Like I answered under the blog post you put up, have you been diganosed with RLS? Lots of meds that are taken , like anti nausea meds, when one has cancer will actually make your RLS worse. But, we kind of need a few more details, since you have cancer, too, Are you in the UK or the US? either way, you should talk to your doctor about RLS. The more sleep deprivation you have, the harder it is for your whole body to heal. So, did this start before your breast cancer or after. That is really important. It is also REALLY important to get some good RLS knowledge under your belt.

rlshelp.org is a US based web site, but it is pretty universal, with a Treatment page that is golden, as well as "Foods and Drugs to Avoid".
