I type this as it's nearly two in the morning here in Chicago.
So...anybody else on SF have teh jimmy legz? Do you find anything in particular that helps?
I've heard so many different things that can cause it (deficiencies in potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc.) but nothing definitive. I usually run at night before I go to bed to try and calm the sensations down and take an older medication that's used to treat Parkinson's, but that's about it. Usually it does the trick enough for me to sleep but sometimes it really acts up (like tonight).
I hear green tea, salmon and anything containing high amounts of electrolytes also help on the cellular level for treating this annoying problem but I haven't had much luck even though I love tea, salmon and gatorade.
Any other RLS sufferers out there have any unique insights that have helped?
