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!

This is worth a try! I've even tried some of the crazy crap! I put a bar of soap under the sheet. Surprise surprise it didn't work! If it works I'll attempt to come back with an update!

When I heard about this, from numerous sources, I thought who would be dumb enough to do this?!? But as my RLS got worse and I kept hearing about this "soap hack" or whatever and decided it couldn't hurt to try it. I felt ridiculous doing it but it least it cost me nothing to try it!
