@mamamarch I tried all of the above. I do take B1 as I have been deficient also a multivitamin and magnesium. The gabbapentin actually does work for stopping the lightning bolt pains I would get in the evening. As far as being able to move and have agility, I have concluded, for me I have to keep moving. The annoyance factor will always be there 24/7 . Yes I usually need to take something for sleep. My biggest fear is going back to barely being able to walk and all that comes with that. Of course at 60 how long can I do 20k steps a day? What do you do?

@jum13, I am 76 years old and while I don't get 20k steps in each day, I do take several exercise classes each week. The combination and variety helps to keep me coming back.
