A long time
I have experienced RLS since I was a teenager. My brother has it and my mother had it. I believe one of my grandparents had it as well. This has gotten steadily worse as I've aged. I currently take medication for it. I have also found that rubbing Vicks vapo rub into my legs once they begin twitching. This works ! My brother uses it all the time. I am looking for more information and meeting new people.
Hi
! Welcome to the community! I'm glad you found us. What medication are you taking for your RLS, if you don't mind me asking? With certain RLS medications, augmentation can occur over time, making symptoms worse instead of better. Here is an article about augmentation that might interest you if you are not familiar with it: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/augmentation. How awesome that Vicks is working! I hope you find more tips and tricks here in the community that have helped others and might help you. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
