[evincenaturals]

Wow...I hope you are you received some help. I don't imagine that you get very much sleep.

[ShaynaTAnn15]

yup that's me... :P

[SashaNein]

I'm not that bad off, but some nights lately my legs have felt like they're vibrating, and they do some slightly violent spams any time I try to start falling asleep. Mine might be different though, as when I tie up my legs, my freakin arms start popping out at random times. It's aggravating as hell!

[rachelhardy14]

My legs will jerk me awake when im trying to sleep at night

[yunderup]

thats kinda what my feet do at night when im trying to sleep..... im glad i don't have this reaction when im awake though.

[MLGxXxElite]

just get up and move around be more active

[big0pimpin420]

looks to me like that have athletes foot and they're itching it..

[jamesbond9011]

Omg i felt a muscle moving every 20 secs so i googled it and it came up with (very small chance of this) this thing but now i der i defenetly don't have it, though i feel sorry for this person:(

[Rabidwolverine3]

That's more PLMD.

[music87wch]

@Rabidwolverine3 That happens during sleep

[MrVargas1000]

i get it in my left leg and my left arm!!! its so sad and it really is the worst feeling in the world. the onl thing that helps me is vicks vapor rub and wrapping it up with something thight!

[MrVargas1000]

i have never seen a doctor for this cause i thought they would think im crazy!!! but this video is so true cause i have the same leg movments when i try and sleep. this is real.

[MrVargas1000]

OMG. IM not the only one!!! i feel so sorry for her. Thats the same shit I do !!!! everone think im crazy ughh this is the worst feeling in the world!

[daffodyllady]

Sit in a hot bath for 20 minutes. I mean hot enough to redden the skin. I have gone through all the prescription meds, and the hot bath just before crawling into bed is the only thing that works anymore.

[evetmoo]

My restless leg syndrome becomes worse esp in summer times when the rooms are warmer and you can't slepp easily. Air conditioning helps a lot. Spending time in the bed (ready book or thinking in the bed) triggers the syndrome. You have to sleep as soon as you lay on the bed.

[lifeismasked]

Had this when I was younger.

Not any more (I'm in my early twenties now)

I may have had Iron deficiency(Anemia ) when I was younger. My mom used to give my Vitamins and iron. I've also starting eating more healthy, and more active (working out, bike ect).

Also I found out that my mom had it. Go blame your parents :D

[Jampper]

wow thats pretty sick RLS WTF :O thats creepy!

[mikec205]

Mirapex resolved my symptoms

[Tommit9]

Been there many times!!

[gonaleve]

Lets all just post what we personally do to try to relieve this awful condition.Maybe someone will benefit from your approach.

Whilst in bed i turn to my side and raise one leg up to my chest...it only works for a while though, before i have to change sides.

[nikeboy987]

RLS!!!!!

[LionGoddess1]

her feet do that on their own? O_o?? wth?

[kdawgfoeva]

yep, sure is RLS!

[sugarobyn]

Does working out (walking, running, swimming, aerobics) relieve the symptoms?

[steveoo6]

@sugarobyn squatting is the perfect single exercise to relieve the symptoms...running would also help. Focus solely on targeting your legs to relieve the symptoms. do bodyweight squats an hour before you go to bed. exhaust your legs. Squatting will stretch the quad, release oxygen into your body and youll feel a rush on endorphins 15-30 min after really performing the exercise until your legs are tired. idk if you have the disorder but if you do try this! and tell me if it works!

[LongHairAndGlasses]

I have this and it FUCKING SUCKS

[01101011010101010100]

Restless Leg Syndrome was a side affected I experienced while taking antiemetic medicine for a week - it doesn’t cause your legs to twitch violently - it causes this very irritable feeling in your feet and the only semi-relief from it is to move your feet around constantly and if you don’t move your feet around you feel irritable around your whole body. Sometimes it got so bad I had to walk around in a circle for a few hours, however, putting my feet in very warm water worked like a charm!

[metalmancer85]

you non believers are idiots. i know this is real because i have it and this is exactly the type of movement i do to relieve the sensation. ive never seen a doctor about it which proves im not just seeking some diagnosis and yall dont know me at all which proves im not just looking for attention. the only other people who know i have this are people who have lived with me. so take that, b*tches!

[monst4h]

ITT: Faggots with RLS.

FYI: I think I have RLS too, but not as severe as these people or the people commenting.

