Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Some months ago I reported almost complete alleviation of my RLS symptoms by eating four ounces of raw broccoli for breakfast with oil and vinegar dressing. In order to achieve the desired result, in addition to eating the broccoli, I had to consume at least one glass of red wine every 24 hours and ...

Betty/WV, To answer your question: In recent years my suffering has been almost constant. I had taken to reading the morning newspaper walking around. I got a laptop computer so I could work standing up, at least some of the time. The only days I had some relief were those I was more physically acti...

My rls improvement has occurred in spite of no improvement with the anemia. BTW, I make no claim about whether rls is a circulatory issue. I'm not any more of a medical ...

I recently joined rls.org because I wanted to share what has been for me a complete relief of symptons for over 60 days. I have found that I can be symptom free if I eat 4 ounces of raw broccoli for breakfast every day. I know it seems unlikely that such a simple thing could make a big difference. I...
