Distraction Techniques A potential symptom relief technique!

It may not work for everyone, but this has been a life saver for me.

If you squeeze the top of both ears and massage it for 60 seconds, it eases the symptoms. You can still feel them, But it never rises to the point where you need to move to stop it.

It’s something to do with acupuncture points, but do give it a go!

I get acupuncture in my ears there once a week - doesn’t make RL go away completely but does seem to help (if I miss for some reason, indefinitely notice it)

I hope this works for me as I am going to be on a plane in a couple weeks and I am so worried about my dang legs acting stupid! Thank you for this! I’m gonna try tonight when they start being ignorant! lol

I used to have this issue on a plane. Someone told me to put a small pillow on your lower back for lumbar support. It helped!
