Massagers and the like
Massagers and the like
I use a Homedics hand held massager to help relieve the restlessness. The problem is, it's not intended for how I use it. I put it under a pillow and lay my legs on top of it. It gets hot very quickly so I can only use it for short periods of time. I actually burned my first one up, not knowing how hot it gets. The hard plastic melted right through my pillow and I wole up to a horrible stink and soon to be fire! What a dumb head. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any massage/vibrating devices that are flat or perhaps that I could wrap around my legs at night.
Thanks,

if you want to try
Sole here's another one of my mother's JUST TRY IT things.
She said if you are handing leg cramps you can slip a small, like hotel size, piece of soap under your sheets by your feet. She swears it works and yes she's done it.
I do wonder where she finds this stuff. I thought it was funny, but it is always worth the try.
Giggling,

I found a vibrating/heat pad at e-bay through the Target store. It is about 24"x12" and will vibrate 20 minutes then turn itself off. You can use the heat or not. I think I paid about $30 for it and sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I think it is what you are looking for. Just go to your search engine (I use Google) and type in "vibrate/heat pad".
Thanks for the most excellent direction, Ruby. I found a vibrating mat on Ebay that's 64 inches long and 20 some inches wide. There are quite a few of them. I can't wait for it to come.
Thank you again!
Thank you again!

Just a thought!
While enjoying this hilarious thread my eyes caught from Sole:
Yes, there are actually three words for it: Restless Leg Syndrome.
My wife has an adjustable motorized bed with both the upper and lower part vibrating separately. She insisted on my trying it but I could not tell the difference. I will again try it when I am having paresthesia, that will require some scheduling, though
Happy fidgeting to all!
Hey, is there a word for the need to move the legs?

Probably regret answering this,
Honestly, I did not actually think that it was my turn to be cute. However, those words occurred to me (I did not think of paresthesia as it is not often used on this board) as a snappy answer.
Could not even guess someone will take it as an insult. I thought we were all friends where a bit of kidding was allowed.
All right, I am here to help others as well as myself. So no more humor, even inadvertent humor, I promise.

Oh dear, Jumpy. I apologize. I forgot to mention that I LOVE a good smart alec!! One thing to know about me is that I swim in sarcasm, am rarely serious and am quite thick skinned. I would never have taken what you said as an insult. I took it just as you wrote...snappy! (must I say I'm kidding? that would kinda ruin the whole flavor of the reply.)
