You also might want to try ensure or something of that nature. It has a lot of nutrients and protein. With the amount you were using you have a big hump to get over but then you're well on your way. I wish you the best of luck.

Taking the leap is hard but why keep doing it to yourself? Running out and going through wd's month after month? If you just get through it once you will be done and not have to worry about it anymore! A life of freedom! Not chained to pills! Its not easy but it IS worth it!

Look up the ingredients in the Thomas recipe.  It seems it helps a lot of people.  Soaking in hot baths with Epsom salts will help tremendously with RLS.  Also there.s a product called Restful Legs bt Hyland's.  Tonic water with quinine, as well as bananas and orange juice all have potassium which will helo the restless legs.  Make sure to drink plenty and eat watever you can keep down.  Melatonin or Alteril can help with the sleep issues.
