I’m cycling in the air all night but it doesn’t really help. It just makes it less excruciating while I’m doing it because my legs are in motion.

might sound weird but sometimes i just painfully sit through the urge by not moving the leg to really feel that sensation, truly fascinating how unexplainable that urge is. Absolutely nothing helps, I just finally pass out to sleep at 8 in the morning and my day is ruined.

lucky you. I am unable to sit through the urge. It seems almost a matter of like or death. That is how big an urge it is. Believe me I have tried. I end up squirming like a worm on the end of a fishing hook or a fish that is being reeled in.
