restless leg syndrome - 35 weeks

[CloeDee]

Hey guys,

I've started getting what i think is restless leg syndrome at night its driving me nuts! did you guys have any home remedies to help?

Get your iron levels checked. Mine was cause by anemia

Banana for supper!!

@Hedgehogblues good shout, i have a appointment tomorrow ill mention it, thank you

@Whynosnowyet
i will try this tonight, thank you

Potassium in the banana which you need!! Oh and if you get heartburn - orange Rennie's. Other flavours never worked!!

Argh I had this, and it's right bloody annoying! I found hanging my feet out of the bed to keep them cool helped.

I was recommended this and it worked a treat. Amazon sell it and some health shops too if you have one near you. I feel your pain, it was one of the worst pregnancy symptoms for me!

I used to get this and if I took one or two sachets of Spatone (iron sachets) in a glass of orange juice it used to help.

Oh my I hate restless leg syndrome! I had it worst around 30 weeks (just in time for Christmas) and had to go for walks in the middle of the night. It's my feet and ankles.

I think mine may have just got a bit better just because - I tried iron even though I wasn't anaemic, magnesium spray and bath, bananas, exercise, compression socks. The one that seemed to do the most was some weetabix with a banana chopped in it late at night - though it may have just been the placebo - and cuddling a hot water bottle, I think mainly for the relaxation. I am not usually cold enough at bedtime so have to deliberately walk round for a few minutes getting cold sometimes! I also put cold moisturiser on my feet, a nice different sensation.

When it was at its worst I do remember that the ankle support we'd had from some injury seemed to help, but then it stopped working.

Hope it eases for you ; it's so infuriating!
