      didi that's a brilliant way to describe it - I get it a lot, almost like your whole body's just gonna drop to the floor and complete feeling of awful weakness . Horrible.

    Thanks for your replies. Glad I'm not alone. It comes and then goes for a few weeks. It's mainly night times when I'm trying to watch TV. It feels like my whole body just needs to move. I keep wriggling and feel like I want to throw off my arms and legs (would be nice if I could). I'm having magnesium every day and I'm walking every day. It's so annoying ??
