Restless Leg Syndrome

My Mom is 87 yrs old and so far the only thing that seems to work for her RLS is one dose of Nyquil just before she goes to bed. Very rarely does she wake up with her legs bothering her after taking it.

Her RLS got much much worse after she had surgery one year ago.

We hope this helps someone have some restful nights who is suffering from RLS ...

That's good that your mom found something that works for her. Usually, the sleepy time ingredient in Nyquil makes RLS worse.

Not what you're looking for?
