point that I have to avoid sugary food/drinks in the evening. Then it ramped up to the point that i got prescribed Pramipexole/Mirapex. I keep that to as low as i can (1-2 x 0.08mg) because of augmentation and the nasty behavioural side effects that follow taking Pramipexole. Plus the cocodomal for the fibromyalgia. Usually my regime works but then I'll have nights like tonight when, for seemingly no reason, I'll wake up kicking at 3am and, despite taking more Prami and aspirin, it's just not going anywhere. I'm SO so tired of this sh!t.
I take repinerole for mine , for several years , an it seems like some night was better than other s took the digestion course , an working on this it has worked much better . Not many symptoms now nothing like it was 3 months ago
I have RLS since childhood... now Im 48... I developed a way to suppress it... tying thick rubber band around each and every toe (left and right foot)... the mild pain overcomes the irritable sensation... then I can sleep...
My legs start to hurt as soon as I lie down in bed. A few years ago I only had it in my calves. My legs have been hurting for a few months now. My muscles pull all night, I didn't sleep at 4 o'clock last night. I'm completely devastated and my legs now feel like I've had leg day
My legs make me afraid to go lay down. It dryf me nuts. Painfully burning.... want to move all te time. Less sleep .every night. I going to try Tonic water before bed. But I think with gin for beter sleep.😂😂😂❤❤❤
My RLS is a jerky like feeling in my legs. I lash out my legs as they're involuntary, kick up a storm. I feel like I can go crazy with the uncontrollable jerks. This is accompanying the pins and needles, or creepy crawling effect, too. The RLS comes in waves, too. It is similar to being in active labor but without the pain. That's why I said it comes in waves. Unfortunately, I'm getting RLS attacks in the daytime, too. It's bad enough that I'm seeing a licensed hypnotist to help me get through it.
I’ve had RLS for over 20 years and it got to the point of causing severe insomnia and brain zaps. The only thing that keeps it away is eating red meat, salt and water. Pork and chicken are huge triggers. Found your channel a couple months ago and have been working on fixing my digestion in hopes that it’s a mineral deficiency. When I do have issues it can be pretty bad for a night, but if I eat strict red meat it isn’t so bad the next night and then completely gone the next night. Besides maybe too much histamine I haven’t been able to determine root cause.
I have tried both heme and non-heme supplements but they didn’t help. My digestion has gotten tons better after supplementing HCL and Beer Flow. RLS has also been in check and I haven’t had to be super strict with my diet
After painting buildings for some years, and finally hanging up my brushes, I began to experience RLS. What I found is that if I rub DMSO on my legs when they cramp-up at night, and I can't stop moving them after brief intervals, then the cramping immediately stops, and I have no problem sleeping. I now apply it in the morning, and at night before bed.
I’m 40 and have RLS ever since I was a kid. I suffered a long time with it. Finally got some medication for it from the neurologist I saw a couple years ago. It’s Ropinerol hcl. I really hate having to rely on it to sleep though. I seem to get a tolerance from it also and have to keep increasing the dosage. I am now going to try the magnesium at night. I hope it will work. Without the medication I can’t sleep. My legs will keep crawling/ having to move. If I try to fight it I feel it go up towards my heart. I usually have to get up and stretch, or get on the exercise bike. It’s always when I really need to sleep. Sometimes it gets to the point where you’re almost crying because all you want to do is rest and sleep. If worse comes to worse I have to start punching my thighs. It really is the worst!!! If I’m out of the medication I take over the counter “restful legs” dissolving under the tongue tabs
"Leg Anxiety": I had to crack up at that one. That describes it so well. And I'm glad I'm not one of those guys who'd rather poke himself in the eye than read a book. Been getting this RLS a few times recently, like last night. The next day I'm frazzled and useless. I ran out of desiccated liver about a week ago; maybe that's it.
Drinking a small glass of Schweppes indian tonic water before bed really helps, as it contains Quinine, which helps allot .my mums doc used to prescribe her quinine tablets, for RLS ,which worked, the Dr told my mum to try the tonic water as it saves money on prescriptions and no need to take more tablets. Hope this helps.
I tried quinine three years ago and broke out in purple ‘purpura’ spots. Also have Reye’s syndrome where hands and feet will get very cold and turn purple. I think the rls is both brain neurons and digestive oriented.
79 year old husband has suffered severely for about 8 years - mirtazapine helped a but but eventually did not so now he is completely sleep deprived and has had 2 consecutive minor strokes

