Itching

Does anyone have itching with their restless legs? If so, what do they do about it? My daughter tells me that she has it and that it’s worse than the ‘got to move’ sensation.

I also itch but it hadn’t occurred to me that it was connected to rls

I would also say there's an itch but it's not a 'normal' itch, just gives me the sensation to rub, eg in hair, shoulders, legs. I doubt any anti itch tabs would work. I just wriggle & rub & the same distractions which work for RL work for the 'itch'

I have a terrible rash from scratching all over my body, it is terrible, the doctor thinks i am allergic to something, but i have nothing conclusive to say what it really is. I do however relate to your daughter about the discomfort

What did she do before the itching started? I had severe itching back in August, but that was caused by a reaction to chlorine (I had been to my pool). Ezcema cream solved it.

The itching comes on at the same time as the RLS. I’ll get her to try the eczema cream. Thanks.
