Restless Legs and lack of sleep.
For the past three years I have had so many broken nights and lack of sleep because of my legs constantly moving/kicking/cramp. About 8 weeks ago for the first time ever I put moisturising cream on both my feet just before getting into bed. I slept for six hours that night. Every night since I have massaged my feet with the Moisturising Cream. I have at least six hours sleep every night and no problems with my legs. The difference this makes in the daytime is hard to put into words. I have no idea why this works and am sending this in in case it may help other sufferers.
I am happy that you found some relief with your lack of sleep, ever hoping Pete. Hopefully, others who have similar conditions will try your remedy. Otherwise, seeing a movement disorder neurologist, if you haven't done so already can evaluate this condition. Best, Marc M., Moderator, parkinsonsdisease.net

I am simply using Nivea Moisturising Cream.
Very economic and available everywhere.
Hope this may help.Thanks. I actually have Nivea in my medicine cabinet.I don’t have RLS but it certainly couldn’t hurt to use it. Thea DeStephano Community Team Member
