... cutting out nightshade plants - the most common of these are potatoes, tomatoes, peppers etc, its been hard, but since trying the "experiment" it seems to really help, and I am having better sleep ... saying this, I do also have fibromyalgia.

Hiya

After a bad night of twitching etc, I looked on the internet for herbs that might help.

I made a tea from cinnamon, camomile, and ginger (two different tea bags and two cinnamon capsules) and it really helped me!!! I have not slept better!!!

hey I did an experiment earlier, and i noticed that if i cut as much sugar out of my diet as possible, the restless legs eases considerably. I had a bit of a sugar fest yesterday, and worried that i would be 'dancing' all night, I had some cinnamon tea. (cherry and cinnamon). Cinnamon regulates the ...

the medication i have is called Mebeverine, and i get it on prescription from my doctor - i dont know if you can get it over the counter, but there is another medication which you CAN buy over the counter called Buscopan which kinda help, but not as much as the mebeverine.

well, for me anyway. I have been diagnosed as having IBS, and as such, have some medication for this, which i can take as and when. Basically, I have noticed, that when I DONT take this medicine three times a day, I shake and jerk at night. If I DO take the medication, then, although i do still jerk...

Ive got some magnesium to help with my asthma, but have seen on the label it says "magnesium also plays a role in muscle contractions and nerve impulses". Im taking 250mg I found in a health food shop, and when I take it, I dont seem to 'dance' all night!!! Hopefully, it might help some of...

i was just about to start a new thread about this when i saw this one!!! Ive started trying some leg and back stretching exercises before i get into bed - and it has helped incredibly!!!! Basically, i do basic stretches - stand on one leg, while holding the 'ankle' or whatever you can get hold of of...

that on days that i wear my knee high boots, i tend to get restless legs - or feelings in my legs at night that i need to move them, twitching and crawling things. on the days that i dont wear my boots - i dont tend to get it ... although i have only recently noticed this and have worn my boots toda...

It only happens at night, and keeps me awake. sometimes when ...

Ive not been diagnosed with it yet - i havent seen a doc about it yet but will mention it in a few days time. I not only have it in my legs, but sometimes all over, my whole body feels like its shaking, and its very very scary.

Anyway, does anyone else have not just their legs 'shaking', but feels like the whole body?? that happened to me last night - it felt like lots of times that my whole body was shaking, and...