Out of the blue for 3 nights i started getting like electric feelings running through my legs stipping me sleeping. I stopped taking my multivitamin because maybe i was taking in too much b6 ( was just a thought) started taking magnesium tablets ( 4 kinds included in them) and then no more jumpy legs in the last week. Dont know if its because of this but hope it carries on.
I get RLS every night and have tried just about everything . I have had issues with my bile duct for years causing Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction after having my gallbladder removed My symptoms are the need to move my legs , it’s like I have things crawling around in my calves, sometimes moving up to my thighs.
I have pain tightening, electric tingling, pins and needles stabbing lost of motion in my toes, and my feet go cold and change color. after getting a iron infusion
Pickle juuce is great for RLS symptoms. I also drink 2 TBS of apple cider vinegar diluted in 16 ounces of cold water at bedtime. It has helped a lot. @@sumeemasud7347
I had stomache pains that put me in hospital 3 times in 3 weeks and eventually got diagnosed with gastritis and duodenitis. In those 3 weeks I didn't eat much and lost about 8 to 10kg Got put on 2 different types of antibiotics for a 7 day cycle which ended on friday 4 days ago. For the last 5 days ive had restless legs and arms when I sit down and lay down. I think my gut issues is the reason. I will definitely get some magnesium tablets and multi vitamins. Any other tips will be appreciate. Great video thank you
Hi, consider taking a probiotic. Antibiotics destroy gut flora which is essential. Greek yoghurt for example or a probiotic in supplement form . Bon courage
This question will help, and here it goes.Does dry air affect RLS symptoms at the HS hour? My answer is yes and obviously a strong yes if you have no pre-existing conditions. I just made a personal breakthrough in that the new age house temperature or thermo system or unit is breakthrough in that it has added inclusions of an extra option included in the control panel setting to adjust the indoor humidity level too. Older versions are auto, so there is no freedom to have a hands on experience but within required specification. My RLS setting comfort 💖 zone was 55 percent on the control panel at naptime, but I wake up and returned it back or lower back again to below 45 percent during the day time threshold. The new class thermo unitc does not use water per se and use a different configuration away from the water indepent stand alone humidifiers from online or shops etc mold or which may cause complications to individuals with pre- existing conditions like legionares disease or chest conditions. The house unit is safe with different configuration works, especially during the frigid cold, and the indoor air is dry in the summer nights. RLS has been an issue with me, but this thermo setting worked. No RLS and so far youtube channels don't get it lately on any thread and it goes to show that doctors have nothing to give as of this century so please investigate because my comments are lost in the thread at the youtube platform. People need to know since they deserve the news.
Yes, keep in mind that RLS is often a low resources issues and the act of being pregnant takes a LOT of resources to make that human. So it totally makes sense that RLS can start during pregnancy.
…”problems from an EXCESSIVE anabolic imbalance”. I Like your video - but I hate spelling errors! I get RLS on night flights and have found a cure - nothing with sugar the day I am flying. Works very well!
Yeah, did you know that anger from spelling mistakes is also a sign of being overly anabolic. LOL. Not really. But if removing sugar relieves the RLS, you may be creating spikes and crashes in sugar that are magnifying the RLS. This video could give you some insights: ua-cam.com/video/QvvvtyrO_Yw/v-deo.html
L-glutamine has the ability to lift blood pressure if it's too low and can also correct a catabolic imbalance. That can be beneficial for someone who is not pulling minerals out of their food. But for some folks, glutamine could also magnify RLS for different reasons if the person is already leaning too anabolic. This video can help you figure out if glutamine could be helpful or not: ua-cam.com/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/v-deo.html LOOFe78 if you feel like you're not getting nutrients out of your food, your best bet could be to go through our totally free digestion course because that will walk you through figuring out which aspects of digestion are not working correctly and what steps will help you the most.

RLS often shows up late at night when anabolic performance at the wrong time. Or at a different rate. Anaerobic respiration can happen with hypoxia for remote tissues, due to things like sleep apnea and low breathing regulation. I've had long term low extremity circulation issues, including posterior compartment system. I fixed it with a greens juicing, two pints, overnight. Saved my legs completely. I had 7 healthcare professionals wanting to cut into my legs and simply confused. Nutrition should be the first choice, even under extremes like juicing.
Mine is restless feet constantly rub them together some nights not to bad sometime go to sleep n wake up n it starts just started taking magnesium glycinate hopefully that will help 🙏
Whoa I have to rub my feet together, too. I already take magnesium and my iron levels are fine, but I still get creepy-crawly sensations in my hips and have to move my whole leg, and my feet rub together a LOT. Did the magnesium help? I take mag citrate though so maybe it's only the glycinate form.
I have Juvenile 7:46 😢 hemochromotosis also and had restless leg syndrome since I was in my teens.😢 The only time I had relief for about 5 years when I was prescribed Quinine. Now Quinine is unavailable. Tonic Water does help as muc and magnesium 7 different types in one supplement helps some also.

@@KickItNaturally It typically occurs at the nap hour, and if you are in an environment whereby the room conserves heat too well, then the best approach is to do a before nap time workout routine of your choice for an hour and also remember to keep the dry air out during the summer the best way you know how or winter time using the thermo control with the "fan" control setting on "auto" fan setting simultaneously and not "on". Dry fan air will dissipate at auto setting, and it's good for the lungs when you do your workout out in your room at night before bed. That's my conclusion and cure after 38+ years, too. It seems that at this age, it is the gold standard age experience I've noticed. Human evolution wasn't meant for energy saving high-tech rooms, which trap dry air in rather to the contrary outdoor experience. Who even gets cured off of restless leg syndrome on a couch rather than outdoors doing stuff and then napping in the forest somewhere. I am serious about this. It's a cure on my behalf in every season of the year and counting. My time for a workout is at the 12 mark to 1am. It is cold outside to open windows and dangerous too. unpredictable too if you live with your loved ones.

Mine is caused by an allergic reaction to wasp sting that i need to take steroids to help swelling go down. I think I am also caffeine sensitive as I had a cup of green tea and ginger too late at night.

