Help!
I suffer from restless leg syndrome and it's keeping me awake.
I have a baby and any time I get to have a lie down my legs keep me up.
Iv tried magnesium, quinine, stretching and iron tablets......nothing works!

Any tips?

I suffer from this intermittently and the only thing that seems to alleviate it is lying on the sofa with my legs stretched right out and ankles raised on a cushion. The raising definitely seems to help. When I say cushion, I mean a substantial firm cushion at least 20cm high. It’s a horrible feeling!
