Restless legs...

[Robinredbreast]

I started with the RLS and went for a google link tour of the other stuff, there is a lot to it, all of it no good

Same here, it's great news when someone reaps the benefits from the home rememdies, but, didn't work for me. It would be wonderful if we didn't have to take prescribed drugs, but I wouldn't be without the Ropinirole

I take one Quinine tablet (from GP) an hour before bed. Works a treat and also helps prevent cramps.

Hi,

I was just reading the book Keto-Adapted by Maria Emmerich yesterday, and was interested to see the author made a number of references to her patients experiencing restless leg.

The two things I remember her mentioning are that use of antacids (indigestion tablets) and/or an under active thyroid can cause restless leg.

May be worth checking out.

I have recently begun suffering and can empathise totally with your problem, having spent yet another night in the spare room, I take so much medication already due to retinopathy, neuropathy, fibromyalgia and other problems that I am hesitant to raise the issue with my DSN or GP but having read through this thread I will be looking into things at my next appointment as I didn't even know there was anything but 'old wives tales' to help. Hope you've also found an answer and that from now on you can sleep well. I'll keep everyone posted as to what my consultant and DSN's say later in the month.
Keep well and stay positive.
Chris.

Hello, sorry to hear you have RLS, I have it too. I have had it for a few years now and on tablets. Ropinirole x 2, 1 hour before bed and then ( because it got so bad during the day) I take 1 1/2, tablets late afternoon. I honestly couldn't do with out this medication. I tried a few home remedies( one was soap at the end of the bed !!) but nothing worked at all and I am an active person.
Please dont suffer from this horrible condition, go to your GP as there is help available. Probably you will have a blood test to see if you are low in iron, if so, iron tablets are usually given, but It didn't help my RLS,
All the best and good luck, please get some help, take care.
