Movement and exercise usually provide some temporary relief. There is an herbal supplement called LegCalm that works great for RLS

I found that taking Magnesium pills (400mg) once a day has releived me of the creepy crawlies for at least 2 years. I don't miss a day without taking the magnesium. At one time I had RLS at least 4 to 5 times a week. With the magnesium pills, I don't have to take prescription pills.

I gave my mother a good vitimin mineral complex and SOMETHING in it cured her. get a hand held massager and massage your legs, study up on reflexoligy, were you rub certain places to help that, I can t tell you like this exactly where, ,hot water to relax your muscles, valerian root is a natural relaxant, good luck. some drugs cause this, change your medication if advisable,

This is going to sound kinda strange, but when that happens to me while I'm lyingin bed I change my body position to where my head is at the foot of the bed and my legs are where my head usually is. I swear this works...for me at least!! Try it!!

Kick off the bedclothes, and "cycle" your legs in the air for a few minutes. This always works for me.