Yeah, this is actually a problem that I had with hemochromatosis, but it's so rare compared to these other issues that I didn't mention it here. But an excellent point.
I have severe OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) Two years ago I had the Inspire device surgery and my OSA symptoms have much improved, however, I do suffer from RLS as well. My doctor has me on 1200 mg of Gabapentin every night. When I begin to fall asleep one of my legs "kicks" and that keeps me from falling asleep, the Gabapentin prevents this as it has stopped completely. But I would like to try a natural remedy.
I have suffered from this for years. About 10 years ago I was at my pulmonologist office for something unrelated and I happen to mention to him what my legs feel like and how often it happened at night. He chuckled a little bit, took out his prescription pad and said take this is called Mirapex. He said his wife also suffered from this. I started taking Mirapex 25 mg and it works like a charm. It literally takes it away every time. I only took it when I started feeling symptoms but through the years I take 50 mg now and I take it every night before bed, it literally completely takes away the symptoms every single time I don't know what causes it actually nobody does I try to figure out what I do on different days and see if there's any common denominator, but to this day I've never come up with one. My mother has suffered with this for years, but she would not take medication from it until recently. At 90 years old she decided to try it and she started crying two days later because it took the symptoms away. Although I didn't know my grandfather, my mother said he suffered from the same thing so obviously there is some genetic component to it if I didn't have Mirapex, I don't know what I would do, I really don't. If you suffer from restless leg syndrome, haven't tried Mirapex I strongly strongly suggest you do literally a lifesaver.
@@sandracantrell5755 I would absolutely give it a try. I found there to be zero side effects that I know of and my 91-year-old mother just started taking it a few months ago after suffering from it for years and it works perfectly.
Mirapex is mega-expensive. Get your doc to prescribe Pramipexole ( generic form of Mirapex ) instead. Problem with this treatment is that it is susceptible to losing its effectiveness over time, requiring ever increasing doses to be effective ( I think the medical term for this is "augmentation"(?) )
Pramipexol (Mirapex) can cause augmentation and Impulse Control Disorders (ICD). Be very cautious and educate yourself before taking this drug. I took Pramipexol for years and it resolved my RLS for years. But finally had to quit because of the augmentation and ICD. OMG!!! I didn’t know I had the ICD but now realize that it was going to ruin my life. In addition, there are severe withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking this drug. Do your research on these issues and be very cautious!
For me it's an itchy feeling in the soles of my feet that cause me to roll my ankles or rub my soles across the carpet. Though I did take a sleep study that showed leg jerks every minute. My wife recently videoed me falling asleep where I was doing full body jerks.

My RLS is out of control. Magnesium supplement and Magnesium oil has not helped. I’m on 900 mg of Gabapentin ( not working). Also Hyland restless leg natural tablets, Restless leg creams, sleep in tablets, etc. Seeing Doc this week and asking prescription for a TOMAC devise. I’m on a RLS support group, seen two neurologist and meds ( plus full blood work) and a MRI. I just cry before bed, as it feels like I’m being shocked, it just horrible. .
Just when I’m transitioning into deep sleep my legs start jerking and I can not control it. For years I’d take a hot shower and that worked but eventually I was taking 3 or 4 hot showers a night. Then started the journey of finding pharmaceutical relief. The only med that ever helped is Lyrica but I hate the side effects. Having break through symptoms now and resisting going up on the medication.
Yeah, often the RLS and insomnia can have the same underlying causes for some folks, even when it's not the RLS that is keeping them awake. This video might give you more insights: ua-cam.com/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/v-deo.html

I have rls for more than 30 years. Triggered by anyone touching my feet. If I have any type of pain it triggers it . I have to get up and walk. I don’t eat refined sugar or refined flour. It gets so painful. Crawling extremely painful. I c😊ant sleep .

I had RLS since as long as I can remember, on a INSANE severe level. at age 5 in the middle of the night I started cutting my leg with a kitchen knife, on the table, screaming in pain, I just wanted to remove my legs. I couldnt stand it.. it spread all over my system, not just the legs. Suffering from this my entire life until age 12 when I found Cannabis. Thc helped me, except it's illegal in my country and thats when everything falled apart. 18 years later here I sit, just quited smoking 5 days ago.. restless legs instantly came back now and I cant fkn sleep..I need to work tomorrow but will fail because no sleep. I hate this. it has ruined my life. Working out, Running, Eating well, nothing helps. Also it was so mental, at age 5-30(now), All I have to do is hear someone say restless legs and it activates it. so everytime I accidently thought of it, it would start.. endless circle.. I remember once when I had completely forgotten about RLS and didnt experience it for almost a full year, I was about 10 years old here, that's when I realized "holy shit I havent had RESTLESS legs in such a long time!!!", then it came back... like what the fk. kill my brain pls.
I was on morphine for 22 years for degenerative disc disease. I decided to get off that poison and went thru withdrawals last year ( it took me about 6 months). The leg traumas were awful during the withdrawals. I’ve been opioid free since August 2022. But RLS started almost immediately. It’s devastating. I don’t sleep for more than two hours a night and sometimes no sleep at all. I was put on the medication for Parkinson’s disease (Requip sp.) I hate that drug. I will only take the smallest dose because of the nasty side effects so it’s not much help at all. It also interacts with many other drugs and supplements including cold medicines and antihistamines. I’m weaning off it now. I have been eating Keto for the past 6 years so no sugar and no more than 20 gm of carbs a day. I take magnesium and calcium supplements daily. Still my legs go crazy every night and a lot during the day. I need to find someone who can help me. Life is awful …people just don’t understand…they blow it off like it’s nothing. No sleep is torture.
The sensations I get in my legs and buttocks feels like sitting naked on a bristle mat 😢 I also muscle jerks. Mostly my right leg. It feels like a build up of energy in my right buttock, which then lets go, and causes my leg to jerk. If I'm laid on my side. My whole body jerks upwards. I was on pramipexole but got augmentation. Consultant switched me to pregabalin over a year ago. The transition was horrendous. No sleep for weeks. Pregabalin did work for a while.. The awful sensations have stopped, but still jerk when falling asleep.

