Default 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.

Default 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.

Default 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.

I'm feeling it again and I had cal/mag, some extra vit. B, and a good meal. Help me here!

try some chamomile tea? Chamomile is a muscle relaxant.
