Hi Rosemary, welcome here !!

i'm going to copy a list of suggestions about what you can do, ok ?



you can read the thomas recipe and the amino acid protocol ( health pages on the right side)... take what it may help you and leave the rest...

immodium ( diarrhea )

advil

a good vitamin complex and a good B's ( best sublingual )...

some magnesium chelated+calcium supplements... to help you with muscle cramps and aches

potassium rich food... apple/orange juice  , bananas, spinach, raisins, nutcrackers..

a good chicken soup, tomato soup, eat as healthy as possible ...some protein shakes.

this is very important, .....drink a lot of fluids to keep you hydrated ... gatorades, green tea, tonic water ( it has quinine and it will help you with RLS )

Hylands restful legs to help you with RLS

maybe some natural stuff to help you with sleep like melatonin and valerian root ( good for anxiety too).

lots of hot baths ( with epsom salts if you have them ...)

start with walks and some light exercise as soon as you can to boost your endorphines, enjoy the sun ...



good luck !! :)
