The rls is horrible. Hot hot baths with epsom salts help. Also.a heating pad. Live in the tub if you need to. I'm halfway thru day 2 in a big truck and would kill for a bath tub! I have gabapentin that helps with the rls. This is my second time thru this garbage. Health permitting, my last! Gatorade helps more than you can imagine. I've heard vitamin water revive helps too. I'm alternating the 2. Hang in there! It will get better!
The first few days (2-4) will be the worst. Then the symptoms decrease.
The hot baths are very good for the muscles - take as many as you need in a day.
Are you taking supplements?
I had to take a few days off from work - then returned on day # 5.
Well I got through my first night Rls is killing me, and the no sleep did'nt help either my back is killing me im a mess lol , Rosy and Gnarly thanx for the info and kind words ill keep you guys posted.
