Restless Leg Syndrome
Anyone have this? I only notice it in myself when I'm laying down at night, and i feel this weird tugging kind of feeling in my lower legs. normally, they spasm a little on their own when i'm really freakin' tired...and if i try to hold them still on my own, the tugging feeling gets worse and my legs eventually violently spasm. The pain/tugging feeling seems to be best kept at by if i wiggle my toes or ankles around on occasion.
It never causes me insomnia, and I never wake up in the middle of the night with the twitching/kicking sensation. but it's really fucking annoying!
Do you take a multivitamin? Is it tailored for Men in that it lacks iron?
I get it often when I drink several nights in a row. Makes me want to punch shit.

you know, i used to have anemia as a child; but "grew out of it". (aka i haven't had a problem w/ it since i was like 4 yrs old).
every time i donate blood, i'm allowed to (i.e. i don't have a low iron count). i'm going to donate blood again this friday, so we'll see what they say when they do the iron test.
even right now my left leg in my shin/calf area feels so fucking odd...like i have to keep rolling my ankle otherwise i get a random violent spasm. ugh.
and i only take multivitamins on rare occasions in the morning if/when i remember to take them.

The worst thing to do is try to keep them still, that just makes it so much worse.
I always get up and do some stretches... I find that it alleviates a lot of the restlessness. If it lasts for too long, I will pop a couple advil and either that makes me sleepy enough that I pass out regardless, or it alleviates the restlessness. I can't tell.
I also get restlessness in my arms sometimes. I think that's worse than in the legs... it drives me bonkers.

I get it kinda frequently.. mainly at night if I'm laying watching something or if I'm baked.

I totally read that like that you get it when you are naked.

I've had some nasty leg shakies as a side effect to certain drug use. In the arms, it drives me insane. The only cure I know of that works is painkillers.
