Restless legs
Except it's not only my legs. Quite often I feel a bugs crawling on my extremities. I find myself almost constantly squirming around. I'm possessed!

I know exactly how you feel!!! I've found that taking a calcium/magnesium supplement helps. I take one everynight before I go to bed and even carry one with me for when I travel. I also have some Dolomite that I take.....it's a natural form of calcium/magnesium that I order off of the internet from Drugstore.com
Also......and this sounds really stupid but I think that it may work......put a bar of soap in your bed near your feet!!! I use Dial but I think that you can use Irish Spring as well. I wonder if it has to be a bar that has deodorant protection......I don't know.....but I think it works!!!! I hope that something works for you!!!! |

I was curious, so I googled restless legs and soap. There are lots of sites listed, but I clicked in on this one:

I wish I could offer a solution, but have no experience whatsoever. Sounds like that soap idea works Diana....I read the link Judy posted. It can't be crazy if it works for others as well.

Tonic water may work, it is usually recommended for leg cramps because it has quinine in it. Gary can't eat bananas for his leg cramps so he drinks a small bottle of tonic water before bed when he is having trouble with cramps. It couldn't hurt to try it and see if it helps Sandy.
