Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hi. I have recently discovered that compression socks provide me with instant relief of RLS!

I'm glad for you, they didn't help me much. I also tried vibrating pillow (helped a bit) and vibrating calf wraps (also provided a little relief). If you are able to do ok without medicine, you are very lucky, and stay off medicine as long as possible.

Over the years, many people have said they help. It's always a great thing to try before you get to drugs! And iron .

I wear them to work but they don't help my RLS couldn't be that easy for me

This, again, illustrates to me that there are very, very likely to be "types" of RLS. We just need to identify them so that treatment becomes much easier to tailor to people.

We are so different in what helps us and what does not - for example, I absolutely could not bear to wear anything restricting like compression socks. On one occasion I wore flight socks and hauled them off before evening getting out of the terminal or near the aircraft.
