Restless legs

[Ellen RA-AP]

Hi!  I remember back on the “old website” a thread about putting something in your sheets to calm restless legs.  It was something like a bar of Ivory Soap…but probably not Ivory Soap.  Does anyone remember what I am talking about?

 

Much thanks,

Ellen

I read about a bar of Ivory soap, under the bottom sheet/bed, and no restless leg.  Haven't tried it, don't have RLS, but let us know if it works….

[Ellen RA-AP]

thanks so much!  I will let you know if it helps:D

This is great!  It's actually one of my coworkers who mentioned having the problem.  I sent her this article too…can't wait to see if it works:cool:

If nothing else, maybe it will help SFS – Stinky Feet Syndrome. But I'll never know, since my feet always smell like roses! In the spirit of practicing what I preach, I'm going to try it for the RLS. Heck, I'll put potpuuri in my sheets if it will help me sleep better.

You can try it on Cisco first. :roll-laugh:

Kim,

You may be on to something there, he has chased countless varmints in his sleep. I've been kicked in my back quite often by his little legs. But they're such nice dreams for him, how can I deny him?

Ellen have you tried magnesium supplement.   It relaxes the muscles and helps you sleep better.

While I really want to know if the bar of soap works – read that after I fixed the RLS – magnesium, magnesium, magnesium!

Hugs,

Ooh, look what I just found – RLS and sleep disorder in one study linked to magnesium deficiency!

Yup – my naturopath has recommended a good magnesium tab late at night to help with sleep AND aches in the legs. She recommends crushing and then mixing in slightly warm water to help it get into the system quickly. Lynnie

I find magnesium oil actually rubbed into the calf muscles works best of all for restless legs. It works in seconds.
