Members phkrause Posted February 12 Author Members Posted February 12 Treatments for Restless Legs Syndrome There are no cures for primary restless legs syndrome, or RLS, although various treatments often can help relieve symptoms. Treatment for secondary restless legs syndrome (RLS caused by another medical problem) involves treating the underlying cause. https://www.webmd.com/brain/restless-legs-syndrome/restless-leg-syndrome-treatment? ps:Not sure I agree! My wife has this and she just read an article, which I didn't ask her where she found it? Wish I had, anyway, this article claims it's not the legs but a brain reaction to not having enough Iron in your body!! Her doctor told he a while ago that her iron levels where down so she started taking iron supplements and it actually stop her RLS problem!! When she doesn't take her iron it comes back. I'm going to fact check this with her later and see if I can find this article!!!

There is no cure, they dont know the cause. I have had it for over 20 years. Mirapex,a drug for Parkinsons is very effective in treating the symptoms,. most narcotics will also give temporary relief, I recently was in ICU with Congestive Heart failure the end result of being dangerously low on iron. After tending to the obvious the search started for the cause of other symptoms I was having. One Dr laughed at dangerously close to describing the lack of iron. He said it was more accurate to say I didnt have any iron. The culpert for a whole host of problems was Hep C that I had from a contaminated blood transfusion. I had a iron infusion and that took care of the RLS and chronic insomnia. That was the last day of RLS. Dont know if it is permanently taken care of or if it would come back phkrause 1 Quote
Members phkrause Posted February 13 Author Members Posted February 13 Great website! My wife also takes Magnesium, but it doesn't seem to help her as much as the iron!!

The typical test for iron levels wont give a totally accurate picture. Most will not be able to jtake iron supplements. Depends on how low your iron is. For me it would have made me deathly ill to take the quantity needed. Epsom salts is a great additive to magnesium or iron. Hot bath with epsom salts works wonders phkrause 1 Quote
