Restless leg syndrome!! Any cures?!!

[Princesspowersparkle]

Hello all
For the last few weeks i've been getting really restless legs when I go to bed and its getting to the point where I'm having trouble getting to sleep, and then when I do it keeps waking me up! Any miracle cures out there as I am so tired and long to sleep through!!
(Also, at night when I wake up I have achy hips and a pain that goes from my lower back down my bum. Don't know if this has something to do with it).
Any sugestions will be tried!

Tonic water can sometimes be effective. Because of the quinine in it.

Have it with some gin and it will help you sleep!

you have a website!!!

I tried tonic water and bananas (for the potassium). What did work though was showering just my legs with cold water before bed (I know, sounds odd...) But must have helped teh bood flow, I suppose.

I had this too - it was so annoying!
I found that it helped if I massaged my legs and feet with cream/oil just before I went to bed. Sometimes I'd have to do this in the middle of the night too but it did help!
try to make sure you are not too hot either.
good luck with pg!

A warm bath before bed worked for me. Rx

I have had this condition for years (my mum has it too) and it's much worse now that I'm pregnant (19 weeks). Massage seems to help my mum, also walking up and down stairs in the middle of the night when it wakes her up. Mine isn't too bad at night - is worse in the evening when I'm sitting down - but will follow all your suggestions - thanks.

Thanks for all yuor replies today. So tonight I will be soaking in a warm bath, with a G&T and a banana, while my H2B massages my legs. Sounds like its gonna be a good evening!
