I think I have clearly decided that CHOCOLATE (one of Gods most precious gifts to the human race!) aggravates my RLS. Mine has been well under control for about 4 days with minimal meds and TODAY I ATE SOME CHOCOLATE!! I grieve the loss of this luxury food item but the price is too high to pay!
I've tried to drop my chocolate intake. If it's any help... depending on when you have issues, you might find that you can have a little during your off-time. I tend to have a little chocolate early in the day, and it doesn't cause me problems. I don't quite have the chocolate tooth that many girls do, but I am quite fond of it, especially the dark stuff.
Luckily, like a pavlovian response, I don't really crave chocolate in the evenings anymore. My subconscious has worked out the cause+effect too well to allow that.
Disclaimer: I often talk about what I do and what works for me, but these are specific to me and you should always consult a healthcare professional before trying these things yourself, lest you endanger your health or life.
Shudder.
