I have recently bought a tread-mill "not an expensive one" and use it during the night or when I can't sit down, I find it a great help, I also have a bike on a training roller. I now don't have to go out in the rain.

I am so pleased this works for you, unfortunately I find too much exercise makes my rls worse and on a day when I am particularly active I suffer badly. A gentle wander around the kitchen a few times then climbing the 2 flights back to bed is about all I dare do when its bad.

Please, please, please be careful. I fell on it once being so over-tired.

I do a million things to stop the insane need to keep my legs running

so I do know that it's a choice that makes good sense. (treadmill)

I wish someone was awake to go for a midnight walk with me...

not for the sake of being romantic. (or maybe?)

yes I am careful I don't need to go fast and always have the safety rope clipped to me, if I was to fall the belt would stop right away. It's so handy in the night and my husband can't hear it from the bedroom so he is not disturbed.

Not what you're looking for?