[ReviewCam]

I get sick to death of people thinking RLS is just leg cramps or periodic leg movements of sleep. RLS is a subjective sensation while awake. I take Requip (not the miracle drug I hoped for) and Konopin. Tegretol used to work wonders but not any more:(

[jimlbw]

Chair558, I always told people "I wouldn't wish this condition on anyone"! You have made me rethink that statement. This lady rubbing her feet together is doing exactly what I do to try to rub the sensation off. It's like an itch that you can't reach times 50. I even get it in the daytime.

[jimlbw]

Chair558, you are a fucking idiot. How dare you assume there is no such condition whey there is. It is a condition not a disease. It has been documented for hundreds of years and recently in the last hundred years has been given new treatments. Imagine being dead tired and wanting to close your eyes but you feel an unimaginable tickle in your legs. That it what mine is like only I get it in my arms as well. I take Mirapex for it and it barely helps. You my friend should be ashamed of your self.

[chair558]

I think its funny what the TV will make all of you believe.. Before, if you were to go to your doctor saying you had this, he or she would laugh at you and tell you to go home. If diagnosing something that everyone has as a disease makes you feel important, than so be it.

[LongHairAndGlasses]

@chair558 FUCK YOU. I HAVE THIS SYNDROME FOR REAL YOU DICK! IT'S BEEN DIAGNOSED!

[pony12297]

idk what happened every day since i can remember i woke up with bruises and i'm wondering is this what i had? and when i was about 10 i stopped doing this? is it possible i out grew it? I used to do that with y legs a lot...

[WillEyePWNu]

my friend has this

[readmylips76]

I've had this, intermittently, since I was a child and I make the same movements in my legs too. Easily recognise the effort to try and stretch the aches away from my calf muscles! I've 2 children and through both of my pregnancies my RLS got worse - combine that with lack of sleep anyway and I'm one knackered woman! Have started reading up on it after all these years and I'm surprised to find that it's more common than I thought.My partner said that i kick my legs about when I sleep too.

[soph7133]

This is the most frustrating disease to have. I suffer everyday from it

[PureBrutalSickness]

does she still have this???

[chair558]

Restless leg syndrome does not exist

[GeneStarwind09]

@chair558 And what are you basing that opinion on?

[PingaloBill]

@chair558 It does exist.

[Zipito06]

@chair558 this doesn't, restless legs during rem sleep does

[lifeismasked]

@chair558 Just like you don't exist. If your gonna post bullshit don't bother imo.

[CorderoIvan]

@chair558 i have it, its a bitch to try and sleep. as im writing this its 6:32 am and ive been up since yesterday because ive been trying to fall asleep for 5 hours now

[skankingrudeboy]

@chair558 Tell my legs that at night :P

[kickemhi]

I don't know if this video is real time or editied to capture periods of movement. The movements look more like PLMD, but if it is real time, it must be something else due to no spacing between movements. I have RLS & PLMD. Some of the meds for treating limb movements can cause augmentation, so if one chooses to take them, they need to watch for this.

[AtomchildMusic]

I have the same problem. I do the same thing. I get it in my arms and solar plexus. It's neurological. For the past 20 years, I have found only one total cure. The catch is: it's opiates that make it go away. HOWEVER!!!!!! Opiate withdrawal makes it 10 times worse.

[CorderoIvan]

@AtomchildMusic hey i have it too since i was about 7 years old, now im 18. for the past few months ive found something that calms it down for me, i roll up a shirt and tie around my leg where i feel it, right behind the knee and it soothes it enough to where i can sleep. idk maybe try and tell me if it works. Also thinking about something else and trying to keep my mind away from the rls also helps some.

[ValerieLumley]

Restless leg syndrome part of FMS. FMS a symptom of a traumatic Atlas subluxation that causes a brain stem injury. This injury causes the central nervous system to become hyperactive and hypersensitive. The muscles become chronically tight around key nerve junctures and the energy congests at these points and builds up to a critical mass, and then explodes down the meridians, or nerve pathways, into the legs. This cycle repeats itself until the tight muscles are stretched and relaxed.

[spartacus6839]

I had rls for 15 years and it got worse and worse. I now mix 2 tea spoons of gateraide into water and sip it throughout the day and all my symptoms are gone.

If i go 2 days without the gateraide or staminade the symtoms return.

[babyliisa]

@spartacus6839 does the gatorade need to be in water or will it work by itself?

[juuliuuz]

that is scary

[literatibuff]

This video doesn't look like she has RLS. I used to have it as a child and it returned a few years ago. (I'm now 62.) There are no INVOLUNTARY movements with RLS - only the creepy-crawly sensation in the calves and/or thighs. It feels as if there are bugs crawling inside your legs. The closest I can relate it to is having an intense itch that you can't scratch. I'm lucky that it doesn't happen to me in bed, so my sleep is not affected, but only sitting and reading. Drugs are not working.

