Hi, I like your idea of trying to find out what triggers it...problem is it's almost every day. We don't drink often and don't smoke, I don't use a lot of salt, but when I've used soy sauce to where it's a salty meal have not noticed a difference. Coffee is one thing we like, and I drink every day, but started using unsweetened almond milk and use so much it's basically a latte but just drip coffee. It cuts down on the amount of coffee I drink but I still drink coffee. a few years ago, I stopped for almost 3 weeks and didn't notice any difference, so I started again. I have wondered if sugar is a trigger but have not really tried to see if that's the case.
Pants...I don't wear tight pants especially when traveling, but sometimes they are so will start looking at that. When RLS is bad I'm moving mt feet and stretching my ankles, but if they are not bothering me then I tend not to move an inch if I can help it as it's rare, they are not bothering me. I always have a heating pad in my chair and use it often as that helps. Year ago, I bought this foot massager that also has heat but did not notice much help so only used it a few times. I really like the idea of a diary to see if I can find a trend. Sometimes support stocking feel good and help and other times they annoy me the second I put them on....lol I did discover when flying I use a thermo wrap on my back and it helps greatly when traveling.
