Christine ~ RN, oh she's a miserable thing for sure. Like a guy I know with, "Little man's complex."
Jenna
I have severe RLS and PLMD. Both terrible, horrible afflictions! I have to keep my iron high and take seizure meds to sleep
Trish
I have RLS and have had since very young. I used to blame my brother for pulling off my comforter at night!! Extra magnesium helped a bit but gabapentin took care of it. Strong correlation between RLS and low iron. Ferrous level should be 75 and it’s hard to get mine higher than 14 with supplements and then constipation stops compliance.

Karen , I have severe RLS as well. It will usually start around noon and last all day. My MD prescribed a drug called " sandoz- pramipexole " . One a day seems to take care of it. I hope you get some relief.

Tory
I have RLS, I hate it but my brother told me to take Vitamin D3 with K2. it helps a lot, in fact the minute I stop taking it the RLS starts

Das, My RLS turned out to be diabetic neuropathy! Marijuana chewies ( can't smoke it) have helped me.

Terri, Same here, my sister is an RN and suggested magnesium. OTC and I have been taking 250mg and sleep well.
Karen
Jenna, I have severe RLS, had it for years I take seizure meds to sleep but not always effective, it's a horrid condition and sometimes it is all day
Eddie
Player #91082006, I have fibromyalgia. I find it really hard to stay still. When my whole hand was in plaster after fracturing my little finger severely, I discovered how much I was used to wiggling my fingers to ease pain.
Ddamu
I get rls sometimes from prolonged sitting that effects me at night. It stems from an over-tight hamstring, so to help it relax I stretch my calves and hip flexors to help release the tension it under. Then the twitch instantly dissipates. Honestly the only thing that helps me.
Rachel
Lori, I have spider veins all over my legs!
Rachel
indeed, I suffer from this, cannot sit or lie still 😑
Stephanie
RLS is very misunderstood; RLS can affect the whole body at any given time and not just at night. People who don't have it can never truly understand how miserable it can be.
Player #91082006
Fibromyalgia sufferers experience restless leg syndrome.
