I have RLS , don't know when it started I've never tried the soap my Dr. put me on Ropineral and it works but sometime in the middle of the day it will start up then I have to lay down even if I'm not tired .

Does the lying down relieve the symptoms?

Yes if I do it immediately as soon as my legs start bothering me .

Unlikely to be rls- it is the opposite. Urge to move when at rest!?????

For 20 years when I was teaching my legs drove me crazy when sitting during evenings. As soon as I went to bed the creepy, tingling sensations stopped. When I retired at age 62, no longer standing all day, legs fine during evening, but 1-2 hours after going to sleep they wake me up and force me to get up and stretch for some relief.
