I don’t feel like being put on any type of pharmaceutical medication. For example I’ve read that there is a Parkinson’s medication that works really well for RLS. Anyway it all good if you need to talk about it. I’m hear to listen I guess. For sure it’s psychological pain and I doubt I will ever “beat” it.

RLS runs pretty deep in my family (3 generations), but we don´t get it as bad as I read below. For me, it's been more than 30 years of having it now, and sometimes I get it on my arms and chest. My top 3 last-minute "cures" have been (in decreasing order of effectiveness, drum roll) 1) Extremely hot but bearable immersion bath right before going into bed (a great night of sleep guaranteed), 2) sex (creates a 15min window to fall asleep), 3)stretching (but I´ll go with one the first two if possible).
@m.p.60392 жыл бұрын
My "cures" are keeping my legs as cool as possible, like never covering them up with bedsheets; and taking a teaspoon of mustard. For some reason that sometimes helps for long enough for me to go to sleep. EDIT: scratch that, I've found that giving yourself a deep tissue massage with a roller stick for an hour allows me to sleep through the night without a hitch. It's super painful but it works.

For what it's worth, here's what's made a huge difference for me... :) I've been a long time sufferer of RLS and after 12 years of research and personal trial and error, I found that toxicity... caused by drugs and the highly compromised stuff we tend to call food now... is definitely what led to a compromised digestive system and subsequently my RLS. Once I had it, it took me several year's to notice that what I was eating, was definitely effecting it. The liver, which removes toxins from the body, also makes the bile (which helps break down our food) that's then stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. The bile from the gallbladder works in conjunction with the digestive enzymes from the pancreas, to break down our food. When the liver gets overloaded with toxins, it has more difficulty making bile. The concentrated bile in the gallbladder also starts to thicken, turn into "sludge" and (many people believe) gallstones. This in turn effects the pancreas, which also becomes blocked and can't function correctly and that's definitely not a good thing because it can begin to basically dissolve itself with its own digestive enzymes if it gets blocked. A compromised gallbladder can lead to neck pain on the right side, since there is a nerve that goes from the gallbladder to the neck and when the gallbladder us swollen, it'll press on that nerve. In my experience, I also developed pain in the left side of my neck (even a lump actually) and experienced pain in the middle of my back. I also had pain, that lovely "knife in the shoulder blade" feeling as well. I went round and round with doctors, specialist and treatments to try and figure out what all my intense neck, back and shoulder pain was being caused by for years. Each doctor scratching their head, referring me to another one, or just deciding that it must be arthritis.... ie: inflammation. I also began to develop food sensitivities, which were also signs of a compromised digestive system. In fact my digestion finally got so bad... and my RLS along with it... that I couldn't eat without pain, so I went on a 3 day water fast. ....and within 3 days, almost all my pain went away, I cut my RLS in half and I began sleeping like a baby. The swelling around my eyes, my face in general (jowls, under chin, etc.) lessened dramatically. All the bloating around my middle (which I thought had been fat), went almost entirely away. In fact, I went down a whole pants size in that 3 days. There was a big improvement in my cognitive function and clarity. All my "menopause" symptoms evaporated. The list went on and on. In the end I realised that all these numerous, "different" physical symptoms, we're all being caused by the same thing. Toxicity and a compromised digestive system. The other things that made noticeable differences over the years, more than others, included liquid diets (soups, smoothies, juices) and taking potassium citrate powder (a high dose) and magnesium citrate powder. Of course, those were good because they also help reset your bodies digestive system and are excellent for your pancreas and gallbladder. One of the ironies of being put on medication for RLS, is that this also backs up and adds dramatically to the toxicity of your liver/gallbladder/pancreas. Bad fats, bad sugar's, stress and nonorganic diets are pretty much the majority of the others. Other interesting things to note... a high percentage of people with IBS, another "digestive disorder", also have RLS.... surprise. More women than men have RLS. Also twice as many women also have gallbladder issues as men. Another digestive correlation. The list goes on. Personally, after years of research, I'm convinced that toxicity (which trust me, is pretty much all of us these days!) leads to digestive issues, which causes inflammation all over the body. Since inflammation is the cause of almost every "disease" out there, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realise what the cause of all these diseases are. Anyway, I hope this information helps others to connect the dots if their experiencing these same issues to. :)

I have been connecting the dots this year to diet and my RLS and yes unfortunately they are related. I do have IBS and as of last year have food identified food sensitivities. I am menopausal and believe all of this started with those hormonal changes. Foods that trigger my RLS: anything spicy (chillie powder) anything with sugar, red and yellow food dye, and sadly wine. Beer and meat irritates my IBS which then leads to a few nights of RLS. I did an experiment the other day. Dinner: All plant food, no wheat, no sugar, eating no later than 6:30pm and no booze, and I fell asleep with no kicking. I also stayed asleep for most of the night. Oh and no diarrhea the next day! I am now going to add a magnesium supp. and see. Oh another trigger...when I have worked in the garden or gone on a long hike and my body is exhausted. Instead of relaxing and falling right to sleep, I am kicking and shaking for hours....:(

For me I've found I only get this on the onset of sleep. If it starts there and I break it with the walking, then it doesnt occur again for the rest of the night. I also find that if i start to fall asleep on my back then I get RLS more often. Not sure why, so i always make sure to side sleep when falling asleep. Good luck

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 comes in waves, I can be really OK for months and suddenly it comes back and it's awful, I just cant fall asleep, I am a doctor I am usually really tired and I fall sleep as soon as my head touches the pillow, or sooner, but this thing... Drives me mad. The worst part is that I can't help myself, sometimes it comes during consults or while I am just sitting, reading or anything, and during the "crisis" I am afraid to try to fall asleep I know I won't until I take alprazolam(as a last resource) but then it is really hard for me to wake up. The frustration makes me want to cry and after a few days of not sleeping properly I do. All I want to do is fall asleep is it really that hard? I feel like no one can help me.

