RLS, RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME

I had RLS so badly over the last month and was sleeping 2 hrs per night- so tired and desperate! 

I slept symptom free for the first time last night. I began taking magnesium supplements a week ago-600mg per day and Potassium 99mg per day. I also took Floradix for Iron and B vitimans. Try these and good luck- hope you find relief of these horrible symptoms! 

I have restless leg syndrome since my early 20s I'm now nearly 50,I have found it very hard to find a Dr/neurologist who has some understanding of this condition,however this week I have been to see a neurologist who is brilliant he discovered I was low on iron folic acid and b12 vitamin he said this is common with restless legs he has given me supplements which u can get over the counter I have been on them almost a week and along side the other medication I have for this it is working well also having a small glass of tonic water also helps its something to do with the quinine in it,I hope this helps,I understand how hard it is I've gone through he'll as people who don't have it really don't understand,I'm thinking of writing a book as I've learnt so much.

2 most effective things for me, soaking in a hot bath and using a bean bag as follows:  I make my bean bags with flannel and the cover with fleece.  8 inches by 20 inches, fill with approximately 6 cups of winter red hard wheat berries (so when laying flat about 1 inch high).  Heat in microwave for 2-3 minutes, take out and move around to mix wheat berries, and heat another 2-3 minutes.  Lie in bed face down with rear end up (looking cute:-), and bag at back of knees, between both legs, touching thighs and calfs.  Instant relief.  The wheat berries will stay warm for up to 30 minutes. Adjust legs to what is comfortable over time.
