Its an RLS cure (for me)

[Ducatidave]

Well I thought I knew how to control my RLS and I did get comfort most of the time .....

Tested it on a Long haul flight returning home which are usually a nightmare for me and so I tried to stay clear from triggers like salt, caffeine and chocolate for the flight home. I used it as a test really and thought I would be ok but nope, not really as I did still get RLS . So after getting home I thought that, OK, I know what I should not eat but what is my body lacking?

Success, I may have found the cure for me as my RLS calms down in 10 mins or so when I use it.

I will add the link and must state that I have nothing to do with the suppliers, it works for me and its worth a try. There may be other companies producing it but this fixes me so I am sticking with it ..

Yes it is one of the things I include in my Help/Hurt list that I give to every new patient on the forum unless they say there RLS is under control as you did . Here it is:

Some things that can make RLS symptoms worse for some people are alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, sugar, artificial sweeteners, carbs, foods high in sodium, foods that cause inflammation, foods high in glutamate, ice cream, eating late at night, oestrogen (estrogen) including HRT, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, melatonin, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), collagen supplements, eating late at night, stress and vigorous exercise.

Some things that help some people include caffeine, moderate exercise, weighted blankets, compression socks, elastic bandages, masturbation, magnesium glycinate, fennell, low oxalate diet, a low-inflammatory diet, selenium, 5 minute shower alternating 20 seconds cold water with 10 seconds hot water finishing with hot water for another couple of minutes, hot baths, distractions, applying a topical magnesium lotion or spray, doing a magnesium salts soak (epsom salts), vitamins B1, B3, B6, B12, D3, K2, if deficient, and potassium and copper if deficient, massage including using a massage gun, vibration devices like therapulse, using a standing desk, playing and listening to music, creative hobbies, meditation and yoga.

Yes, Magnesium and spray have helped my RLS..bought the same spray. But not a cure..certainly helps me...

[Legquake in reply to SueJohnson]

I have some and will give the spray a try. I've noticed that pressure on certain nerves, maybe even the sciatic, tends to aggravate my condition. I may have to explore this and a connection. I'll keep everyone posted.

You can make up your own spray/lotion.

Equal parts of Epsom salts and water.

Keep in a jar or bottle and apply as needed.

A lot cheaper than the commercial stuff!😝

I use this and it does help, although it is definitely not a cure for me. I have tried a cheaper brand which did not help at all.

Very interesting. Had you tried other forms of magnesium? Do you think its particularly the spray that's helped?

[RLScure]

Unfortunately, Magnesium spray makes me itch so bad, it negates any calming effects it may have. One other idea is to bathe or put your feet in a bath of Epsom salts and hot water. Then, rinse off in cold water.
