like you have to move it every 5 seconds or so?
Honestly, 2min walk around the block, or a quick strum before bed. I've had it since puberty. |

Are you the male? Does your calf muscle feel firmer than the other one? |

"Anyone else suffer? Driving me mad 
Have you had it officially diagnosed? Symptoms of RLS are very similar to those of a DVT."

Gabapentin, pregabalin and ropinirole are all effective
The gabapentin and pregablin particularly effective for night time
Ropinirole is a dopamine agonist which helps raise dopamine levels |

I get this occasionally. I ought this vibrating paddle thing that was meant to go in a cot to soothe them to sleep. I put it between my calves and it stops it completely. |

After reading about the side effects, I think I'd rather have restless legs. |

"Well tonight I’m going to try no caffeine after 5 and drinking tonic water  . These sleepless nights are not doing my wrinkles any good!"
I ended up going to the doctors with mine , I have been given ropinirole to take , it has helped but not taken them away. |

I usually get it at specific times.
- When I'm physically tired.
- When I'm trapped in a confined space like a packed car or aeroplane.
- Or if a doze off, and woken up before I enter deep sleep.
Feels like it's almost psychological. |

It can definitely be psychological as sometimes if I try and distract myself it goes ! I have cut out caffeine in the evening and that’s helped a lot x |

A friend of mine has it while shes asleep, apparently shes like a dog dreaming with the way she twitches. Her doctor put her on Pramipexole which is used to treat Epilepsy. Seems to work for her. |