[ontariobuds]

not being able to relax is the worst feeling in the world.

[donnaorsino]

@ValerieLumley

Please explain more. I have Firomyalgia and have for years. RLS is BAD. I take Miripex for it.

[fotwen]

i think i suffer from this.. but i just really bounce my leg and shake my legs constantly.. it really dont' bother me that much... it bothers ppl i sit next to alot.. but not me. my leg bounces without me even knowing about it.. but it's not really a problem for me.. and it's been like for as long as i remember. but it dont' do it that much after i smoke a nice good blunt. lol... weed is the cure. not really, i'm just kidding. but it does help. i dont' see the big deal. unless this is different.

[BaldySperman2]

are you fucking shitting me? looks like you're just itching to beat your damn meat.

be done with it already.

[stackary]

What is rls caused by? is it phsycological or physical?

[TheSlevaslava]

i have it too it ruins you life quality.

[BaldySperman2]

@TheSlevaslava beat your meat more often. mystery solved.

[TheSlevaslava]

@BaldySperman2

really hoo gezz thankz man

r u sure it will help ;) ;)

[julwaburgess]

@BaldySperman2 _ you're an idiot....live with this, as I do, and you'd be crying like a little girl

[bulllsize]

I m age 20.I also do suffer from RLS.Here in my country this aint considered a disease and doctors know nthing about it..wat shall I do??

[postigaceltic]

As someone mentioned before "REQUIP" might help in this case. Its a precursor of Dopamine, a neurotransmissor, which lacks on people who have this syndrome (like myself).

[ReviewCam]

After the RLS diagnosis I learned I had a pituitary tumor, the high prolactin it secreted also made the RLS worse.

People confuse RLS with muscle cramps and PLMS. My symptoms are all day and night. i rather have severe pain than this! RLS happens when you're awake.

[xvietxkrazix]

the leg has the self control! do u get tire? o.o does it occur even in ur sleeps?

[ReviewCam]

@xvietxkrazix It's the god-awful sensation in the legs. The only relief is moving the legs. Similiar to the tremor in Parkinson's. Worse at rest, goes away with movement. Except...the tremor deep in the leg muscles of RLS is unlike any pain or sensation. You have to have it, to understand how miserable it is.

RLS only happens when ur awake.

[Buskie1]

This is a major pain in the ass, my legs don't jerk around like they do in this though.

I get the same feeling in my shoulders, neck and arms too though, they're a bit more bearable than when it happens in my legs.

[DanniJAS]

I also have quite sever back and neck pain but given the choice would opt to rid myself of RSL before the pain. Is truly is something which must b experienced to b understood. I can n ot imagine just how bad this is going to b in another 10 years.

If anyone has any tips to easing RSL besides movement please share. Willingto try ANYTHING

[ReviewCam]

@DanniJAS Daniel-before I was diagnosed my only help was to sleep with a back messager under my legs. The vibration get my leg muscles "moving" thus releaving the RLS and I could sleep. Tegretol helped tremendously for me. It was a miracle drug.

Have you been to a sleep center?

[DanniJAS]

@ReviewCam I do have a back massager but never thought of trying it on my legs.I will b doing that tonight!!

Im currently 6 & 1/2 months pregnant so will stay away from the drugs for the moment but would b more than happy to use them afterwards if they will help. My symptoms are so much worse recently, i dont know if it has anything to do with my being pregnant or if the timings just coincidence.

[DanniJAS]

@ReviewCam Really do not want to b getting up several times a night to ease the symptoms at the moment being so tired and am dreading not being able to get any decent rest when exhausted looking after a new born!

Have not been to a sleep centre but its definately time I go

[DanniJAS]

I'm 28yo and have had this for around 15 years. It is has slowly been getting worse all the time. I cant remember the last time I had a decent nights sleep because of this. I have to get out ofbed several times a night and walk around to calm it down. I'm nowalso experiencing it during the day if I am sitting still and am begining to experience it in my armsat night. Somethingas simple as diet/eating bananas DOES NOT make any difference!

[ReviewCam]

@DanniJAS there are a lot of meds to help--requip, opiates, anti-convulsants like Tegretol, Neurontin, and Klonopin.

[Christinathegreat1]

Thats gotta suck

[bcboy3n2]

try it chad the nights you can't sleep the creeping sensation the constant movement to just say its a dietary problem is crap and i eat bananas all the time so don't downplay it until you've really been through it

[astroid911]

If you find anything that helps you out with this please let us know I too suffer from this on and off some times it's really bad and sometimes it's bearable.

