Been there , done that. It like doing the SITS test I had to do twice during the Noctrix Tomac study. you sit in a chair with your legs out at 90 degrees supported on another chair and sit still for as long as you can with 10 minute check ins to rate the severity of your symptoms. . RLS started within 10 minutes and ramped up to 10/10 level by 20 minutes. I put these on and ripped them off within 15 minutes. Took 15 minutes to get them on and comfortable and 2 minutes to get them off and relegated to the closet with all the other useless gadgets!

Yip, it’s a two man job just to get the daft things on 😂. The internet has a lot to answer for!!

It does raise the question about what part of walking about quiets some of the RLS.

Is it the mind being activated to control the legs or is it the weight of the body on the legs as they move or can the effects be simulated with a machine moving your legs for you? Does anybody know of studies that have tried to determine what it is about getting up and walking about that's helps?

[SueJohnson in reply to coldfeet7]

Two possibilities: Exercise, including walking, stimulates the release of dopamine; walking keeps your muscles active, which can prevent the urge to move your legs.

[coldfeet7 in reply to SueJohnson]

I have seen articles talking about the many different compounds released by contracting muscles and the effects they can have on the body and the mind. Wonder if you could isolate that by not moving your legs and instead lifting weights with your arms and and see if it affects the RLS.

Interesting that you mentioned dopamine. That is one of the hallmarks of the ADHD brain. It doesn't regulate it well. Is RLS more common among those with ADHD?

[SueJohnson in reply to coldfeet7]

Yes RLS is more common among those with ADHD. Up to 44% of subjects with ADHD have been found to have RLS or RLS symptoms, and up to 26% of subjects with RLS have been found to have ADHD or ADHD symptoms. touchneurology.com/movement...
