WHAT IS RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME:
Restless leg syndrome or RLS, also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a common condition of the nervous system. It is very common and affects at least 2% of the population. done
It typically causes an overwhelming urge to move your legs and an uncomfortable sensation in your legs. The sensation may also affect your arms, chest and face.
It's been described by some as:
Tingling, burning, itching or throbbing. A "creepy-crawly" feeling. Feeling like fizzy water is inside the blood vessels in the legs. A painful cramping sensation in the legs.
These unpleasant sensations can range from mild to unbearable and are usually worse in the evening and during the night. They can often be relieved by moving or rubbing your legs. Some people experience symptoms occasionally, while others have them every day.
People with Restless leg syndrome may find it difficult to sit for long periods of time (for example, on a long train journey). More than 80% of people with restless leg syndrome also have periodic limb movements in sleep or PLMS for short. If you have PLMS, your leg will jerk or twitch uncontrollably, usually at night while you're asleep. The movements are short and repetitive, and usually occur every 20 to 40 seconds. PLMS can be severe enough to wake you up. The involuntary leg movements can also occur when you're awake and resting.
WHAT CAUSES RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME:
When it comes to understanding the causes and treating Restless leg syndrome, there are two major categories primary and secondary.
Primary Restless leg syndrome is where there is no identifiable cause, it tends to start at a much younger age and there is often a positive family history in around two thirds of patients.
Secondary Restless leg syndrome is where there is an identifiable process driving the condition, so treatment is aimed at addressing the underlying cause as well as managing symptoms. There are many things that cause Secondary Restless leg syndrome, if you would like to know more about these visit the following NHS link: www.nhs.uk/conditions/restles...
Now before we run through the tips that can help with Restless leg syndrome its super important that you first speak to your healthcare professional to make sure there are no underlying health conditions, once you’ve done that feel free to try any of these tips.
As mentioned in the video here are some helpful exercises on the NHS page: www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise...
As mentioned in the video here is a really useful caffeine calculator, the page is designed for pregnant women but I find the caffeine calculator tool really helpful - www.tommys.org/pregnancy-info...
SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE FOR RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME:
If any of these lifestyle tips do not work for you or if you have any concerns about the frequency and severity of the symptoms described earlier, you may need to speak to a healthcare professional.
Some people with Restless leg syndrome never seek medical attention because they worry they won't be taken seriously. But Restless leg syndrome can interfere with your sleep, cause daytime drowsiness, affect your quality of life and even cause anxiety and depression this is why its so important to Talk with a healthcare professional if you think you may have Restless leg syndrome.
The charity Restless Leg Syndrome UK also provides really helpful information and support for people affected by restless leg syndrome. They may be able to put you in touch with other people in your area affected by the condition - www.rls-uk.org/

Dear Abraham,
Thank you so much for your helpful advices. Somehow you always manage to release the perfect video at the exact same time I seem to experience the same issue. Are you a wizard?
Glad it was helpful!

@@AbrahamThePharmacist 5:26 not in my case sir.
I read your comments about restless leg last nite and wasin the deep of it and still am.Its been like this for months.Someone should know somewayto cure this torture.
Exactly. This info was pretty worthless.
Sleep helps restless legs..... But I can't sleep because of it ...... 😭
Took the words out of my mouth
This makes me mad mad mad
same exact thing to me
I have the cure really I do
@@thatllberite8287 nice so what is it
i just wanna fucking sleep
Have you treid magnesium ( citraat ) ? It helps me a lot.