[BbGirl77738]

I have it daily it annoys me so dam much... in school, when im trying to go to sleep... its not as bad as the case in this vid tho used to be but thankfully its not...

[djhgkchfd]

i have it only when i am trying to sleep my legs feel like there tence then not then tence again almost like your flexing them it sucks to have it when you get woke up in the night

[villinousone83]

in her case it looks like athleates foot and too many crack hits off the pookie

[RockabillyVegan]

am I seriously the only one who thinks this is a made up thing?! It's called energy! Lay off the caffeine and get some exercise. You don't need sedatives.

[chadinterrupted]

i agree. magnesium also calms your nerves. eat bananas. its not a disease, just a name for a symptom. i looked this up because my leg was shaking uncontrollably and this is the first thing i thought of. so i went and ran and ate a banana and i feel fine.

[EASYTIGER10]

I can only assume you guys don't have RLS. I had it as a child when I didn't drink coffee and got plenty of exercise! And what is more, hadn't even heard of it!

And if your leg was "shaking uncontrollably" it's not RLS. Limb movement in RLS is entirely voluntary, although the impulse is overwhelming. You do it to relieve the symptoms, like putting ice on a burn to numb it.

And I would agree sedatives are not a very affective treatment. Anti-convulsants on the other hand can be.

[chadinterrupted]

i don't know what people with rls are trying to relieve, but i know i have high stress a lot and i have had times where i will shake my legs for hours. it just doesn't seem like something that should be taken so seriously if it can't hurt you.

[EASYTIGER10]

I'd have mild pain over RLS any day.

But the pain isn't the main problem, it's the unreleived sleep deprivation. That can have big long term consequences.

Like many, I get stressed at times and may releive it with movements, but that is not RLS. I go through periods without either and know the difference!

I have sciatic pain, neck pain, migraine and asthma. But I'd want to get rid of the RLS before any of them.

I think you just have to have experienced it to know what it's like.

[chadinterrupted]

i suppose its just like anything else. i had extreme anxiety and depression that was so bad i was thinking of checking out. the worst part was not having anyone there that really could understand what i was going through and just laugh. i kind of had to just rely on myself and i am way better now. anyways, i always wanted to know what rls really was. just be glad it wont kill you.

[ReviewCam]

@chadinterrupted Chad, there's a difference between being nervous and moving around. The RLS sensation in the legs is only releaved by movement. It's the sensation in the legs, not just being anxious and moving around a lot. IT IS a big deal!

[chadinterrupted]

@ReviewCam i would classify it then as something more along the lines of dystonia instead of giving it its own name. i never said it wasn't a problem. i just said there is much much worse. kind of like a count your blessings sort of thing.

[ReviewCam]

@chadinterrupted I count my blessings only in terms of this not being a progressive disease, but that's about it. The suffering and misery are in no way a blessing. I think most people with RLS feel the same. It's hell. Wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

[chadinterrupted]

@ReviewCam i take it you have rls. well good luck. i was just on looking it up seeing what it was about curious. wasn't trying to be derogatory. i never said it was pleasant.

[ReviewCam]

@chadinterrupted TY for the well-wishes, Chad:) No worries. We're cool with each other:)

[chadinterrupted]

@ReviewCam no problem.

[younghippo]

a good remedy for restless leg syndrome i like to use is heroin.

[degrandis1]

naaa man... benzoss

[highsteel240]

@younghippo maybe the heroin is what is giving you the jimmies, you got the wd jimmy legs

[charminpitts]

I have this...two things that I have noticed that makes it ten times worse is caffeine and benedryl...and them combined will make a completely sleepless night...

[RKOxPunk]

omg i drink a full bottle of dr pepper and now im getting this... damn caffeine.. this is the reason thx

[drei9]

DENg, I thought i was the only person who has this disease. my symptoms kinda subsided as i grew older. back in the days, my symptoms were alot worse. i wud literaly kick somebody off the bed just to lessen the tingling sensation. my bros. thought that i was weird. lol. i stil have it once in awhile though but not as bad as it used to.. ddnt do anything.. i just prolly outgrew the disease.

[chadinterrupted]

its not a disease.

[wantbanana]

i also have this kind of thing. what i do to lessen the tingling or the annoying feeling, i try stretch my leg and ask help from my sibling to do the massaging and stretching. or sometimes, i try to circle my ankle, of course with a little help.

[sonia989]

My husband has tried massaging my legs but it just made the spasms worse and it was unbearable.

[hotlez008]

massage her legs!!!!! from the hips down.

and this is strange thing i have heard but put between one to four bars of soap at the foot of the bed just under the sheets. i knwo it sounds crazy but it is worth a shot i have heard it works
