Reply to ctravel

This is a reply to ctravel's response down below. I'd like to tell you that I get RLS in my arms too. The doctor once told me that RLS is an all over disease. It's not just your legs that it can effect but they just call it "Restless Legs" syndrome. I guess it's better than "All over ...

Interesting connection

I started getting severe RLS symptoms about 4 years ago and I've noticed that ever since this I've had migraines! It's so weird because I don't remember having them before. Only one time when I was younger do I remember having one and getting sick one early morning. So this is interesting that they ...

Good for you

Glad you are caffeine free! That's great. I have to stay away from the stuff or my RLS goes haywire. I was addicted to drinking hot teas a few years ago and even if I drank one that had a lot of caffeine in it early in the day I'd still have problems all night and early morning the next day. I guess...

Tried it again

Okay I wanted to try the Magnilife RLS pills again just to see if it was a coincidence that I had the headache and the wheezing and it was. I took a third pill and didn't have any side effects. It calmed my legs down beautifully and I was able to fall asleep fast. I woke up 5 hours later and let me ...

Splenda is horrible

I am so mad at the companies pushing these artificial sweeteners. They are CRAP. It's better to eat sugar than eating those chemicals. They actually mess up your thymus gland to where you get sick more often. It eats away at it from what I've read. This lowers your immune system. It's not healthy to...

I feel for you

Hi Kirk, I feel so badly for you and your post even brought me to tears. I can sympathize with you. We don't wish to have this disease or anybody else to get it, but yet we are stuck with it and have to live with it. It's horrible. I'm so sorry that she had a lack of understanding and got pissed at ...

Sounds like me

It's so weird, but I never associated RLS with Restless Jaw and I do have a restless jaw. I'm constantly grinding my teeth in my sleep. I really think there is something to that. When I have a bad case of RLS all my nerves and muscles go haywire everywhere. Not only do I get restless legs, but overa...

The mind is very powerful

RLS is definitely psychological as well as physical. If I worry about getting an attack it will likely bring one on. That aside, if I am upset, worried about anything or anxious about anything that will bring on a bad case of RLS also. My upstairs neighbor used to be really loud and give me such bad...

Magnilife didn't work for me

For me it had horrible side effects but other than this it really did calm my legs down. I think a person should be fairly healthy before using this product. I read that it has a poison in it and that concerned me. I know it's a low amount but it's still really scary putting a poison in my body. My ...