It's 3:30am and I've had severe RLS in my legs and arms since 6pm. I haven't slept yet. I feel like I'm going crazy 😪
Ropinirole or Mirapex will help you sleep well
I so get it as I have had this bout of restless legs for about a month. Please I need sleep. I am crying at 3 am because I need sleep now
It feels like an uncomfortable feelings in my bones, I’ve literally pounded on my legs to try to get rid of the feeling. It makes me wanna cry cuz i just wanna go to sleep
Same bro,when i recover from stress i feel weird of my body until it feels unusual it so hard to sleep i keep shaking my feet until i fall asleep😔
Hi everyone. It's 06:15am 🇬🇧 and I haven't slept a darn wink all night because of RLS. My legs just won't relax. I've got out of bed several times and walked around in my bare feet but that hasn't helped at all. Back in my bed now and using a support cushion to elevate my legs to see if that will do the trick. I am so tired, yawn yawn!
I take Ropinirole
I sleep well
Try a Vitamin C tablet during the day and perhaps one in the late evening. Works great for me almost instantly. Just a few minutes to start working.
Cannibis drops i have the one with tumeric
IV had for years the only thing is a heavy pain killer,s8
RLS is also caused by iron deficiency. I’m very surprised he never mentioned this
Not in every case
I have a blood condition that causes me to have excess of iron….unfortunately that doesn’t help for me
Not iron deficiency per se but the iron deficiency in the brain (blood may be fully "ironed" and the brain still not enough due something interfering with the iron absorption there).

Thank you
My poor granddaughter suffered from this, they had to take her out of school cause she couldnt wake up on time for school. Poor thing.
I sometimes sleep early but I wake up from my legs from twitching as if you caught a fish from the water and is going crazy! As I’m typing this now I’m feeling extreme pain in my legs and I believe this is the first time I notice the pain in my legs it’s currently 3:34am and can’t sleep! 😩
My RLS feels like ocean waves that come and go on a horrible cycle about 15 minutes after laying down for bed. At first I'm tired and can almost fall asleep, but then the waves begin. It's a feeling of this weird sensation of wanting to jump out of my body like some electrical nerve shock that gets stronger, then backs down. Moving my legs, tossing and turning seem to help temporarily, but the waves never stop. I usually have to get up and go eat something and walk around for a while to make it stop. It's a horrible feeling for those who suffer from this and I have for over three decades. I'm perfectly fine all day. It's only when I go to bed. The ONLY time I slept still like a baby is when I had Vicodin on hand due to a cyst removal on my back for pain. It was wonderful, but they can't prescribe Vicodin for RLS because it's a narcotic. But hey, it worked! Yet, they'd rather have people suffer all their lives. Go figure.
@@Punchgodx same I completely understand how this could drive people to being suicidal. I’m sure ppl have ended bc of this. Hang in there. I know we will find peace and relief eventually.
@@Punchgodx Please dont do that.
The doctor has stifrol medacine as this helps and takes it away
@@bronwynishac5240 can you tell us more about this drug?
I can totally relate….this is exactly what I experience…😢
I literally was sick the other day, I could've cried because of it, I just couldn't sleep
me 2
I feel you buddy I remember being 5 and for the life of me not being able to explain it but now that I can I’ll explain it
Mine works like I need to stretch out my legs but I can never fix it, what about you
A cold shower can work soaping up your legs with a loofah and then drying well with a towel. I hope it works, sounds just awful
I take magnesium glycinate, D3 and K2 at night. Then I dissolve 3 tablets of Hylands Restful legs PM. If I’m still struggling, I drink electrolytes.
sometimes i punch my leg because it makes me so mad lol
Take magnesium it will assist your legs it relaxes the nerves
Yeah....I do that all the time too . I sometimes go really crazy moving my legs and I just wanted to feel a ceratin pain to my legs.
You can also get restless arms!
I get those too
😯😯
I always feel this one, I never thought this is how it is called.I am so guilty with too much caffeine consumption and lack of sleep and exercise. 🥺
Thanks for the knowledge. 👏
Aye
Ahhh yes. Very timely. Thanks!
Thanks for tuning in Alex, sending awesome vibes :)
Crazy relief for me is an organism. Everything relaxes and I can go to sleep.
