United States 07/27/2011 05:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Anyone know a CURE for RESTLESS LEGS? I have had two bouts of it in my life. I used to get it badly as a young person. Late teens and early twenties was first bout, and it was intermittent. Second bout is now. The difference between then and now is that I'm married with kids. Before, it may have lasted all night, but my body would give in to sheer exhaustion and allow me to sleep eventually. I could also skip class, and had no responsibilities. Now, there is no escaping it whatsoever. I don't sleep, too bad for me. Short of taking meds from a doc, which I'm really not interested in doing. It leads to debilitating insomnia. Before the medical know-it-alls start asking questions...yes, it has happened with me being a daily exerciser. Yes, it has happened with me eating extremely healthy. Yes, I do have quite a bit of stress in my life. No, so far as I know, I do not have poor circulation. No, I am not habitually depressed. I am on no other medications, either. No, I will not smoke pot or drink booze as a remedy, nor do I have a desire for valium or anything of the like, but it's getting close to the point that I would try the valium. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO STOP IT ON COMMAND BY TAKING SOMETHING OR DOING SOMETHING, I'M A PERSON YOU CAN MAKE MONEY OFF OF, AND I'M WILLING TO PAY. Hit me with whatever you got. |

United States 07/27/2011 05:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Anyone know a CURE for RESTLESS LEGS? Coffee drinkers often get RLS.... because coffee will lower serotonin. I used 5-HTP to bring up my serotonin levels. It is derived from a bean, and can be found in healthfood stores or even Wal Mart. It isn't expensive, maybe ten bucks. I use it to stop migranes too....which can be caused by low serotonin. You can research 5-HTP on-line...google it. Good luck. |

Get yourself some good advice from you GP or pharmacist, I know of several people with the same problem as yours and all got rid of it by taken Iron supplement. Please remember I no doctor buts share my thoughts. Google Restless legs syndrome – Iron you will see you’re not alone I wish you the best and that you get rid of this annoying disorder soon and have a good night sleep again. How iron deficiency causes restless legs syndrome? Iron deficiency is involved because every condition that produces iron deficiency, such as anemia or pregnancy, increases the risk of RLS, says Richard Allen, PhD, a diplomat on the American Board of Sleep Medicine and a founder of the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center.

United States 07/27/2011 05:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Anyone know a CURE for RESTLESS LEGS? I get it every so often for one or two nights and then it goes away. They've done a couple of fairly recent studies that have found a conection with low iron. Either you don't get enough in your diet or your body isn't absorbing enough of it. Considering lack of iron can be responsible for pica,(chewing on things like Ice cubes, coffee grounds some people even chew dirt) it seems very plausible that it can be connected to RLS too. An adult iron tablet every day should help it. There are other medications that they find can be beneficial, but they are prescription and can have some bad side-effects. So if a little extra iron doesn't work, see your doctor.
Meanwhile, point your toes and then flex your feet as far as you can, about 10 times. That helps with mine. |

If this sounds like you then you are likely overrun with candida albicans infection. Search this out. Otherwise, the magnesium advise is excellent. A supply-limited commodity, instantly transferable worldwide, person-to-person, is intrinsically and uniquely valuable. |