I’ve had RLS for 50+ years and couldn’t find any relief. I joined a diabetic group as I’m newly diabetic on Facebook and the conversation turned to RLS and someone said she took magnesium clycanate and iron. I decided to try it and it took about 4 weeks to start to act and now I get some nights sleep and only maybe only up at night about once or twice a week whereas I was up every night walking the floor. I just hope this carries on.
It’s been a month since you posted this and I was wondering how your legs are doing? Are you still taking magnesium? I Hope sleep come easy. 😊
Oh vivhvihvi
I think you are talking about magnesium glycinate.
Good to hear! I've been dealing with RLS for 15 yrs and have been on dopamine meds for all that time. Two weeks ago, I started iron, magnesium, fish oil, D3 and K2 along with MegaFlora probiotic to aid in absorption. Hoping and praying to ween off the prescription medications. Thanks and good luck.
@@SSSTANG42So it’s been three months for you now-any improvement? I found Dr Buchfuhrer in Downey Ca and got off the ropinerole with low dose opioid the past three years. I will try lysine as suggested here. Working with Dr Peter Osborne to eliminate reflux and PPIs. That is helping a lot.
I’ve had RLS for years. I saw a specialist who prescribed medication for it but I really didn’t want to take what I call heavy duty medication. A couple of years ago I started taking magnesium which stopped the creepy crawly feelings and not being able to keep still. Very happy with the results of that but now I have nights I don’t sleep at all. It seems to be RLS without the other bits. A sleeping tablet that would normally knock me out has no affect at all. If I take enough to help me sleep I’ll sleep halfway thru the day. I’m now trying adding more iron to my diet. I’m now a full on magnesium fan.
HI @Ann Clarke , it sounds like you might be making a very common mistake you can learn about magnesium here: ua-cam.com/video/6rDn9RK43cc/v-deo.html
and if you watch this video, you can figure out if magnesium is making a catabolic imbalance worse: ua-cam.com/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/v-deo.html
and this video will help you understand that there is more than one cause for insomnia and it's really about figuring out what that cause is for you: ua-cam.com/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/v-deo.html
Let us know how it goes.
Hi. Will do. Thanks for that.
You bet.
Hi. Did watch the article. Don’t think I made myself clear in last post. I only suffer from insomnia once or twice a week The rest of the time sleep too well. If the insomnia is not RLS it would mean I no longer have RLS. For the past couple of years I haven’t had the uncontrollable thrashing or horrible creepy crawly feeling in my legs. Also since I started on magnesium I have (with cardiologist permission) stopped medication for atrial fibrillation and no a/f for 3 years and about a month ago (again with doctors permission) stopped BP medication as my Bp became so low I was having blackouts. Maybe wrong but as I’ve been on these meds for years and I am thinking it could well be magnesium. I’m 80 years old and my only meds now is for low thyroid and blood thinners. Though I am having surgery in a month for 12 cm hiatal hernia and what a nightmare that has caused. I found your video very interesting and as at the moment I have a sprained ankle plan to sit and watch more today. Thank you so much.
Hi Anne, that's great that you've been able to reduce your need for medications and correct your high blood pressure naturally. Way to go. If you havne't seen it, here is our video on hiatel hernia: ua-cam.com/video/zHz0WGYS0sU/v-deo.html
Best explanation of RLS and what might be going in your body I’ve ever come across.
I really appreciate it, J Logan.
Thank you so much! It’s nice to hear someone not telling us to simply just stretch. Unfortunately it’s not that simple. Thank you for validating how debilitating & real RLS is.
I tried to use compression stocking and it works for me up to now. Happy to help.
Thanks for sharing this.
Good to know. I’ve just ordered some online. Looking forward to trying them.
I am having insanely discomforting RLS after Suboxone treatment. It lasts for days, weeks even, and I was already someone who had RLS before this. It's tormenting. Mine is a burning, electric feeling with some other side effects I cannot explain. Walking and massage gun help a little.
It’s a "jumpy" feeling. I *have* to kick my legs - even though that doesn’t work and I’ve used my legs plenty during the day.
Had rsl for years, muscle twitching etc, four days into your advice on gut health. Just started betain, choline and digestive enzymes. ❤
Does that mean that the RLS has improved already @Jennie Lunn?
Eggs are loaded with choline!!
I have had RLS for over 25 years I used to get good relief from Pramipexole but it is losing its effectiveness. Recently I have been taking electrolyte tablets in the afternoon and this seems to working well.
What brand of tablets?
Hello, anyone reading this, good info here but I need to say, if you’re going to take minerals get bloodwork done first! When taking alternate forms of Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, the results can be damaging! Make you’re taking the best form of that mineral, the best way to take it, the best time of day, and note changes. Personally, I prefer the food method (easy to find too), and lot less chance of getting the wrong amount.
I apologize Sir for commenting on your video but I felt the need to elaborate. I’m a herb practitioner and I agree with this (your) message! 😇🤠
I have muscle contractions and leg jerking, it’s enough to drive a person insane! My doctor prescribed Requip/Roprinirole which was a miracle however it only addresses the symptoms. I’m trying to cut back on the meds and replace with a more natural remedy … I’ve had great relief with Magnesium Glycinate and have recently added 8 oz of Tonic Water in the evening has been effective as well! I am now going to do a deep dive into the minerals that can help and the anabolic state! Thank you for the great explanation and ideas to get to the root cause of RLS!!
😊❤
Tonic Water because of the quinine?
What strength is the magnesium glycinate, and can it interfere with zinc/selenium supplements?
@@enricovillanueva5203doesn't work for me. Take diet if you do. Sugar makes RLS worse
I take Gabapentin, its the only thing that has worked. Only major complaint is feeling very sluggish the next morning and throughout the day. Dealing with it tonight as i write this and just want to cry...
Sorry, me too
Gabapentin worked for me but it causes bone loss. Severe!
Sorry for your distress; I share it. ❤
Gabapentin has serious side effects.. like causing Alzheimer's..
It made my blood pressure skyrocket and my heart racing.
Never had RLS until I hit menopause :(
You make a lot of sense .
So do you.
my RLS is horrible, it feels like a feeling I never felt before, Not sure how to explain it. I feel it in my arms and my legs and even back. It keeps me up tossing and turning and rocking and walking around most of the night. I am trying magnesium, and it seems to be helping somewhat. I even get it when I get sleepy at work, I start fidgiting and cannot concentrate, it sucks.
Have you tried soaking in a hot tub? This is the only thing that works for me. I usually end up sleeping in the bath most nights. And it keeps the symptoms away for a few hours after too.
@@LaughingRam I soak in a hot tub with epsom salts actually, it helps for a bit but it comes back :(
I also get the horrid feelings & movement & I get it in my legs my arms my back my buttocks, feels like ime being electrocuted
Having microscopic colitis has been very challenging for me for over 23 years, I have always had rls just not as bad as when i hit my 50s. Seems to get worse the older i get to the point its restlessbody syndrome no matter how tiered i am, and then its like wide awkake restless brain syndrome for the rest of the night. I have tried every possible solution for my microscopic C with absolutely no avail....
Really well explained 👍🏼
I appreciate that James.
You have to talk about proper hydration problems that I have for long time and a lot of problems with my digestive system besides other health issues
Here is our video on who should really drink more water: ua-cam.com/video/eea4TDo2TD4/v-deo.html
Thank you !!!

