No more rls!

[Raven123]

Hi everyone. I’m new to the site. I want to share my cute for restless leg which I have suffered with for thirty years. I have stopped drinking most bottled water( it is loaded with sodium) and I have stopped eating snacks with what I call “flavor dust” on it. For example, veggie straws with cheddar flavor on them. Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting.😎

Great stuff, glad you found something that works for you.

That's good news for you. I don't drink much bottled water or have many savoury snacks but have reduced my evening drink of bottled sparkling water and this seems to be helping my RLS. Must be something to do with our diet...Back to basics! Thank you for your advice

I haven’t got the -can’t think of the right word-to stop my medication which is keeping the worst of RLS at bay to try what you suggest. It’s like soap under the mattress or similar. I guess I will never know.

Hi Raven

That’s amazing for you! I don’t drink bottled water, or eat flavoured snacks though.

Great for you, let’s hope it lasts forever!

Wonderful. Hope it continues. Wish it was that easy for everyone.

If it were that easy, we would not have had to start zillions of RLS support groups. Sadly. I actually had the first online RLS support email group on yahoo in 1996. So, from talking to thousands of people, and attending conferences, and interacting heavily with Dr. Buchfuhrer, I know for sure, that what works for one person does not work for the next person. Wish we could find ONE thing for everyone, but that is so far away, sadly.

I know plastic bottles none are good...they leach out estrogen. A lot of the processed foods contain msg...Msg and Sugar makes my legs go crazy.

[Raven123 in reply to Ert223]

Omgoodness msg sends me off the charts! What is this poison? And why is it necessary? I guess we have to be our own food police.

[Ert223 in reply to Raven123]

Well in the USA on the bottom of plastic bottle they have numbers stamped on them

the numbers go from 1-8. The safest i think is 8...yeah its crazy they go from completely safe glass to toxic plastic and stick with it instead of back to glass. Msg food is added as a flavor enhancer and makes you eat more. Like Chinese food some loaded with Msg. We have labels but the Msg can have 10 different names for its like you have to be a chemist to read the labels.

MSG is an instant migraine for me.

Well done you! Glad it works for you. It's a shame it doesn't work for everyone. Iron and magnesium has helped me tremendously, but not everyone.

That is nice, but it certainly does not work for everyone. We do not use the word cure, rather "treatment" whether it is meds or other things. If , as you say, this has stopped the symptoms, then if you started up on a lot of sodium again, the symptoms would come back.
