Restless Leg syndrome

[AlfalfaSprout(y)]

It’s true. It’s never happened to me, but I know someone who has had it happen. ^_^ It’s pretty much the same thing – caused by the same deficiencies. I’m sure the same solution would work.

I had a severe case too, and found that I had "severe iron deficiency". I started taking an iron supplement twice a day and after a week or so, the restless leg syndrome was gone and hasn't reappeared. Before that, I couldn't sleep, had it in both legs and sometimes it felt like it was all over my body.

Today I was looking at this new product for RLS called Restulex. The company that puts it out is offering it for free if you participate in a study of theirs (which I believe, basically means filling out a survey after you take the product).

Has anyone else here with RLS done this?

I ordered one today, and I'll keep you updated on how it turns out.

I've found that there are 4 stages to recovering from RLS. The first, and most important is the healing of the inflammation in your legs that is causing the RLS.

Here are the 4 steps to a FULL recovery ...

STEP 1. Stop the Spreading Inflammation in its Tracks

STEP 2. Encourage the Repair/Replacement of your Damaged Cells

STEP 3. Encourage the Healing/Repair of your Nervous System
(nerve cells frayed from prolonged inflammation)

STEP 4. Prevent Inflammation from Reoccurring

Less inflammation = less RLS. This is as universal a truth as you will ever hear in regard to Restless Legs Syndrome.

This is not a "personal" cure that is only going to help a few. This will help EVERYONE that is willing to try it out.

It doesn't matter what sort of heavy duty drugs you're taking for your RLS. You don't need to go off of them. Eventually your inflammation will lessen and you'll be able to wean off at your own pace.

The best way to heal the inflammation that is causing your RLS is to load up with as many anti-inflammatory herbs as your budget will allow. Curcumin, Ginger Root, Cayenne, St. John's Wort, Licorice Root DGL, Devil's Claw and Skullcap are good ones.

Also, to enhance the healing, take a high quality Cal/Mag, Iron, Zinc, Omega 3, Lecithin and Vitamin B12.

It sounds like a lot, but you will not regret the effort when you start to see the results.

I've had rls for 20 years. Started taking Requip about 5 years ago with tremendous success. I started out with 25 mg at bedtime but am now up to 1 mg 4 to 5 times a day. Now that isn't working so I'm going to ask my doctor to try something else. Don't give up and do plenty of research before you talk to your doctor..they don't know much about rls so you have to get all the facts before you discuss it with them. If your doctor isn't sympathetic, find one who is. Good luck...

Have you had your iron levels checked, not just iron or Hgb, but also ferritin. Your ferritin needs to be above 30. It's amazing how quickly iron helps rls

Sometimes it would be in one leg, soemtimes in the other, sometimes in both. My parents had me tested for Luekemia (sp) and whatever else, but the doctors chalked it up to growing pains.

Now my 6 year old son has it and has had it for about 2-3 years, and I feel for him. I don't know if this is restless leg syndrome, but it killed me!

Kids that age are usually low in iron and that causes the leg pain. Ask your doctor to do an iron panel blood test on your son and pay close attention to his ferritin levels. Iron, hemoglobin, transferrin can all be normal but if ferritin below 30 -40 he can have rls symptoms and severe leg pain. Ferritin is a measure of the iron that is stored in cells. The others are measures of circulating levels. A chelated iron supplement (iron attached to an acid) is absorbed much better than regular iron.

Good luck!
