MY CURE FOR RLS

Post a new topicby jnormous on Sun Mar 30, 2008 4:13 am


Ever since childhood I’ve been dealing with RLS. I found a cure after many sleeplessness years later.

Here’s my cure: before going to bed or after having the RLS symptoms keep me up, I run my feet under the cold water tap for about 20 seconds each foot while wriggling my toes to make sure the cold water circulates the entire foot. Then go sleep.

The medical reason: I apparently have low blood pressure or clotted blood that moves slower than usual – the RLS is caused by slow blood circulation in the feet and legs (or other parts), usually its worse at night (or more noticeable) – when the cold water hits your feet the blood vessels naturally contract forcing the blood to circulate.

Has worked every time, without fail, for many years. Try it and see if it works for you too.