You bet!
Digestion may be the reason for some people.
What about the cause being lower back pain and nerve impingement?
Absolutely a possibility.
That’s what my doctor is working on…..she does osteo massage therapy on me as she believes my RLS is due to nerve constriction in my lower back. And she prescribed 15mg of a muscle relaxant before bed which seems to help. Also cut down on caffeine, a low carb high fat diet and pro and pre biopics. And a magnesium supplement called Cramp Defense. It’s all helping very much. This video is excellent.💞
I have severe rls. Docs gave me Pramipexole years ago. Seems to be worse now. I also have hemochromatosis which is too much (Ferritin - over 750) Iron in my blood. Which doesn't make sense given the lack of iron is one of the causes of RLS. It also starts up immediately after eating. It is ruining my life. I'm at my wits end
Mine starts after eating also.Mine is severe now as well.I take ropinarole.75 mg now one .25 after dinner and two .25 at about 8:00 bed at 10:00. I had a good week .My heart goes out to you it is torture.
I've had RLS for the past 24 years, both before and after i developed fibromyalgia. It used to be just the jumpy legs, feeling like an electric pulse down my lower body. Now (with fibromyalgia) it's all that plus the pain. I think it all started when i took anti-depressants but it was occasional back then so i didn't associate it with A-Ds. It also took me a while to realise how much sugar exacerbated it, to the point that I have to avoid sugary food/drinks in the evening. Then it ramped up to the point that i got prescribed Pramipexole/Mirapex. I keep that to as low as i can (1-2 x 0.08mg) because of augmentation and the nasty behavioural side effects that follow taking Pramipexole. Plus the cocodomal for the fibromyalgia.
Usually my regime works but then I'll have nights like tonight when, for seemingly no reason, I'll wake up kicking at 3am and, despite taking more Prami and aspirin, it's just not going anywhere.
I'm SO so tired of this sh!t.
I take repinerole for mine , for several years , an it seems like some night was better than other s took the digestion course , an working on this it has worked much better . Not many symptoms now nothing like it was 3 months ago
Great job. Glad you learned helpful stuff in our free course.
I have RLS since childhood... now Im 48... I developed a way to suppress it... tying thick rubber band around each and every toe (left and right foot)... the mild pain overcomes the irritable sensation... then I can sleep...
That's interesting. I wonder if you followed the steps we talk about in this video if you would still need to do that.
My legs start to hurt as soon as I lie down in bed. A few years ago I only had it in my calves. My legs have been hurting for a few months now. My muscles pull all night, I didn't sleep at 4 o'clock last night. I'm completely devastated and my legs now feel like I've had leg day
Maybe a glass of milk would help
My legs make me afraid to go lay down. It dryf me nuts. Painfully burning.... want to move all te time. Less sleep .every night. I going to try Tonic water before bed. But I think with gin for beter sleep.😂😂😂❤❤❤
I use a spray on my legs, take magnesium, and massage my legs and feet every day. Sleeping much better now. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing what works for you.
My RLS is a jerky like feeling in my legs. I lash out my legs as they're involuntary, kick up a storm. I feel like I can go crazy with the uncontrollable jerks. This is accompanying the pins and needles, or creepy crawling effect, too. The RLS comes in waves, too. It is similar to being in active labor but without the pain. That's why I said it comes in waves. Unfortunately, I'm getting RLS attacks in the daytime, too. It's bad enough that I'm seeing a licensed hypnotist to help me get through it.
I’ve had RLS for over 20 years and it got to the point of causing severe insomnia and brain zaps. The only thing that keeps it away is eating red meat, salt and water. Pork and chicken are huge triggers. Found your channel a couple months ago and have been working on fixing my digestion in hopes that it’s a mineral deficiency. When I do have issues it can be pretty bad for a night, but if I eat strict red meat it isn’t so bad the next night and then completely gone the next night. Besides maybe too much histamine I haven’t been able to determine root cause.
Hey have you tried iron supplements ? Since red meat is high in iron which could be the reason why you don't sugfer rls when you eat red meat
I have tried both heme and non-heme supplements but they didn’t help. My digestion has gotten tons better after supplementing HCL and Beer Flow. RLS has also been in check and I haven’t had to be super strict with my diet
After painting buildings for some years, and finally hanging up my brushes, I began to experience RLS. What I found is that if I rub DMSO on my legs when they cramp-up at night, and I can't stop moving them after brief intervals, then the cramping immediately stops, and I have no problem sleeping. I now apply it in the morning, and at night before bed.
DMSO the way to go! Good for many different things.
What is DMSO
I’m 40 and have RLS ever since I was a kid. I suffered a long time with it. Finally got some medication for it from the neurologist I saw a couple years ago. It’s Ropinerol hcl. I really hate having to rely on it to sleep though. I seem to get a tolerance from it also and have to keep increasing the dosage. I am now going to try the magnesium at night. I hope it will work. Without the medication I can’t sleep. My legs will keep crawling/ having to move. If I try to fight it I feel it go up towards my heart. I usually have to get up and stretch, or get on the exercise bike. It’s always when I really need to sleep. Sometimes it gets to the point where you’re almost crying because all you want to do is rest and sleep. If worse comes to worse I have to start punching my thighs. It really is the worst!!! If I’m out of the medication I take over the counter “restful legs” dissolving under the tongue tabs
"Leg Anxiety": I had to crack up at that one. That describes it so well. And I'm glad I'm not one of those guys who'd rather poke himself in the eye than read a book. Been getting this RLS a few times recently, like last night. The next day I'm frazzled and useless. I ran out of desiccated liver about a week ago; maybe that's it.
Drinking a small glass of Schweppes indian tonic water before bed really helps, as it contains Quinine, which helps allot .my mums doc used to prescribe her quinine tablets, for RLS ,which worked, the Dr told my mum to try the tonic water as it saves money on prescriptions and no need to take more tablets. Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing this. I wonder if the carbonation in the water might also be helping to improve an overly alkaline bloodstream.
Only problem it's full of sugar. And that contributes to RLS. The quinine is relieving the symptoms but then the sugar kicks in.
@@meatdog Our local grocer only carries a diet tonic water. Not sure of the sugar in it.
I tried quinine three years ago and broke out in purple ‘purpura’ spots. Also have Reye’s syndrome where hands and feet will get very cold and turn purple. I think the rls is both brain neurons and digestive oriented.
Thanks

