Sounds like you have restless legs syndrome....RLS.

There is a forum here if you would like to go and talk with them?

Thanks for replying, I've been advised increasing my magnesium level might help, so after three days fingers crossed it might of helped.

Hi there, twitching is usually down to nerves as you are in bed relaxing they get going I have same and I take baclofen which as helped but I would see your GP to discuss it

I had RLS for many years. Some time ago, on a different forum, I read that soap in your bed could alleviate the legs jerking/twitching. I tried it. Ever since, I have 2 bars of ordinary soap, in my bed. I rub my feet over them, or just keep feet/foot on them. No more probs. Not an old wives tale. Neither my dr nor vascular surgeon knew what to do about RLS.
