Re: can't get my legs to stop...

You will know if it is real Restless Leg Syndrome. It is not that your leg shakes, it is that it feels like there is something moving inside your muscle and the only way to make that horrible feeling go away is to move your leg. When awake, it is a terrible thing if you cannot move much (such as being in the back seat of a car on a long road trip). While sleeping, your body moves the leg without your input, but it keeps you from diving into deep REM sleep.

Shaking without that horrible feeling - not so bad...I would kill to have it be only that. I constantly bounce my legs as it is, but when RLS strikes, life gets bad.

I was able to GREATLY reduce my RLS symptoms by quitting all lactose. Turns out it was the first sign of me becoming lactose intolerant. I am now at the point where I cannot eat an entire milk chocolate bar without having terrible bowels afterwards. This is a bad thing, seeing as I live near Hershey PA!!!

i have some pretty crazy twitches on occasion myself but nothing like what you described. that's crazy. now i will say that i am in the same boat with you on the dairy products as far as guts go. i love ice cream and all kinds of dairy but it destroys my guts to the point of the jungle shits. no joke having issues keeping water down jungle shits. that's if i get carried away with it but even a small amount still wrecks my guts horribly. it is crazy how many of us have these sorts of issues

I was diagnosed with RLS 2 years ago by neurologist. I have the symptoms you describe but I refuse to take any meds for it. RLS can also be a symptom of low iron and that I do have so I eat more iron rich foods. Not something he told me but something I came upon in my own research. So someone like myself may have low iron/ anemic and it may be causing my RLS. Some SSRIS can do the same . My point is still there is a name for everything so people make $$$ and more take meds. many a time things are just symptoms of a true cause that most docs don't look for. Another diagnosis for constant moving shaking legs is anxiety.. a pill for that too. Iknow all about that pain in the legs and for me I just want someone to take me from each end and just pull me aprt. I was just venting but no news to me

Amen to that! I do not take anything for it either - I am worried that I will get side effects that need another pill to cure...which has side effects that need another pill to cure...which has...

Most humans become lactose intolerant during their lives...the only notable exceptions are the northern Europeans. Goat's milk products do not contain lactose, so they are fine.