Out of the blue for 3 nights i started getting like electric feelings running through my legs stipping me sleeping. I stopped taking my multivitamin because maybe i was taking in too much b6 ( was just a thought) started taking magnesium tablets ( 4 kinds included in them) and then no more jumpy legs in the last week. Dont know if its because of this but hope it carries on.
I find walking at least 5km a day keeps me from getting rls.
Thanks for sharing Tammy.
I get RLS every night and have tried just about everything . I have had issues with my bile duct for years causing Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction after having my gallbladder removed
My symptoms are the need to move my legs , it’s like I have things crawling around in my calves, sometimes moving up to my thighs.
I have pain tightening, electric tingling, pins and needles stabbing lost of motion in my toes, and my feet go cold and change color. after getting a iron infusion
Mine is the crawling and creeping feeling. I use magnesium and vitamin lotion. So far so good.
Thanks for sharing!!
I drink pickle juice before I go to bed. It seems to work. It really does.
What a pickle juice?Im suffere 7 years Rls
Pickle juuce is great for RLS symptoms. I also drink 2 TBS of apple cider vinegar diluted in 16 ounces of cold water at bedtime. It has helped a lot. @@sumeemasud7347
Didn't work for me
I had stomache pains that put me in hospital 3 times in 3 weeks and eventually got diagnosed with gastritis and duodenitis. In those 3 weeks I didn't eat much and lost about 8 to 10kg
Got put on 2 different types of antibiotics for a 7 day cycle which ended on friday 4 days ago. For the last 5 days ive had restless legs and arms when I sit down and lay down.
I think my gut issues is the reason. I will definitely get some magnesium tablets and multi vitamins.
Any other tips will be appreciate. Great video thank you
Hi, consider taking a probiotic. Antibiotics destroy gut flora which is essential. Greek yoghurt for example or a probiotic in supplement form . Bon courage
This question will help, and here it goes.Does dry air affect RLS symptoms at the HS hour? My answer is yes and obviously a strong yes if you have no pre-existing conditions. I just made a personal breakthrough in that the new age house temperature or thermo system or unit is breakthrough in that it has added inclusions of an extra option included in the control panel setting to adjust the indoor humidity level too. Older versions are auto, so there is no freedom to have a hands on experience but within required specification. My RLS setting comfort 💖 zone was 55 percent on the control panel at naptime, but I wake up and returned it back or lower back again to below 45 percent during the day time threshold. The new class thermo unitc does not use water per se and use a different configuration away from the water indepent stand alone humidifiers from online or shops etc mold or which may cause complications to individuals with pre- existing conditions like legionares disease or chest conditions. The house unit is safe with different configuration works, especially during the frigid cold, and the indoor air is dry in the summer nights. RLS has been an issue with me, but this thermo setting worked. No RLS and so far youtube channels don't get it lately on any thread and it goes to show that doctors have nothing to give as of this century so please investigate because my comments are lost in the thread at the youtube platform. People need to know since they deserve the news.
I am almost 8 months pregnant, and my RLS started at 27 weeks. Im trying iron and magnesium supplements. Hoping something will help!
Yes, keep in mind that RLS is often a low resources issues and the act of being pregnant takes a LOT of resources to make that human. So it totally makes sense that RLS can start during pregnancy.
Magnesium is very important to take during pregnancy but many doctors will discourage you from taking it but they’re wrong.
…”problems from an EXCESSIVE anabolic imbalance”. I Like your video - but I hate spelling errors! I get RLS on night flights and have found a cure - nothing with sugar the day I am flying. Works very well!
Yeah, did you know that anger from spelling mistakes is also a sign of being overly anabolic. LOL. Not really. But if removing sugar relieves the RLS, you may be creating spikes and crashes in sugar that are magnifying the RLS. This video could give you some insights: ua-cam.com/video/QvvvtyrO_Yw/v-deo.html
I had it for years, burning and electric. I discovered that I wasn’t absorbing vitamin from the food or supplements. L glutamine save me!
How did you discovered that? Bc I feel i has the same
L-glutamine has the ability to lift blood pressure if it's too low and can also correct a catabolic imbalance. That can be beneficial for someone who is not pulling minerals out of their food. But for some folks, glutamine could also magnify RLS for different reasons if the person is already leaning too anabolic. This video can help you figure out if glutamine could be helpful or not: ua-cam.com/video/bhYhU2_LSfM/v-deo.html

