: Hi all,
: During the past few months I've developed a strange condition that is starting to really interfer with my life.

: Not every night, but way too many of them, I fall alseep only to be awaken by tingling on the bottom of my feet which goes on to feel like cramps or electric shocks running up my legs. I've talked to my doctor and he gave me Quinine. That helps as long as I take it, but I don't want to have to take it daily forever!! Does this sound like RLS to you folks and if so, what have you found that helps you the most when this problem occurs.

: So glad you're all out there. =)

Hi Mary ...Yes it does help to know there are others out there who know how bad RSL can be ..Many different treatments so take the time to read though the message board you will see that many people get relief with ALL sorts of ways. I would suggest you start with the Natural remedies first and hope you can get help with them because like you,I don't like to have to take perscribed med everyday..but that is something that I have had to do because everything I tried didn't work. Eventually the lack of sleep was a big problem so I had to get relief..
Good luck.
