Severe RLS solved for me

So many people do not understand it when you tell them you have RLS. They make comments like oh yeah, I get the jimmies too or yeah I get cramps in my legs. RLS is nothing like that, it literally ruins your life because you never sleep and the anxiety is overwhelming. I don’t go on vacations if I have to travel more than 3 hours by car, and even at that, I let the driver know I have to stop and walk around at least once during the trip. I refuse to get on a plane because of my fear of having to sit for too long.
Several of the people at the support group were also on methadone and said the treatment along with other medications was working.
I applaud your bravery and I’m so happy that it is working for you.

@reillyg1013 glad you have found some relief. I don't have RLS but get a max of 5-6 hours of sleep a night. I see you said you take magnesium citrate. I was told that isn't the best for sleep, that magnesium glycinate is better for sleep. I've been taking magnesium glycinate and have seen some improvement. Have you only used magnesium citrate or have you also used magnesium glycinate and if so, do you notice a difference.