Love this guy straight to the point and informative. My leg is killing me and I've tried everything it's soo horrible to have RLS 😭😭
Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Bruh, she is dying not enjoying.
EveAtkins take magnesium
Take magnesium, iron, potassium,
Use pyridoxine 100mg 30 mins before bed. (Vitamin b6)). You will rest easy. Has worked for me for 30yrs.
Thank you for sharing this video!
Glad I could help
I have tried everything, including all the super duper things mentioned in this video and none of them come close to solving the problem for me. Sometimes, my RLS generalizes to my whole body. It is so bad at times that I feel I would do just about anything to get out of my body. It is far beyond an annoyance. I take pramipexole. If I miss taking a pill at the right time, the suffering sets in until the medication kicks in. That means I will be pacing the floor. No sleep. Sometimes for hours. An additional issue with the medication is that it causes insomnia. Initially, it puts me to sleep. Then it wakes me up. Also, once you start taking it you have to continue or go through a massive dangerous withdrawal or a slow uncomfortable taper down, and you have to up you dose over time to get the same relief. My doctors don't help much. They just tell me that RLS is not well understood. I also have degenerated discs in my lower back and neck and ADHD, which likely aggravate the issue. The name of the syndrome makes it sound so minor. It is anything but minor.
nothing helps, mine comes and gos and i just cant get to the bottom of what makes it better or worse , v annoying, havent had a good nights sleep in years
I'm also on pexola for 15 years now. I have all the symptoms you described. Nothing helps for me except pexola, no natural treatments helps for me at all
My RLS sounds very similar to yours - 20+ years. I take carbidopa-levodopa (sinemet), combined with gabapentin. For bedtime, the gabapentin works faster than sinemet. Another #1 amazing aid to relief and sleep is a sleep/anxiety med called hydroxyzine hcl - i literally take just a half pill (or less) and all symptoms quickly disappear and sleep comes suddenly and quickly. Nothing works every time, but most of the time - yes.
It helps me is knowing that there are so many people like yourself who feel the exact same way as I do. Like you, sometimes I wish I could just jump out of my own body. I have other health issues which recently put me in the hospital. While there I was on some heavy duty painkillers. It was so nice to be pain-free including no RLS for a few days. I slept like a baby. But then I returned home and it was back to hell. But thank you for your post. Are not alone.
it’s not painful for me but it tingles/tickles and it gets really annoying
ugh same! no pain at ALL. it’s just annoying/ uncomfortable. and my anxiety reacts so bad that i start to get nervous and a nauseous feeling… not too many tickles more like jerking or spasm feeling.
I cant sleep with rls plz guide me

I've had severe RLS for 25 years plus. Have lots and lots of advice. Biggest piece of advice. Never allow over-tired, go to bed early at a consistent and regular bedtime. If meds, pre-medicate to sync w bedtime.
Thanks for the tips Chad
Great advice , on the topic thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Your video is very eye opening, it all makes sense.I’ll talk to my doctor and continue from there.thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Stimulants actually help me, but it really depends on the type of RLS you suffer from.
There's a few mechanisms. From what I Geneve, the most common one is dopamine deficiency, or a problem with its uptake/transfer? (Not a doctor, just a sufferer). But there are at least two more leading to lack of oxygen in muscles.
Be careful when suggesting sleep to rls sufferers, you might get a sore nose...
It's literally horrible to have RLS. You want to go to sleep but you cant!!
RLS impacts me day and night and is getting worse as I get older. My quality of life is so bad I've honestly considered ending it because I can't stand it anymore. My doctor is less than useless, he has prescribed me a dopamine agonist but it's never helped and he refuses to prescribe the other drugs than are recommended because they can be abused. I don't know what to do.
Maybe change doctors get second opinion.
I feel the same way it takes over your whole life I take Ropinirole tablets but for the last year they have been making me feel really ill I do still have to take them because if not I would have to be walking round all night.
Try kratom!
