I have had restless legs every night for the past 45 years. The severity has gradually increased over the years and has led to several visits to the doctor. I have been on 4 different medications, none of which helped. On a whim, I bought a bottle of magnesium spray oil from the chemist and have been using this twice a day on knees and calves. I have also started taking a magnesium supplement. My RLS symptoms have almost completely disappeared. I still feel twinges in the evenings but they don't last more than a few minutes. I apply the oil as needed. It sings a bit and dries the skin but the disappearance of this wretched condition more than makes up for any temporary discomfort.
Hope this helps others.
Hi Purple
Welcome to the forum. it is very interesting to hear what helps people suffering with RLS. It appears to be a very individual thing but so pleased that you have found something that is giving you a positive result after all those years. If it keeps working, which I so hope it does for you, is so much better than prescribed meds, aye?
Hope your weekend goes well,
Kaarina
