My solution for restless legs
Occasionally I will be kept awake with a restless leg. It’s mild thank goodness certainly nothing like some poor people suffer and I read a fantastic description that says it feels like you have fizzy water in your veins. Spot on. It keeps me awake. My remedy, which always works for me is to get out of bed and do some strenuous hopping on the offending leg. Just in case anyone feels like trying it. Not for everyone obviously.
Hello, it started a few years ago I guess and it remains a sporadic thing. I can’t even determine what sets it off either. My remedy was something I tried just off the top of my head. I can only imagine the horror of not being able to stop it let alone how strong it could be. It really isn’t until you have an experience of anything that makes you understand just how life affecting stuff can be. So many people’s stories on here make me realise that I really am quite fortunate.
Hi