No don’t try kratom pls but if you do pls be careful pls
Thank you so much, this video was chock full of fantastic information and the presentation was wonderful. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great advice thank you.

Thanks for this I asked for it.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Shortly after becoming a type 2 diabetic, I started
getting unilateral leg symptoms. As soon as I sit down, especially in a recliner it starts. Had good relief with iron but eventually had to go on Ropinerole.
An excellent video Abraham, many thanks indeed. I used to suffer from RLS a lot about 15 - 35 years ago, the only thing that helped was: Slightly bending whichever leg was affected, gently lift the opposite leg then pushing all my weight onto the RSL leg and gently bending it repeatedly for about 3-5 minutes. A little like stretching the affected leg I suppose.
That always works for me. A few months ago I had the same problem in my R arm while I was in bed. I used the same way to stop it: Push the outstretched arm hard against the wall, then gently bend it repeatedly 3-5 minutes. It really does work.
Very many thanks Abraham, and as I always say….you’re a 💎
Thank you so much for sharing Sue, sending awesome vibes :)
I can say that I had a similar issue or even the "Leg Syndrome" I didn't know in the past about this issue, I had a feeling to move my leg, not really a pain, I was just feeling to move my leg. Of course, if you will remind or think about this issue the human will feel it more present than it already is if I move my leg once I would feel the need to move it, but this doesn't happen all the time, and recently I didn't have any problem about this.
Thank you for sharing this information! Do injuries cause RLS? I fractured my tibia spine and plateau, and tore my MCL. I have been waking up from the injured leg repeatedly jerking at night.
Well said, I develop restless leg syndrome when my grandma passed away last year. I went into depression and im still healing.. My body couldn't handle my stress..
Sorry to hear about this Angela, thank you for sharing and hope you're doing better
@@AbrahamThePharmacist I'm kind of doing better but I have my ups and downs. It sucks because she passed away the day before Christmas.
I also developed this after when My beloved pet passed away last month from then I felt like I'm in depression and this leg restless is killing me more...I can't sleep and even unable to focus in my studies....I feel irritated most of the times.
@@palindrome4737 I'm so sorry that you lost your pet. I know how you're feeling. I live near the mountains more inland of San Diego we had chickens wiped out by Coyotes and my mom freaked out. I hope you get better soon it be okay 😊..
@@Its-Angela I'm also sorry for your loss hope you also be great soon 😄
My legs get going at bedtime.Some times I get a bit of sleep. Sometimes calcium with D3 and magnesium will helps. I wear out bottom sheets often.Where my feet are moving they become completely thread bare. It runs in my family too!
thank you so much man
Happy to help - sending awesome vibes :)
Abraham, thank you for all that you do for the world!
Thank you so much! Sending you awesome vibes!
I’m 21 rn and i’ve had it since as long as i can remember, my grandma has it too. Recently i’ve been getting the feeling in my left hand and it’s unbearable, getting it in both the hand and legs all at the same time has led me here but there’s no info for treating it in the hand
Cold shower or keeping leg in shower helps alot
I have it in my legs, and that must be the feeling l’m having in my face lately thanks
It seems to kick in for me when sleeping and get hot. 😭
Helpful thanks
Glad I could help
I think this is general advise which can be applied to many conditions, like avoiding stimulants, sleeping well, exercise.
It mostly happens to me when I'm very tired and trying to sleep, and after exercising, also when I had something that has alot of sugar.
I live where hospitals doesn't really diagnosed those, I just found it out maybe 6-8 months ago
Same with me … found anything helpful ?
Try exercising in the first part of the day. Evening activities will increase neural sensitivity and aggrevate the problem as the doc mentioned.
@@Mr.Helper. Most of time, I avoid food or drinks some had alot sugar in it. And most of time, I avoid thinking about it it works but not at nights. So at night, I massages my legs it relaxes. To be honest, I avoid sugar most of time, bc it triggers RLS of mine.
