restless leg syndrome

Jump to newest

I seem to have been suffering from what I believe is restless leg syndrome for the past 6 weeks. I don't know why. But I can't sleep some nights and I have to keep getting out of bed to do this bizarre ritual of rubbing my legs and jumping up and down on the spot in a failed attempt to stop the annoying pain and agitation.

does anyone know what causes it or how to stop it ?

Before I go insane. X

I used to suffer with it during pregnancy.

Midwife told me to soak feet in a bucket of hot water. As hot as I could stand it.

Also drink tonic water.

It might be an old wives tale, but it did help.

Sorry youre suffering.

Cheers. I have found a hot bath helps. I don't know if drinking too much coffee isn't helping

I have coffee so I suppose it would be better to have water.

Magnesium and/or salt should help.

I have had this for years. Lying in bed is the only thing that stops it at night. It's murder on long haul flights too. If I do get it at night, I take paracetamol and ibuprofen.

I suffer with it occasionally for a few days at a time. I've found that a couple of paracetamol shortly before bedtime solves the problem.

But keep in mind what I said, for me its 'occasionally' you must not use paracetamol as an everyday fix unless a doctor tells you otherwise.

I've had it off and on for years. I look like an idiot but I tend to spend an hour before bed upside down with my legs in the air and my head hanging off the sofa when it comes on. Only problem once I fall asleep is that it tends to lead to me kicking anyone sharing a bed with me really hard in the shins.

I was told this was a potassium deficiency and to eat a banana. Seems to work but it could have been psychological I suppose....

Doc gave my wife tablets for it and solved the problem.
