MomtoGiuliana Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have this at times. I find that it is worse when my iron is low. I've also noticed if I eat sugar at night it is worse. I know others have this experience too. For me, sometimes getting out of bed and walking around for 5 min or so helps. I know it can be very disruptive to falling asleep.

Urkittenme Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hello, I experience this at times. What helps me most is a bedtime yoga routine that can be done laying in bed. Mainly hip opening exercises tend to be most useful when I am suffering. If I need to fall asleep quickly then I will cheat and take 2 benadryl and that will usually put me to sleep. What I have also found to be helpful is drawing a bath with essential oils, for restless legs I use lavender and rosemary. I also have a "nighttime aches and pains" bath oil blend of lavender, chamomile, and menthol. Sometimes this helps to relieve my symptoms. If you have a partner maybe you can ask for a leg massage when you are suffering? I hope you find something that works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer65 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I have this problem most evenings and during the night but it also includes my arms. This has been one of the most annoying uncomfortable sympton for me and so far my syncope nurses who I check in with monthly have no suggestions. Like the others said walking around , warm bath I use Himalayan or Epsom salts in the bath seem to help the best for me, lymphatic massage helps to relieve it for a few hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I get it in my arms as well. Has anyone else noticed that it tends to affect only one side of the body at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancer65 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Mine is in both sides every evening just can't get comfortable at all ,the fidgeting drives my hubby mad !!!

cmreber Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I get this too! And sometimes really itchy lower legs. Like others on here, I find stretching and massaging to be the most helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
