I am needing help!

I have had a couple nights of Restless Leg Syndrome - very uncomfortable. I have had a "touch" of it since a car wreck, but nothing like these two nights.
I really do not want to go on any more medicine - can anyone give me suggestions for what I can do? Thanks so much!!

    Try magnesium. My husband use to get RLS and also severe charlie horses and magnesium worked awesome. We actually use a tropical magnesium oil. You rub in on your skin for 20 minutes and then wash it off. Taking magnesium orally upsets my stomach so that is why we use a tropical. Plus there is no side effects (like running to the bathroom) with the topical because you bypass the intestines.