It is sugar. Its also carbohydrates like bread and pasta. I have them really bad. If I eat a clean keto diet, with lots of magnesium and potassium. I also take 500mg of bentiamine, with a a multi B then I don't get them. All these vitimines help ro metabolis carbs, or sugar.
The iron theory doesn't work.
This guy no help..
For 30 years I have had this and never spoken about it I have even beaten my legs with a hammer due to the pain, after watching this I believe I have RSL I will contact my doctor to talk about having test done.
Jesus mate, a hammer....
I bought a tens unit with muscle stimulator.
Please seek medical advice . You have Restless Leg Syndrome. You can get help. However do NOT agree to take Pramipexole or Ropinerole, they cause many problems after a while. They are called dopamine agonists. Avoid them. But please see your doctor. You shouldn't suffer this alone. I've had it for 40 years so I know a bit about it. Good luck 👍
You said get enough sleep. But how can you sleep when you have rls?
I cant sleep as well,these feeling of not moving is kind of painful but not in pain at the same time
Change the time of sleep sometimes works. Evening is when it comes on full blast for me. I cannot sleep between 9pm and 4am. Impossible! At 4am like clockwork it just disappears completely and a warm fuzzy feeling enters my legs and right arm. Then I sleep like the dead!
It keeps me from sleeping
Sleep study done ….. I woke up 98 times per hour due to leg twitches
Did u have RL b4 the study?
Wow hey surprise RLS is the main reason I can't sleep really????????
I was just diagnosed with moderate RLS and it’s rough. I also have moderate insomnia so my sleep schedule is off the charts. And at one point I was taking a high stimulative pre workout. Any tips to help at all ?
how many times in a year do you have it?
I get it once or twice a year, just a itchy feeling but it’s usually if it’s at night when i’ve been trying to sleep for a hour
Thanks for sharing your experience
My mom is suffering from RLS. I hope it will be gone so i wont see my mom suffer so much. Thanks for the advice. Love from the Philippines
Glad I could help
Thank you.♥️
It's basically kicking and punching in the air out of no where. I have it every night. It's torture 😭
Me too🙏❤️
Me too why won’t they help us😞
Me too very frustrating 😭😭😭😭😭
My restless leg is a feeling of *constantly* needing to stretch how should I go about sleeping with it i already have insomnia so it’s 2x as hard to sleep
It doesn't work for me anymore but I used to jump using the effected leg or do one legged squats to the point my leg just give out, doing that give me a 10 minute window were I could get to sleep if I was exhausted enough.
I took a sleeping gummy, slept at 10 pm woke up at 2 am because of my RLS, and now it 7 54 am haven't slept at all
How does your skin look refresh and shinny all the time ? share your diet chart ... and please somthing particular if yu do to your skin or apply any cream.
I am 59 years old and have had RLS since I was a kid. In Australia, the medical fraternity know nothing about it. 16 years ago, I was prescribed opiates for pain management. This also provided total relief from RLS. I get it in both legs, my right arm and the right side of my face. I have RLS 24/7. I would rather not have the opiate addiction but without it, I would gladly remove my legs or pull the pin. I can not get any help at all in Australia.
I find magnesium makes a big difference. I take a magnesium supplement and also use a magnesium and lavender spray directly on the worst areas when the symptoms are at their worst. The combination between the spray,and probably also getting out of bed to go use the spray, can give me enough of a window of decreased symptoms in order to get to sleep at least.
I always feel that the name 'restless legs' is very minimising and misleading because I get the symptoms in the rest of my body too, not just my legs. I have a couple of other conditions and always notice that the restless legs/body is worse when my fatigue from those other conditions is worse. I'm also in a wheelchair and mostly bed bound and nobody tells you what to do when the one thing that is supposed to help the most (getting up and moving around/exercise) is something you can't physically do!
Thanks for sharing and sending awesome vibes!
It usually hits me during dialysis. I've had to cut sessions short because it drives me crazy.
