does anyone know anything,or anyways to get rid of restless leg syndrome?

Answer 1

Although movement brings relief to those with RLS, it is generally only temporary. However, RLS can be controlled by finding any possible underlying disorder. Often, treating the associated medical condition, such as peripheral neuropathy or diabetes, will alleviate many symptoms. For patients with idiopathic RLS, treatment is directed toward relieving symptoms.

For those with mild to moderate symptoms, prevention is key, and many physicians suggest certain lifestyle changes and activities to reduce or eliminate symptoms. Decreased use of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco may provide some relief. Physicians may suggest that certain individuals take supplements to correct deficiencies in iron, folate, and magnesium. Studies also have shown that maintaining a regular sleep pattern can reduce symptoms. Some individuals, finding that RLS symptoms are minimized in the early morning, change their sleep patterns. Others have found that a program of regular moderate exercise helps them sleep better; on the other hand, excessive exercise has been reported by some patients to aggravate RLS symptoms. Taking a hot bath, massaging the legs, or using a heating pad or ice pack can help relieve symptoms in some patients. Although many patients find some relief with such measures, rarely do these efforts completely eliminate symptoms

Physicians also may suggest a variety of medications to treat RLS. Generally, physicians choose from dopaminergics, benzodiazepines (central nervous system depressants), opioids, and anticonvulsants. Dopaminergic agents, largely used to treat Parkinson's disease, have been shown to reduce RLS symptoms and PLMD and are considered the initial treatment of choice. Good short-term results of treatment with levodopa plus carbidopa have been reported, although most patients eventually will develop augmentation, meaning that symptoms are reduced at night but begin to develop earlier in the day than usual. Dopamine agonists such as pergolide mesylate, pramipexole, and ropinirole hydrochloride may be effective in some patients and are less likely to cause augmentation.

In 2005, ropinirole became the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration specifically for the treatment of moderate to severe RLS. The drug was first approved in 1997 for patients with Parkinson’s disease.

Benzodiazepines (such as clonazepam and diazepam) may be prescribed for patients who have mild or intermittent symptoms. These drugs help patients obtain a more restful sleep but they do not fully alleviate RLS symptoms and can cause daytime sleepiness. Because these depressants also may induce or aggravate sleep apnea in some cases, they should not be used in people with this condition.

For more severe symptoms, opioids such as codeine, propoxyphene, or oxycodone may be prescribed for their ability to induce relaxation and diminish pain. Side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and the risk of addiction.

Anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine and gabapentin are also useful for some patients, as they decrease the sensory disturbances (creeping and crawling sensations). Dizziness, fatigue, and sleepiness are among the possible side effects.

Unfortunately, no one drug is effective for everyone with RLS. What may be helpful to one individual may actually worsen symptoms for another. In addition, medications taken regularly may lose their effect, making it necessary to change medications periodically.

Answer 3

It isn't really possible to lose fat just on the arms or legs. It is however as you know possible to lose fat all over the body by doing exercise and eating more healthy. What IS possible to do to the arms and legs is to lift some weights, and thereby gain some muscle tone which will eventually come to show through the fat, and make your arms/legs a lot more tight. There isn't anything else to do than go to the gym really ;) Use half the time at cardio exercises and the other half on some basic weight lifting. For the legs squats would be perfect, and for the arms just use whatever you find the best for yourself.

Answer 4

I can tell you but you'll probably think I'm kidding you.

My aunt had it, bad, and so did I. What works, Benadryl capsules. Yes, the allergy medicine. I actually bought the el-cheapo brand from the Dollar general store ($1.25) just to try it, and yes, it did work, like my aunt said. Just take as stated on package, as needed. Hope it helps you too.


Andee is right, BUT, if your like me, you don't like being doped up on prescriptions all of the time, and with things like that, once you start it, you have to keep taking alot of that stuff, which I won't do.

Answer 5

I think that taking a calcium/magnesium citrate 1:1 ratio before be can help. Calcium helps the muscles contract normally and magnesium helps the muscles relax normally. I think that 200-500mg would do it.

Answer 6

You are probably deficient in potassium, calcium, magnesium or Vitamin B6.

Answer 7

There are prescription medications available from your doctor.
