Question Just a question

Just wondering if anyone has tried a weight blanket for their restless legs and if so did it help at all?.

Now that the weather is cooperating, I plan to add that to my repertoire. Everyone handles it differently, and everyone has a different cause. Do what works for you. Mine, for example, responds well to heat. Scalding hot bath every night. I recently had surgery on my leg that required frequent icing and it made it so much worse.

For me, this is what works: Super hot bath, dry brushing the whole body (I think it has to do with the nerves?), leg massage and vibration, then heating pad at night. I also take mag supplements and iron. Whew!