I am on nightly PD for 11 hours and RLS affects me frequently. I am thinking of switching to Hemo as I never had RLS with hemo and it would be done during waking hours anyway so I can deal with it. It is torture going several days without sleep then skipping treatments just to get a night of rest. Best of luck to you.
I thought this post of yours would explain why my husband 's feet involuntarily march in time with his stomach breathing. I wish.
Is it weird if I can suffer RLS symptoms every night for a week straight before it finally goes away for a few days. Stretching, massages, and mental stimulation are the only methods that have ever worked for me, even if only for a little bit.
Nope mine does that also
@@mylesmanion8235 Funny you are choosing this time, I haven't had a good night sleep in a week thanks to my legs 🤣
Made a lot of enemies when I had RLs on a delayed flight to LAX …it was hell
I had the same problem on a flight to Europe. Thankfully, I could switch places with my husband and stretch out in the aisle.
I had an absolutely terrible flight to the UK a few days ago. It was 8 hours of absolute terror
Try no sugar from midday on ..no foods with sugar ..if i have it now i can always trace it to sugar intake . Good luck
I have RLS, and it runs over the entirety of both of my legs and feet and up throughout my hips and lower back. Drives me absolutely insane! 💀
I changed my diet drastically. It's got to be the reason. I have not understood what stops it.
I was diagnosed 4 years ago with RLS bad it is hereditary, on my Mums side every single one of us has it. I was put on Sifrol take at night and I have to Mersyofen for pain it's does help. However salt, sugar, caffeine and smoking alcohol is major causes for RLS. I regularly have a hot bath with Epson salts. And elevate helps to.
i've been experiencing RLS for years. but the last two months is the worst. i have been prescribed with rivotril. it helps me a lot.
I live in America, have severe RLS and can't get my doctor to take it seriously. She can't be bothered.
Feelslikebugs or worms crawling under the skin. At x extendsto arms. On Ropinarole. But worry cause requiringmire and more help
Ropinirole will eventually make it worse. Your body gets used to it and augmentation kicks in. It's a bugger of a thing to treat.
Hi bro, I really appreciate your videos. I have a question for you regarding the medications for CoVid 19. Do you think chlorine dioxide is good for blood oxygenation caused by the lack of oxygen due to the symptomps of CoVid 19? Great videos, keep going 👍🙏
I have had RLS for over 20 years. I'm a landscaper by trade so I work very hard I stay hydrated but the minute I sit down to rest whether it's daytime night time it starts. And it's like electric shock in my legs. I am having spasms right this very minute. My doctor prescribes mirapex and sometimes it helps and sometimes it makes it worse. I am at the end of my damn rope
You may want to switch to Ropinirole if Mirapex doesn’t work
Ripinerole gave me evil nightmares
I understand how you feel. I did not know what it was but I have had it since I was 18 at least. Telling your healthcare doctor does not help. They do not understand nor care how bad it is. No tests just give you something to shut you up. If you have not hada this or lived with someone who does, you can't understand how bad it is.
I notice my calves get very tight and knot up before rls starts and it happens when sitting or sleeping. I hate it!!! I hope it goes away
RLS was driving me bats. Did two things and the condition pretty much vanished: 1) gave up sleep aids, and 2) two banana's (not over-ripe) a day. Am good to go. Am 66 y.o.
I can't sit for 10 min straight...i feel like to strech my back my whole body in every 10 min.. without it a sensation runs over my body nd i can't sit focus bcz of that
This is anecdotal but cutting carbs drastically improves rls for me within a day
I am in my 60’s, years ago my grandma would walk around the house at night and during the afternoon and evening she would sit and just rub her legs. Now we know why. My Mom and family didn’t realize what the problem was, and didn’t think of talking to the doctor. Now still at my age I am on 2 medications, sometimes I have to double up on the dose. My doctor doesn’t believe me. She wants me to take one pill a day, if I need it. Needless to say I did tell her different. She still says try it. I know exactly what will happen
I am having RLS couple of months ago. now i am expecting, i has become a nightmare for me. Even i m taking iron but its not working for me. Throughout the day i feel sleepy and cranky bcz i m sleep deprived. Im so done with this problem.