RLS often shows up late at night when anabolic performance at the wrong time. Or at a different rate. Anaerobic respiration can happen with hypoxia for remote tissues, due to things like sleep apnea and low breathing regulation. I've had long term low extremity circulation issues, including posterior compartment system. I fixed it with a greens juicing, two pints, overnight. Saved my legs completely. I had 7 healthcare professionals wanting to cut into my legs and simply confused. Nutrition should be the first choice, even under extremes like juicing.
Mine is restless feet constantly rub them together some nights not to bad sometime go to sleep n wake up n it starts just started taking magnesium glycinate hopefully that will help 🙏
Whoa I have to rub my feet together, too. I already take magnesium and my iron levels are fine, but I still get creepy-crawly sensations in my hips and have to move my whole leg, and my feet rub together a LOT. Did the magnesium help? I take mag citrate though so maybe it's only the glycinate form.
I have Juvenile 7:46 😢 hemochromotosis also and had restless leg syndrome since I was in my teens.😢 The only time I had relief for about 5 years when I was prescribed Quinine. Now Quinine is unavailable. Tonic Water does help as muc and magnesium 7 different types in one supplement helps some also.

Try supplementing manganese.
I've never heard anyone else say this helped. thanks for sharing your experience.
@@KickItNaturally manganese is better for upper body twitches. Arms, head, etc.
@@KickItNaturally It typically occurs at the nap hour, and if you are in an environment whereby the room conserves heat too well, then the best approach is to do a before nap time workout routine of your choice for an hour and also remember to keep the dry air out during the summer the best way you know how or winter time using the thermo control with the "fan" control setting on "auto" fan setting simultaneously and not "on". Dry fan air will dissipate at auto setting, and it's good for the lungs when you do your workout out in your room at night before bed. That's my conclusion and cure after 38+ years, too. It seems that at this age, it is the gold standard age experience I've noticed. Human evolution wasn't meant for energy saving high-tech rooms, which trap dry air in rather to the contrary outdoor experience. Who even gets cured off of restless leg syndrome on a couch rather than outdoors doing stuff and then napping in the forest somewhere. I am serious about this. It's a cure on my behalf in every season of the year and counting. My time for a workout is at the 12 mark to 1am. It is cold outside to open windows and dangerous too. unpredictable too if you live with your loved ones.
I don't know how to describe mine, maybe not a "burning" but a discomfort of heat. I feel the need to kick around and move my feet.

Let us know what symptoms you experience with RLS.
I have severe OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) Two years ago I had the Inspire device surgery and my OSA symptoms have much improved, however, I do suffer from RLS as well. My doctor has me on 1200 mg of Gabapentin every night. When I begin to fall asleep one of my legs "kicks" and that keeps me from falling asleep, the Gabapentin prevents this as it has stopped completely. But I would like to try a natural remedy.
I went dairy free and it has disappeared after years of trying to find the right answer for me.
I love that. Dairy an be enough of a burden for some people that I could see that.
I have suffered from this for years. About 10 years ago I was at my pulmonologist office for something unrelated and I happen to mention to him what my legs feel like and how often it happened at night. He chuckled a little bit, took out his prescription pad and said take this is called Mirapex. He said his wife also suffered from this. I started taking Mirapex 25 mg and it works like a charm. It literally takes it away every time. I only took it when I started feeling symptoms but through the years I take 50 mg now and I take it every night before bed, it literally completely takes away the symptoms every single time I don't know what causes it actually nobody does I try to figure out what I do on different days and see if there's any common denominator, but to this day I've never come up with one. My mother has suffered with this for years, but she would not take medication from it until recently. At 90 years old she decided to try it and she started crying two days later because it took the symptoms away. Although I didn't know my grandfather, my mother said he suffered from the same thing so obviously there is some genetic component to it if I didn't have Mirapex, I don't know what I would do, I really don't. If you suffer from restless leg syndrome, haven't tried Mirapex I strongly strongly suggest you do literally a lifesaver.
I'm going to talk to my doctor about mirapex. Rls is getting bad
@@sandracantrell5755 I would absolutely give it a try. I found there to be zero side effects that I know of and my 91-year-old mother just started taking it a few months ago after suffering from it for years and it works perfectly.
Mirapex is mega-expensive. Get your doc to prescribe Pramipexole ( generic form of Mirapex ) instead. Problem with this treatment is that it is susceptible to losing its effectiveness over time, requiring ever increasing doses to be effective ( I think the medical term for this is "augmentation"(?) )
Pramipexol (Mirapex) can cause augmentation and Impulse Control Disorders (ICD). Be very cautious and educate yourself before taking this drug. I took Pramipexol for years and it resolved my RLS for years. But finally had to quit because of the augmentation and ICD. OMG!!! I didn’t know I had the ICD but now realize that it was going to ruin my life. In addition, there are severe withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking this drug. Do your research on these issues and be very cautious!

