Restless legs

[Nat1990]

Hi.. does anyone get restless legs when trying to sleep? My mum has had it for years but now she’s on treatment it seems to be making it worse!? Antihistamines aren’t working what so ever. I even googled what could help it and it came up to put a bar of soap in the bed with you while you sleep!! 😂😂😂 she tried didn’t work haha! Can anyone help recommend what to use? Do? She’s not getting enough sleep because of it and treatments already making her tired she’s so frustrated 🥺 thank you ♥️

I do have bouts of RLS along with the neuropathy but the episodes don’t last more than several minutes. My pain management Dr did an ultrasound of my lower legs and I have blood pooling down there. Wearing compression stockings some to see if that helps. It seems the more active I am, the worse it is. Which seems contra-indicated. I’d like to know if you find better info than what I have. I also think my nightly dose of Gabapentin helps - though it also contributes to my brain fog!

I have problem as well and I take Magnesum and Calcium Every evening. Normally it helps.

I just purchased a magnesium spray for rls and muscle cramps. I’ve used it twice and it seems to do the trick.

My friend in Florida who is 64 and has had it for years. She is now on 600 mgs. of gabapentin which is odd because that is also what the pain specialist gave to me for my back pain, but I take 300 mgs. of it at night. It seems to be prescribed in varying doses for different types of medical issues. I take it at night bc my onco said it may also help with sleep issues and I do find it's better for me to take a night and I sleep a bit longer than usual.
