Yes! It was my legs and arms/hands. I went to my GP (after asking on here) and he gave me Quinine which has stopped it :-)

Hi suwie,

me too, restless legs mostly at night, just nodding off and....whoosh off they go, feels like a clock work toy being wound up and then released.

my doctor gave me Robaxin/methacarbamol, muscle relaxents they really have helped and are quite quick acting, Take them most nights and the odd time in the day if i need to.

Mention it to your doctor and see what they say

take care

I'm going to my GP tomorrow to talk about this. I go through phases of sleeping a lot or not sleeping at all, but when I am going through "I need to sleep" phase, that's when my leg gets restless. I was actually in tears last night, I was so tired! It only recently started in my left arm and it's already in my left leg. Is it both legs that bother you?

Yes, the more tired I am, the more twitchy my legs are. Very annoying and uncomfortable. Louise x
