RLS

[Farbyarby]

In response to others questions about RLS.  I have had extreme pain and burning in my legs for years, but only when I try to sleep or recline.  I don't get the jerking sensation as some do, but I do move constantly for relief.  My vascular dr. did an ultrasound and then did an EVLT procedure.  This was wasted time and money as it did not help.  There are a few things I have found to be helpful for me and want to pass on in hopes of help for others. I am not in the medical field, these suggestion are only from my personal experience. They are magnesium, leg elevation, a sugarless diet, an inversion table and COLD WATER, COLD WATER, COLD WATER!  Many times I hang my legs in the pool on cool nights or I fill the tub with cold water and sit in it.  This calms me enough that I usually can fall asleep. Also, I notice, in my case, ibuprofen makes it worse. Today my primary gave me my first prescription for requip.  I'm am excited to see if it helps.  God bless!
