I have RLS and I've tried so many different things now. Iron supplements haven't worked, nor have the medications (I'm now on Parkinsons Disease medication in an attempt to quell the feelings and movements). I'm on a healthy diet, but that doesn't appear to help much either. Sedatives don't work and the medications all leave me feeling so ill. I have noticed however that alcohol makes my legs worse - so I don't drink, which isn't easy as a student. I really hope they find some cure soon!
I have found the cause, and the cure. I have suffered for 30 years. All the way into my arms, and during the day. Eat chicken liver, or venison. Right before bedtime. The brain thinks you are anemic, because of childhood anemia. Eating meat just before bed sends a shot of iron with all the enzymes needed to use it, right when you need it. iron pills are very dangerous. Meat isn't. After all, how long has mankind eaten meat? -from an RN student
I have this and it got better with major changes to my diet. For a while I used kratom tea at night but then I stopped and when I tried it again it didn't seem to work anymore. Benzos (sedatives) don't work at all. Opiates like codeine work but they give me a headache so I don't use that. It's a real nuisance. No processed foods, calcium, magnesium and B vitamin supplements seem to help. In my case it's not iron.
im like this person i have to have my feet hanging off the bed so i can shake my foot and this causes me to have charlie horse in the morning. very aggravating.
Hi everyone thank you for the continued support, finnally after 6 months my mother is going to work with her Dr. on IV iron treatment. He was not aware of this proceedure and had to research it. Can you believe that, hopefully this is one small step to awareness. She goes in next wee for her first consultation. Other wise she is doing good for the most part her legs have been ..... I'll say barible.
I hope your Mother gets better- I have RLS I have not been able to find any sort of relief. If your mother gets better it would be so awesome if you could post a video about what helped.
Thank you for posting- I hope your mother gets better soon.
I've been treated by a specialist for a 2 years now and he has been the only Dr. able to help me! Mine have been so bad in the past that I ended up having to quit a really good job of 6 yrs because I wouldn't sleep for days due to my legs and couldn't go to work. He has me taking iron supplements daily as well as one 5/500mg lortab at bed time AS NEEDED NOT nightly! The lortab 100% stops them everytime! It has helped me gain my life back! Hope this helps!
I agree, it seems there is more than RLS at play here. If it is indeed RLS, studies show that it can be exacerbated by iron deficiency. I suffered from RLS when I was iron deficient and once I started taking supplements and getting levels back up the RLS disappeared. Have her doctor do a blood test for serum ferrtitin, transferrin binder, TIBC, etc. if she hasn't had this done already. If the values are abnormal, an iron supplement (I prefer ferrous sulfate) may help. Hope she gets better!
She is a very unique case, she has been on Iron suppliments. Orally she has not been able to keep her Iron level up. Today the Dr. decided to look into Iron by IV. As John Hopkins University's research. Thank you for your comment.
at first it seemed to be rls. but towards the end .. especially from 1:29 on that looks like it could be plmd(periodic limb movement disorder). have the doctors checked into that?? they are very similar
Uremia, due to chronic Kidney disease could cause this, but I'm guessing that is definetely not the case here
