I've had this problem for many years so know what you are going through. I don't like taking pills so have found my own treatment. First, I've discovered it can be brought on by almost anything involving my lower back - gardening, riding in cars, sitting in a recliner chair, etc.. When the legs begin to act up, I have a plain, round bar stool I sit on and leg my legs dangle. I lean forward with my elbows on the counter and relax in that position for just a few minutes. I then walk down the hall climb in bed and go right to sleep for the rest of the night! I am convinced that my restless leg syndrome is caused by the lower vertebra pressing on a nerve. I have tired everything else and this is the best of two things that works for me(except medication, such as valium which I take on rare occasions). When I wake up in the middle of the night with this problem, I don't want to do anything that will wake me up further so sitting quietly in the dark keeps me in the sleepy mode. Hope you can find something that works for you.