I’m on 900 mg of Gabapentin ( not working).
Also Hyland restless leg natural tablets, Restless leg creams, sleep in tablets, etc.
Seeing Doc this week and asking prescription for a TOMAC devise.
I’m on a RLS support group, seen two neurologist and meds ( plus full blood work) and a MRI.
I just cry before bed, as it feels like I’m being shocked, it just horrible.
.
Have you tried a hot compress (or heating pad). I’m going to try that tonight to see if that helps.
Mine is going full throttle right now
Hope you find some relief.
Just when I’m transitioning into deep sleep my legs start jerking and I can not control it. For years I’d take a hot shower and that worked but eventually I was taking 3 or 4 hot showers a night. Then started the journey of finding pharmaceutical relief. The only med that ever helped is Lyrica but I hate the side effects. Having break through symptoms now and resisting going up on the medication.
I take Pramipexole .25 mg. Half a tablet daily. It helps but not completely. I will cut down on the sugar. Do not sleep well at all.
Yeah, often the RLS and insomnia can have the same underlying causes for some folks, even when it's not the RLS that is keeping them awake. This video might give you more insights: ua-cam.com/video/3A-6QBWMWVw/v-deo.html
The mentally wrecked feeling that it makes me have is the worst part. I'm so much stronger than this, I dunno why this is happening
I have rls and at night my legs just are like keeping me from me from sleeping and my legs are just flying everywhere

Massage with Organisk kokosoil and magnesium malate before bedtime.
Magnesium oil can be helpful.
Omg how do people sleep with sticky gross oily feeling on the feet and legs. It’s horrible!
lol. We prefer to see people fix the actual underlying cause of the problem like we talk about in this video.
God answered my prayer, I finally found a doctor who has a great heart to share many info FREE and he knows a lot. I will not spend thousands of dollars in vain any more, with no results. God bless you, sir, you are a gift from heaven.
I had RLS since as long as I can remember, on a INSANE severe level. at age 5 in the middle of the night I started cutting my leg with a kitchen knife, on the table, screaming in pain, I just wanted to remove my legs. I couldnt stand it.. it spread all over my system, not just the legs. Suffering from this my entire life until age 12 when I found Cannabis. Thc helped me, except it's illegal in my country and thats when everything falled apart. 18 years later here I sit, just quited smoking 5 days ago.. restless legs instantly came back now and I cant fkn sleep..I need to work tomorrow but will fail because no sleep. I hate this. it has ruined my life. Working out, Running, Eating well, nothing helps. Also it was so mental, at age 5-30(now), All I have to do is hear someone say restless legs and it activates it. so everytime I accidently thought of it, it would start.. endless circle.. I remember once when I had completely forgotten about RLS and didnt experience it for almost a full year, I was about 10 years old here, that's when I realized "holy shit I havent had RESTLESS legs in such a long time!!!", then it came back... like what the fk. kill my brain pls.
Withdrawal symptons maybe? You OK Now? God Bless You
@@legendaryg518 after 14 days I had to give up, almost lost my job. just started smoking weed again and everythings fine.
I too suffer with rls
@@nelphieblessed9682 - Im thinking of asking for medicinal cannabis due to my insane RLS
I was on morphine for 22 years for degenerative disc disease. I decided to get off that poison and went thru withdrawals last year ( it took me about 6 months). The leg traumas were awful during the withdrawals. I’ve been opioid free since August 2022. But RLS started almost immediately. It’s devastating. I don’t sleep for more than two hours a night and sometimes no sleep at all. I was put on the medication for Parkinson’s disease (Requip sp.) I hate that drug. I will only take the smallest dose because of the nasty side effects so it’s not much help at all. It also interacts with many other drugs and supplements including cold medicines and antihistamines. I’m weaning off it now. I have been eating Keto for the past 6 years so no sugar and no more than 20 gm of carbs a day. I take magnesium and calcium supplements daily. Still my legs go crazy every night and a lot during the day. I need to find someone who can help me. Life is awful …people just don’t understand…they blow it off like it’s nothing. No sleep is torture.
feels like creeping under the skin drives me crazy and not just in bed , but in day time its fine
The sensations I get in my legs and buttocks feels like sitting naked on a bristle mat 😢 I also muscle jerks. Mostly my right leg. It feels like a build up of energy in my right buttock, which then lets go, and causes my leg to jerk. If I'm laid on my side. My whole body jerks upwards. I was on pramipexole but got augmentation. Consultant switched me to pregabalin over a year ago. The transition was horrendous. No sleep for weeks. Pregabalin did work for a while.. The awful sensations have stopped, but still jerk when falling asleep.
Creepy, crawly pulling sensations. I'm exhausted from no sleep.
hope this helps
Just try going dairy free. Mine disappeared after years of sleeplessness and Parkinson’s meds
thanks for sharing this Andrea.
Mine is in my feet I just want to break my feet my right worse than my left I suffer with back problems
Nothing is working for me. I am sitting with this horrible . RLS😊
Another eye opener!
B vitamins always give severe restless legs? Not sure why that is?
Thank you....I have suspected B1 for a while as I'm taking it for something else, will stop and see what happens.
An ache and an urge to move legs. Have it all day when sitting down.

Try magnesium
This can help SOME people, but most need more steps than that.
A super hot bath usually calms mine long enough to get to sleep.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
a gin and tonic at 4pm and a bar of soap between the sheets gives me 3 - 6 hours of sleep at night and better naps.
What about the poor ppl trying to sleep next to RLS.my other half sleeps through his legs all night long.i lay there awake.And no we don't have a spare room.And yes we could get singles beds but we both hate that idea

LMAO yes, jogging in my bed, right! It can make you crazy! Requip is the only thing that brings some relief.
