Restless feet

Not at all my legs, just my feet. Some nights I can't sleep because of this. Does this ever happen to you?

@pprmntstx I am so sorry you are going through this as not fun at all. I've been fighting this for probably the last 10 years which really affects my sleep. For me when my iron is really low is when I really suffer so I have iron infusions about every 90 days. Good luck.

Is it a variation of RLS, Restless Leg Syndome? I've seen the commercials.

Check with your doctor. I think there are meds that can help with that.

I'm sorry it must be miserable. I only feel it in my legs and my word it is miserable. I sometimes have to go to bed just to get relief. Just knock me out. Doctors have told me unless it's a constant thing there is no point in taking meds for it. I've been Type 1 Diabtetic for 23 years but oddly enough I had this happen even in my teens long before I was a diabetic.
My husband ordered him some compression socks because he flies a lot with his job. I tried a pair and they helped some so he got me some. They do help a little.

Mostly my legs. It drives me crazy. I use Andrew Lessman Circulation Vein Support. It really works. I know this because recently I have not been taking them since they were moved from it's normal place where I keep my supplements. LOL!!!

I started having leg pain plus the RLS. I wondered why are my legs bothering me so much when it dawned on me I must not be taking those pills. Sure enough I had not been taking them so I took 2. My legs were already feeling better the next day. Not going without them now. My legs are not swollen with fluid like they were either.

I had Restless Leg Syndrome and had it for many years before I finally figured out what it was. It would wake me up at night, and I'd have to walk around. When I figured it out I finally told my doctor, who prescribed Requip. It's a miracle drug. I've been taking it for a couple of years now and haven't had a problem since.

I don't know if it would work for your feet, but I'd definitely discuss your problem with your doctor.

My Aunt had this and she thinks it happens from alot of sugar mostly.

She has had this other times too and takes a tylenol and it helps and it goes away.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am taking some of the recommended supplements, including iron. So far, no issues!

You are gonna think I'm crazy but I swear, I read it on here a few years ago.

I also had restless leg syndrome - kept me up all night, so when I read about this I tried it.

Ivory soap under the sheet at the foot of the bed....... No more restless leg....

I told my doctor - he shrugged his shoulders and entered it in my chart. "whatever works".....

It's worth a shot.....Under the fitted sheet.....

@sophiamarie OK. It's on my shopping list for the grocery store! At the very least, the sheets will smell great!
