Hi I take a pill at bedtime it's called Mirapex brand name pramipexole generic I've been taking it for several years and it does work. I was miserable they hurt all night. I kept moving them didn't help hot baths heat pad rubbing them nothing helped. This med really works. So hope. I've helped you. I'm in the states I would think you guys have it in the UK. Ask Dr. Love susiejo1948

Do you need it prescribed from a doctor or can you buy it over there ? X

Hi susiejo I see you mentioned mirapex, is this in the UK it can be prescribed? Do you get restless arms aswell by any chance?

Hi yes some in arms I don't know if you can get it in the UK. I'm in the U.S. you would have to ask Dr it's prescription. But it really helps. Love susiejo1948

Thanks SusieJo, I will do some internet searching on this medication and perhaps mention it to my quack next time I go

Magnesium spray. Bought on Amazon. Cured my restless legs which I'd had for more years than I can remember. Massage into soles of feet, wipe off excess with a barely damp cloth.

I take quinine prescribed by gp, i was also advised to drink tonic water as this is supposed to help. It has been much improved since taking quinine had it about 3yrs.x
