Compression Socks
Hi. I have recently discovered that compression socks provide me with instant relief of RLS!
Re: Compression Socks
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.
Blessings,
Holland

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

Re: Compression Socks
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.

Re: Compression Socks
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.
