Anyone know a CURE for RESTLESS LEGS?

you sure your not commin off those pain pills??

methylfenidate works for me

Good call I concur

My old man has it he takes vicodin which helps it a lot

Thorazine?? seriously??? If you have to resort to a drug that can fuck you up for life let your legs twitch bro. Extrapyramidal side effects are a bitch

I have had it almost every night for the past year. I have had it pretty regularly for the past 25 years.

I had spine surgery a few times so the doctors blamed that. They might as well because they have no cause or cure. They can put you on an opiod to stop it but it will return with a vengence when it is time to come off the opiod. They also like to use Mirapex which works fine but it is still a man made poison with a ton of side effects.

Over the past year I have research natural remedies to stop the agony.
Give some of these a try. Hope it helps
Curcumin
Magnesium
Potassium
Valerian Root
Rhus Tox
Rooibos Tea
Marijuana
Kratom
OPC3
Shilajit-84 essential minerals our bodies are lacking.
Salvia apiana aka White Sage

Burning or smoking white sage, aka Salvia apiana. This is what I have found that works best. I stumbled across it after starting Reiki therapy. The Master said she uses Sage to purify the air and body. I researched it a bit and sure enough it has stopped my RLS. At least for the past two nights since I started using Sage.

Peace to you.

Most people eat sage at thanksgiving so it will not harm you to vaporize it or breathing in the smoke while burning it. You can smoke it like tobacco. It has a mint taste. It also has a calming effect. Not a stoned feeling but a relaxed feeling.

I get restless leg syndrome when my body is low on potassium and magnesium citrate. Or, if I wake up with a leg cramp, I'll get up and take potassium and magnesium citrate and it goes away pretty quickly. This happens despite the fact that I eat lots of vegetables and home grown food. Maybe stress increases one's need for the minerals. Anyway, this works for me. I take it now to prevent the symptoms.

You can try avoiding chemical pollutants in your diet, especially in what you eat or drink in the evening. Often low-level food allergies can do this too. The problem can be helped by watching what you eat in the hours before bed time.

Restless legs may indicate that you have a sensitive nervous system and need to ensure an adequate intake of a full spectrum of B vitamins.

In my experience this is a chemical pollution problem. Even organic food these days has enough residues to cause problems. Seems there is no escaping it any more.

I get restless legs often from eating foods that have had fungicides applied in storage - whole grains, beans, dried fruit.

have a wank

but really if you try meditaion...it pretty much cures anything...do some research on simple yogi breathing techniques and then manipulate them and your thoughts to more...focus on what you're trying to overcome...i know new age bs yabba yabba but after a month or two of actually taking an hour or two out of your day and slowing your heart beat and focusing all your concentration on fixing a part of your body it actually does work...meh or jus do some good ol american over the counter mind numb drugs yo...promethazine with codine usually works..jus dont drink booze with it or you'll o.d LOL

I found I got it when I took Tylenol ,and herbs after 4 pm, I tried bananas, magnesum evry thing, would wake me up. feels like every cell is vibrating in your leg. I dont have it anymore, I drink lots more water and I ground myself to the earth when sleeping, we wear tennis shoes or rubber soles, which stops us from connecting to the earths healing vibrations, read about it on you tube David Wolfe grounding, it helped me.
I bought a little pull on ankle or braclet, it connects in the wall plug, ground plug, I sleep sounder that I have in years. Alot is thinking about it, if I think I fell the cells vibrating in my legs I start to get it.

did this only happen when you were sleeping?

My parents do this and it works for them ! They have been doing it for years. No idea why it works, but it does ...

placebo effect

Restless Legs are caused by a lack of iron and Vitamin B.I had restless legs for as long as I can remember and I realised that as a vegetarian I suffered a lot until I tumbled on the the lack of iron and Vitamin B self diagonosis.

Please try to buy a liquid iron and try and get Vitamin B12 injections or tablets from a more sympathic doctor.The tablets are cyanocobalamin.

I do not suffer any more and if I have them, I have my liquid iron.

I could never sleep and at night , no matter how much my legs were massaged , nothing helped.I could not sit in the cinema to watch a movie or go on long journeys.
Only if you have suffered do you realise what a davasting effect it has on you.

Now I feel at peace with iron and vitamin B.

Please do not try any drugs

I hope you will be better.

Most of the time I would be very tire from working all day, just start to doze of and they would start, or they would wake me up, I used to put then upside doun on the wall or rub them nothing helped at that time

Amputation/Shrink/Both

^^This^^

This^^^^^ AmPuTaTiOn !!

My GP gave me some meds used to treat Parkinson's Disease and they work.

Another benefit of the white soap-- no cramps. My girlfriend tried this as she had rls, and I thought she was crazy as hell and needed to exercise. She put some soap under the sheet by our feet. I worked outside in high temps, dehydrated and cramped bad, the soap actually helped that. Also, one night the soap fell out, woke up cramping thinking mhmmm, so much for the soap-- it had fell out on the floor...

Also, it did seem to help her kicking. I thought maybe it was the fact there was an object in the bed so subconsciously he stopped, but nah.

Change the thickness of your duvet, change pillow, stop drinking caffeine (Energy drinks and coffee namely).

If problem isn't solved go see a doctor.

Also try not eating just before bead.

Hack Saw

its when your body falls asleep but your brain is still awake, its very common. people take valium for it.

GL HF

THC marijuana is the number 1 relief for this without doubt, it really helps to relax.

I have cramps in my feet which my Dr said was rls.

I put a teaspoon in a glass of water and stir, then drink it. It stops it completely.

oops. I left out the magic ingredient....Put a big teaspoon of mustard in a glass of water and drink.

Weed also stops them.

that's real good advice,bloody valium,the withdrawal would be worse than the rls,you can even have a seizure coming off valium.

Same for me for the past 10 years. I think RLS is due to some spinal damage or S1 problems, or an early symptom of Parkinson's. People should get a nerve conduction test and see if there are nerve issues going on, like I have compressions on nerves from arthritis and some bone loss.

Opiates also calm RLS. Exercise like jogging is really the worst thing to aggravate this condition, unlike some people are suggesting here.
