Any tips for dealing with restless legs?

Get bionic legs.

is it actual restless legs syndrome or a stress tic? Kiddo's legs kick and stuff when she's stressed out which is why I'm asking. Different methods for stress tics

tonic water. It has quinine in it which helps. I suffer terribly from it, I call it kicky leg

just corvi : it is rls I get it mostly at night but today is bad for some reason.

Moo Deng : I call it cricketing cause I tend to rub my feet/legs together like a cricket lol

how odd, i think this happened to me the other night. how does it feel, to you?

tormentedcorpse : it feels like I have to move and sorta tingles but not tingles. kinda pins and needles but also not. its really hard for me to describe the feeling to be honest.

I don't have rls but my legs get restless and twitchy at night, and getting a weighted blanket actually helps a lot with that

normally I only have it at night and I take gabapentin for it. for some reason I'm having it now and its making me crazy. I took a gabapentin but its not helping. I also take magnesium for it daily.

unfortunately I only know methods for stress tics.

just corvi : that's oki I appreciate it

Sarahndipity : I thought about getting one but they are to warm for me. I sleep with a plain flat sheet in the ac and most of the time partly off off my legs/feet anyway.

oh god i hate the kicky legs... my weighted blanket has helped a lot with them

the one i got is cooling so you don't get hot in it or at least i don't...

my restless legs comes from my meds i think, i also get them when i'm on my period. sometimes its so bad it feels like my legs are just uncontrollably moving and i have to kick

I use magnesium supplements to help. Natural Calm is the powder I use, but about a half dose, so it doesn't make me poo. Lol

I hate rls! I find cooling my legs down helps. Standing on a cold floor or something

Ibuprofen is what i use if I get them, it works

I had it pretty bad during chemo, my doctor actually told me to take benadryl (mind you this was happening at night when I was trying to sleep) and it did the trick. I remember thinking it was odd but my doc told me to do it! lol

it is finally calming down a bit. idk why but during the day it makes more crazy than at night.

Coming in late on this, but I wanted to let you know Mr Dr says b6 helps with RLS. I take it and it really does help. Mine is due to medications I take daily. Hope you find relief.

Laila : oh thank you ill have to ask my Dr about that.
