restless leg remedies

[majove]

anyone got any remedies,as a member of my family is suffering terribly

[B00]

Oh I get this occasionally ( you do mean in bed at night- right?) and it drives me bonkers....not to mention Mr Boo!

I've found the only thing that helps is to stick my leg out from under the duvet, not very scientific I know but it does help a bit.

same answer as B00 realy i suffer with it in bed and sometimes it keeps me awake (have a look what time i posted a thread in suggs) anyhow, i have to get my legs from under the duvet and let em hang!!

What's a restless leg? Is that what dogs do when theyre chasing rabbits in their sleep? Or have I got that completely wrong?!

[DavidUK]

One possibility is caffeine. Suggest they try avoiding all caffeine to see if that helps i.e. no coffee, tea, cola drinks etc.

aparently quinine for crampy legs, I was prescribed some but never took it , cant remember why now.

But quinine is in tonic water too, and i havent tried that either because it tasted horribe,

sorry im not much use really !

[DavidUK]

Sorry just to be clear - I did mean avoid caffeine, not use it as a remedy!
