Wel i have tried to take hot showers and things but as soon as I lay down I just start thinking about another pill and how it would stop all of this!!  Ahhh   I hate this part. I have been through this once and I thought I would never do this again..  Why is the mind so strong????

Take a HOT bath w/ epsom salts, stay there as long as you can stand it then get out and wrap your legs with the ace bandages, that worked for me better than anything I tried.

hope that will help a little.
Good luck, Keep posting, you can do this!!!

Magnesium, potassium and calcium all help your legs. Try a ace bandage around them. Hyland makes a restless leg formula that works well for some.
