RLS..when is it too much?

Question

My restless leg syndrome is horrible lately. Starting the past 2 weeks, maybe. I need to be constantly moving. The second I stop my legs hurt, like I can’t stretch them enough. I need to constantly keep moving. At night, in bed, when I stretch, I get the charley horses. I’m so over it. It’s basically from 7pm-6:30.

Answer

My doctor told me to take 400-800 mg magnesium before bed. I bought the 500mg tablets and they work like a charm. Maybe ask your doctor about it? 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I know this is random...eat a dill pickle. I swear it works! I get RLS so bad that it makes my whole body shiver and twitch because I can't just be still.
My grandma told me to eat a pickle when I start feeling the sensation and I tried it and it absolutely works! I can actually sleep now

Answer

Here we go! There is a kind that has calcium in it too. My chiropractor said to just get the magnesium without the calcium. I take a separate calcium supplement in the morning.

Answer

Same here. I've been struggling with it my whole life actually. If it gets really bad I take a mild muscle relaxant and it usually helps. I feel like if I'm more active during the day my legs don't get as restless as they do if I don't do much physical activity. There's things that can be prescribed too, but I feel like they're too heavy for me and I just get high off them lol. Leg massage also helps sometimes with some lavander oil. :)👍

Answer

Have you tried Natural Calm? I take 2 teaspoons before bed and it helps with my RLS and sleep in general as well as helps my bowel movements!
