Please share your experiences, successes, and failures in using non-drug therapies for RLS/WED (methods of relief that don't involve swallowing or injecting anything), including compression, heat, light, stretches, acupuncture, etc. Also under this heading, medical interventions that don't involve the administration of a medicine to the body (eg. varicose-vein operations, deep-brain stimulation).

I received a message here from a person telling me they used something called the RLS Band. They suggested that it works and takes away all the symptoms for then if they wear this pair of bands on their ankles. Apparently they saw me on Facebook. Anybody tried these? Was there problems with the process--like a scam or anything? I don't expect it to do anything, but I like to know about everything, and quite frankly it doesn't matter to me what the stuff is--psychosomatic fixes etc. --if it does work and the symptoms go away i'd loose the pride and use the product!
Thanks, no need on my part for you to do anything, I was just commenting in case anyone else has the same message come in--the person wanted me to pass on the bands to other rls/wed folks. They should have asked me via fb, if they wanted me to take them seriously.
Thanks anyway. I is nice to have the feedback/ support.

She did not get names or emails from the facebook page. That is an impossibility for at least some of the names she used and is therefore a lie. Let's give this person no more of our time.
