Soap? Where did you find out about that, Diana?

I was curious, so I googled restless legs and soap. There are lots of sites listed, but I clicked in on this one:

I wish I could offer a solution, but have no experience whatsoever. Sounds like that soap idea works Diana....I read the link Judy posted. It can't be crazy if it works for others as well.

Tonic water may work, it is usually recommended for leg cramps because it has quinine in it. Gary can't eat bananas for his leg cramps so he drinks a small bottle of tonic water before bed when he is having trouble with cramps. It couldn't hurt to try it and see if it helps Sandy.

I heard about the soap in your bed thing from my daughter-in-law, Tammy. Her Dad swears by it and she also does it for Elijah because he has foot and leg cramps during the night.
I know that it sounds silly but it does seem to work for me. Last night when I was going to sleep my legs were bothering me so I hunted down my bar of soap.....it seems to get lost at the foot of the bed.....I rubbed my feet on it and promptly fell asleep. Sounds crazy!!!! |

Do you think that would work for sciatica?

I'll try soap, but mine's not just in bed. Sitting in meetings, I'm squirming because my legs are restless. People probably think I have hemorrhoids. I'll try tonic water.
