Restless leg syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else get this, particularly at night?

I don't get it all the time, thankfully. But when I do.... AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!! ! Goddamn!! It's my feet more than anything, so hot and any second they're still, even the air touching them drives me insane, so you can imagine the material of the bedding touching them... Almost like nails on a chalk board

Rarely these days. But I used to all the time. I would have to slide my legs up and down on the sheets, in a similar motion to jumping, for quite a long time. As much as my legs were extremely uncomfortable, after a while the motion became very soothing and it would help me fall asleep.
I used to shake my leg really heavily in general, in public, especially at the mental health clinic. I stopped doing that when someone told me it made me look like a tweaker. So even though it hurt to stop myself from shaking them, I did. I have to force myself to do it now otherwise I get really anxious and overwhelmed really fast.

I've always had plenty of nights where I wish I had detachable legs so that I could remove them and get to sleep. I don't have the tactile hypersensitivity mentioned in the first post, just an overpowering feeling that whatever position my legs are in, I desperately need to move them. It's not a feeling I can really describe or name - it's not an ache, itch, pain or anything else that there's an obvious word for. It affects me when I'm sitting sometimes too, though not as much as when I lie down to sleep.

I'm not sure if it's related, but pacing around (often on tiptoe) is one of my main stims, too.

The one thing that I find helps for me is to make sure that my legs get some exercise as often as I can. A brisk walk during the day, enough that my legs feel a bit tired afterwards, seems to calm it considerably. If restless legs are preventing me from sleeping, I find it helps to get out of bed and do some squatting exercises and leg stretches rather than lying there getting frustrated with it. At my age, I don't think I'll ever be completely rid of it, but these things make it more manageable for me.