Pressure on sciatica and also legs cramp may cause RLS !
From Iran
I take tramadol for my restlesslegs and i can sleep very well now,almost 2 decades i suffer this restlesslegs but now i can sleep all night
Thats strong opioid soooo
It’s very annoying 😢😢😢 I’m at work right now and I’m having episodes of it now ugh 😣
Sleeping too much also causes restless leg syndrome.
save your time, nothing helps.
Well I use Senimet if I didn’t have this pill I’d have to end it all
I have it and it is the absolute worst annoying feeling.... especially when your mind wants to shut off, but your body will not allow it. And you get constant movement, tossing and turning, and flipping thr bed sheets with your legs
Massaging CBD oil on the affected area is a lifesaver for me, especially when it becomes too uncomfortable to sleep.
Hi Cheryl, is there a specific CBD oil that works best for you? God bless!!
Exercise, sleep = we have no fucking idea,
Nobody has a clue! Everyone that has the condition has tried exercising, massage, sleep pattern change, hot cold compresses! Nothing actually works! It sucks!
The best way I have to describe the feeling is bones in my legs itch.
Help! Excersize makes it worse. RLS is horrible. I've had it since childhood. I'm 53 now, and it's absolutely horrid. It affects my arms, chest legs, butt...it's everywhere. The movements are severe! 😒 I do take Pramipexole and it helps very much.
Do strokes cause RLS? Thanks
Just started hydrox for it. I have saphenous vein reflux and a history of vascular problems. It’s become horrible at night. Bad leg cramps. I hate to bother my doc with this new problem.
Gabapentin helped me a lot with this...
I just want to go on record and say I have it in my toes especially at night. What helps me is cracking my toes. After I crack my toes it goes away, weird isn't it? Anyone else try cracking and it helping?
Yeah man, that’s weird!!
@Doubled Over Fist Whatever works to relieve it for you is exactly the thing to do!!
So my work is my exercise. I am extremely active at least four times sometimes 5 during the week. I do stretch, but maybe not as much as I should be. I'm in my forties and only recently have experienced restless leg syndrome really affecting my ability to sleep at night. I think it's because I'm doing too much possibly. Feels like my nerves are tapped.
I have had RLS since I was in my 20s … I am now 64 …. Strangely I find seasons/ weather affects them … extreme hot or cold makes them worse .. over the years tried many many suggested remedies … currently on Gabapentin .. which seems to give me some relief but not total.. I also do stretches and massage before bed and rub in magnesium oil… I just appreciate the good nights I get and accept the bad ones .. I have learnt to live with it… sorry I can’t be more positive … wish there was a cure out there!
I have been having RLS for a couple of months. Couldn't figure out what it was till I described to my mom and she said my grandmother had it. I also have low iron any time my blood is checked, so I started 5 days ago taking iron. I have also bought these compression boots that sorta massage on low that I use every night. This has helped me so much.
Thanks for sharing
A massage with Apple vinegar works for me..
@@MrTawito that really works? I have to try this
Is it common to have the urinating feeling with restless leg? I find that sometimes i have to pee like 10x throughout the night.
It always feel as if I have to stretch & there so achy I usually sleep with a heating pad between my legs that some what helps
I just found about how it'scalled. I've had it since I'm 6yo 😭 I'm 27 now
I am one of restless leg suffer for many years and the only thing but helps me is medication!
HELP!!! I have PLMS and take requip. When my Dr asks how the meds are working I say, "I don't know, I'm asleep." Well. I went t change my sheets and found that my foot rubbed a large hole in the sheet. What do I do now?
What helped me was taking iron and wearing compression socks during the day
When I am drinking milk in that time my restless is totally fine 😊
