An inlaw had restless leg syndrome so bad that it caused her husband to get up and leave, due to lack of sleep on his part. She kept kicking him during the night.
Her doctor prescribed a medication which is normally used to treat Parkinson's Disease. He also told her she was "anemic" and needed iron rich foods.
Another friend was told to wrap her legs in warm fleece blankets at night.
That actually worked for her without drugs.
Apparently, her legs were cramping from the cold temperatures.
Another friend went the accupuncture route and that also worked for her.
Apparently, RLS is very common after menopause. Overdoing it with exercise and sports can make it worse in some people........not all.
The magnesium suggestion is a great one........that also does work.
