Yes, same as me. But we are prepared to try anything that might help us. I am in the process of massaging Ibubrufen gel into my legs. My doctor said some people have found it helps.

At least that's one thing you don't have to waste money on.😕 Good to know.

Many people have found the lotion/ oil very comforting. It may be washed off after 20 minutes, if it is found to be stinging

@roadrunner-- in general, antiinflammatory meds, and Paracetamol, don't relieve rls. It is actually a simple test as to whether one has rls or not.

Cheers.

Hi Madlegs, What sort of test is done for Restless legs. Actually I am beginning to think I have peripheral neuropathy rather than .RL

Thanks for your help.

No specific test. Just a set of symptoms. The major one, is having to move the limbs to relieve the jitters.

The full list of conditions are on

Good luck.

They wired me up to test the pressure in my legs took blood to see if it was iron deficiency and anything else i could be lacking and that was it RLS

I found that the magnesium spray did help, if only that it seemed to help me to relax. It did make my skin itch a bit though and was certainly no cure. Maybe it was for me a bit of wishful thinking?

Hi, new to the group as a father exploring for a young family member who is experiencing symptoms quite similar to RLS. For non medication/organic treatment options seems like there is 'test and see' approach. Would you/anyone know if use CBD oils have benefited ?

Hi SalHaids

Welcome to our community. You may well find that you receive more help and advice if you start a new thread, rather than asking about CBD oils in this thread.