Kratom will make it stop. Do not abuse it though, only use it when you need to, it can cause dependence, addiction, and withdrawal. Kratom is a natural pseudo-opiate. It mimics opioids, but isn't one, not quite.. Because of this, it will bind to the D2 site, stopping RLS. You can buy it without a prescription online. It is legal in most states.

TIP: If you drive slower with your car, you're putting less stress into your mental and physical body. And therefore feeling better and more peaceful/relaxed. And should get less RLS symptoms. At least it works for me.

Forget medications to treat this, you only end up with more side effects. Use good supplements like iron, and Magnesium flakes (better than epsom salts) in a foot bath, as the body absorbs it better that taking a supplement. Go to a naturopath. As soon as you get your vitamin and minerals to a sufficient level and have your gut working right to supply your body with all it needs to function and replace cells, you will heal. It's how we are designed. If you cut yourself, what happens, it heals. All of your symptoms will eventually dissipate. The body is designed to heal given what it needs. I have just been working really hard these last few weeks and forgot my magnesium spray and supplements. I have become low and the restless leg syndrome came back. It's like black and white now. I know to keep myself healthy and I have managed to conquer RLS, anxiety, depression, bipolar, a tumor, low energy, all sorts.

People who have never had RLS cannot imagine how horrible it is. I've had my left foot smashed off and reattached and I would rather go through that ordeal again rather than suffer from RLS. God only knows how many have died due to the consequences of RLS. When the prickly feeling it's just a matter of a few seconds before it explodes with an uncontrolled leg jerk that sends shockwaves over the whole left side of my body. I get it in the right leg sometimes but usually, it's the left that I get the worst of it. The only thing that stops it is Oxycodone 10-325. I've been taking Oxycodone, Morphine Sulfate and Tinazadine for the last 7 years for the pain in my left foot, left hip replacement, and back pain. I get a bonus taking the Oxy for my foot as it helps the RLS. But if it ever starts, it's a good two to six hours for even Oxy to stop it.

Try this: press firmly on the area between your big toe and second toe on one or both feet with your thumb and index finger. You have to feel around and dig a bit to find the most tender spot and hold it firmly for several minutes. I learned this from a Chinese doctor and acupuncturist. A few times I had forgotten to take my afternoon medicine and was laying on the table full of needles. I told the Dr. That I would have to get up and move around, spoiling the session. She grasped that area between my toes and held it firmly. To my huge surprise the jumpy legs subsided. Now I use it sometimes in addition to all the other things I do, including medication. I hope this helps someone else.

I've had fasciculations in both legs for 2 years. The neurologist diagnosed RLS and prescribed dopamine agonists, first Mirapex then Requip. There was little or no improvement with either. The agonists made me very nauseous so Transderm Scop was added. Within several weeks of steady use, I experienced new, more distracting symptoms. The large skeletal muscles in my legs would involuntarily tighten and relax, reminding me of peristalsis. It seems like the voluntary skeletal muscles are behaving like involuntary bowel muscles. Anyway, I notified the neurologist that I was weaning off the agonists with hopes of reversing this troubling development. Thanks for listening

Akathisia, otherwise known as restless legs, is actually the symptom behind motor tics in people with Tourette's. I've been battling it in varying degrees all my life, along with opioid dependency, as opioids are one of the few things that will stop severe akathisia.. The downside is, if you become opioid dependent and you suffer RLS, tourette's, or Parkinson's, or any other neurological disorder that can cause akathisia, your akathisia will be 10x worse when you go through withdrawal.. I've been on methadone ever since I had my wisdom teeth extracted at 17 and found out hydrocodone stopped the akathisia.. If you have ADHD or any other dopamine related disorder, you likely have RLS to varying degrees. Stay away from SSRI's and antipsychotics, and of course, opioids, unless you want to be on them for the rest of your life (upside to that is.. No more RLS, though.)

I was searching all over the internet, digging deep in to pubmed records and stuff, and finally found this double blind study they did with cell phone radiation to see if it effects peoples behavior (brain wave synchronization, you know,) and they found that in average people, the frequencies put out by cellphones excite the brain and cause moderate temporary restlessness. A majority of the people tested couldn't fall asleep for an average of an hour after being exposed to the frequencies emitted by a cell phone making a call, and connecting. Weird huh? I have a big cell tower and large power lines near my neighborhood, and when I walk on the trail through the woods and pass by them, my RLS always acts up until I can get some distance.

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.

This was caused by holding a cell phone to my head while talking for long periods of time. I've tried all the suppliments, diet changes, leg hitting and working out and found very little relief. Tried something called clonidine with no luck. The only thing that has worked is half a lortab 10 before bed.. I sleep for 3 hours, wake up with restless legs, take another half, sleep for another 2 or 3 hours.. I usually have to take 3 halves every night to be normal.. Without lortabs I get anywhere from zero to 3 hours of really bad sleep.. And in that case I have to take hot baths during the night to get about 30 mins of sleep each time.. Its absolute torture.

Europe probably doesn't recommend them as much because they're smarter than most docs here! Lol
