I’ve found that taking and chewing 3 or 4 of these, not distasteful tablets, relieves the worst of cramps within 10/15 minutes. A severe RLS suffer.

Great will give tissue salts a go as do wonder if my electrolytes are a bit low. Covered in tiger balm again tonight and so far so good

For a more palatable solution, try using sports electrolyte replacement tablets which you dissolve in water, like an antacid tablet. The ones I use contain vitamin c, magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium and green tea with a small amount of artificial sweetener.

Hi.. just watched your rls video..

Yes quite agree..

I get the same..goes on for hours..

I too rest legs up on arm of sofa..

IV tried everything.. electrolytes.. amino acids.. potassium.. magnesium.. spray andd tablets also lipoic acid.. theanine.. serotonin..

I think low or lack of dopamine is causing it but why?

Blood count recently said low stored iron level.. ferritin..but why?

Taking iron supplements now.. tried 4 different lots from docs..but also buying my own more gentle stuff cos bad side effects.

I must say I'm learning from this forum..

The experience s of many people.

Best wishes

Jan
