I don't think more cal/mag will fix it.
I have been having trouble with my legs at night. I thought it was not enough cal/mag but I took a lot tonight and my legs woke me up after about 20 minutes of sleep. I started to think it was in my head but after tonight, I know it's not. The only way I can describe it is like I'm flexing little tiny muscles all up my legs. I am sitting up to sleep with a bean bag under my knees. And my legs are in somewhat uncomfortable positions during the day (when I'm rocking my baby). So what's going on? I just took a few sips of wine hoping that would help. And The rest of my body sometimes feels that to a smaller degree (like tonight). I'm so tired and I need sleep but I can't stop focusing on my legs.

Even if you can't see them or hear them at all, a person's a person, no matter how small!

Re: I don't think more cal/mag will fix it.
Quinine is supposed to help with restless legs, but you have to have a prescription for it here.
I find that it's worse when I'm pregnant and when I'm too hot - my feet/legs in particular. If nothing else helps, and it impairs your life (ie can't sleep at all) I know that here in the UK the drs prescribe Diazepan or another muscle relaxant in severe cases. |

Re: I don't think more cal/mag will fix it.
Could it be a lack of nutrients? I'm off of a bunch of food and I have a problem with not eating enough.

Re: I don't think more cal/mag will fix it.
try some chamomile tea? Chamomile is a muscle relaxant.
