Restless Leg(s) and foot kicking waking me up!

Hey, has anyone going thru meno experienced this? I will wake up around 3 - 4 a.m. and could easily fall back asleep, only my leg/foot won't let me!

The second I start drifting off again, I get this uncomfortable surge of energy that runs down my leg, causing my foot to "kick" and wake me back up..

I had this about 6 months ago and it went away. Now it's back. Going on for a week straight.

(???) I hate it when old symptoms return.

Please let me know if you have experienced this. Thanks so much xx
