Post by: JaneinPen on April 11, 2018, 12:43:00 PM

Might be of interest to the ladies who suffer like me. There is a programme on Channel 5 tonight at 10:00pm about Restless Leg Syndrome

Was it a good programme?  I found my symptoms are cured by eating lots of bananas and if necessary, taking 2 Nurofen at night.

It was actually quite scary CLKD. The people in the programme really really suffer and their lives are just awful.  I have tried the bananas even although I don't like them but they didn't work for me. Haven't tried the meds option though. Presently taking nurofen for my back so want them to work on that just now but will give that a try once better - if ever!!

I found that elevating my legs helped a lot, but I would roll over when asleep and lose any good effect  ::)
