Thanks Taz but after reading that I don't think he's actually got it. His feet and legs twitch (running) almost constantly when he sleeps but the symptoms don't seem to fit, with no pain or discomfort etc. I think he's been reincarnated from a dog!!  ;) Even when relaxing, watching TV etc his feet are constantly moving, rubbing them together, rustling them (so annoying - it's not just me, the kids go mad too!) No wonder he's so slim, he never stops for a second!

As far as treatment is concerned I might take a leaf out of Sparkle's book and try a frying pan!  ;D

My hubby should be svelte the rate his feet go at sometimes, awake & asleep.  He must be reincarnated from a wee terrier.  ;D

My partner and I decided to sleep in d8fferent beds about 3 years ago due to my hot flushes and rls and not getting to sleep til 3 or 4 am it seemed stupid for us both to have disturbed sleep plus he snores off the scale so it was win win. We were worried it would affect our relationship but if anything it's the opposite as he's getting sleep and we cuddle up at night as we used to do the only difference is I get out of bed once he's asleep and when he wakes up I get back in with him. It's great and I don't feel guilty at soaking the bed and tossing and turning all night..result!!@

Restless leg syndrome is totally different to 'running' - I have both.  For comfort I have always moved my feet, day and night: I didn't know how much until we had kittens which would jump on my toes  ;D. I move my feet/legs when I'm asleep.

Ask your husband to sleep with legs elevated up the wall ........ does he hang them over the edge of the bed which is 1 way I try to relieve the constant need to 'stretch' ........... I spent years 'up the wall'  ;D or sleeping with legs on a pile of pillows.  Bananas eased symptoms for me.

CLKD, you have made me laugh. If I suggested he sleep with his legs up the wall, his response would be two words....guess what they'd be!👀

He is completely unbothered by this continual twitching, he sleeps like the dead, I kid you not! If there's a strange noise in the night, it's me that goes down. His twitching, kick boxing, comedy listening, loud laughing, deep breathing is no longer my problem: he can do what he likes in his own bed in his own room. Once the lights are out I don't give a flying fig what he gets up to!!

The vet said he was probably 30 days old when I found him 15 days ago, so 45 days now.
