Hi!
My brother gave me an article he got re: RLS. A device has which improves circulation by applying pressure is being tested The device which fits over the legs and inflates and deflates in quick succession compresses the veins, pushing the blood back to the heart. In a recent study, one out of three patients who wore the device had complete reief of symptoms. They also slept better, were less fatigued and had an improved quality of life.
Sincerely,
Carol Ann
RLS device

I have heard of this, a friend gave me a cut-out from a newspaper.

I imagine that this falls into the "I LOVE pressure on my legs" vs "I HATE pressure on my legs."
Those who like blankets piled high, wear pantyhose, etc. will probably benefit. Those of us who can't stand anything on our skin will probably not benefit.
