exercise  in the day helps this alot..hot baths..compressin wraps, massage, heat or ice can help as well...some drink tonic water with their potassium intake...iron is important too as many who have this r low in iron...there are meds for this condition..especially if it keeps u from getting clean...talk to ur doctor bout it...walmart has sumpin for rls as well that is otc...good luck...remember that this passes...hang tight

Are you talking about the RLS? It feels like your muscles are all cramped and that you just HAVE to move your legs. That was the worst part for me,but really hot baths helped and then I would rub my legs with mentholated muscle rub and wrap them tight,but not too tight,with ace bandages and use heating pads on them.That worked wonders for me.Also lots of bananas for the potassium.EXERCISE is the best remedy.They also sell something at Walmart called Hylands restful legs.I hope this helps.all the best...Kim
