Re: Vicks Vapo-Rub on Soles of Feet
I read that about the man who rubbed the insoles of his wife's feet. I rub mine with generic Vicks, put on socks, then rub theragesic on my calves, being sure to massage the lower legs. I wear leg warmers. that usually stops the RLS so I can go to sleep for 2 or 3 hours.

Re: BEST MATTRESS FOR RLS

I go to bed and sometimes sleep for an hour or so. Then I wake up with restless legs so do this: (since the low-oxalate, no V8 or m...
