I've monitored my Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium for years. However, within the last couple of months, I started experiencing RLS on a regular basis. After doing some research, I realized I was neglecting another key electrolyte...Calcium. So I now monitor my Calcium intake (via food, not supplements) and my Iron intake (via food, not supplements) and had immediate and dramatic improvement. Definitely worth a try before resorting to prescriptions. Moral of the story, ensure you are getting ALL key electrolytes.

I follow jour advice and take magnesium, 500 mg and it helps miraculously. No more restless leg syndrome. Thank you very much.😃

Hey Neil , isn’t it the best feeling in the world when you finally find something that helps 😊. I’m so pleased the magnesium is helping you and the best bit is it’s a supplement and not another medication with harmful side effects 😃☺️. I might start taking some myself (I used to take magnesium years ago but stopped). I didn’t realise you were not taking anything at the moment, I thought you were taking Pregabalin & diazepam on days when you were really struggling ?? Fingers crossed you get to see the professor soon Keep going , take care of yourself, hi to Teresa , love Grace x 👍 Ps) loved seeing all the birds & squirrels in the video 🐿

I had restless leg syndrome. What I found that worked for me was to not eat sugar and to try and rid the body of unnecessary chemical exposure- this includes not eating foods that contain additives/chemicals. Sticking to a diet of fresh veggies and fruits (no sugar!) is what took care of it for me. Magnesium and ibuprofen helped too. Making sure one is well hydrated. Vitamin d supplement has never done anything for me, nor has most supplements, but everyone is different. Magnesium helps a lot. Epsom salt soaks (you get magnesium from doing this through your skin) in the bath help as well- and if not a full bath, then just a foot soak. Love the bird video montages. Lovely!

I use amitriptyline because I am hypersensitive to medication it knocks me out. All the symptoms you have described I have, but I think the doctors aren't listening because I haven't got the weakness in my legs and hands yet. However I feel that my weakness is in my middle back. The more I watch you the more it hits home. At the moment my side pains and shoulder blade pains are the worst. Watching you both is giving me the courage again to see my gp again. Take care to you both xx

Hi Neil. You look wonderful, I,'m so glad..just to share, when I stopped taking Gabapentin( also a gaba drug) I learned there is actually a withdrawl period (though doctors don't tell you that!) ..that withdrawl is due to a magnesium deficiency (!) that takes quite a while to replenish. The best I have found is Magnesium Taurate which binds mag to taurine. Taurine is an amino acid that helps calm the brain so the combo is wonderful. No rx is needed, it is at any health food store. Really helps sleep too. Also, calcium might prevent the mag from working as well since it stimulates nerves vs calming them like the mag..you might want to space them out to see how you do..much love to you both from Florida..

Hi Neil! So glad to hear that this is working for you🙏 Maybe you can get some peaceful nights sleep😊 Take care and keep us updated. Tell Theresa hello🤗 Bye for now💜

Dear Teresa, dear Neil, I am so glad for you Neil that you found sonething to help with the RLS!!!! So glad and wishing you more relief! I am taking 175 mg Pregabalin in the morning and 175 mg at night and it is helping with the neuropathic pain! I increased the dosage myself, cause I was is so much pain. Now I am better, it is still not "good" so to say, but it is better. Wishing you fun with birds and nature in your wonderful garden! Thinking of you, best regards Britta

Hi Neil and Teresa I loved this video, and I wish I could give it hundreds of likes 👍👍 I am glad that you took the lead in trying to find a treatment that can help you and you actually succeed. Stay well Neil and have a wonderful day

Great to see you guys. It's always nice when you get out to feed the birds. I know Cedric appreciates you. I am so glad you have found something that is helping your RLS!! Way to go,didn't realize you were off everything. Let's hope the Professor can get you a dx asap.

Hi Neil and Teresa. What a nice video. I love seeing all the cute little creatures in your garden. I’m very happy you’ve found something so simple that is helping you!

Hi Neil, glad to hear you found something to help! Very nice video, loved seeing the birds and squirrel.....and that you were feeling well enough to go feed them. Peace to you and your lovely wife

That's a good thing you've found and at one stage I used to take magnesium but I didn't have jumpy leg then but I stopped so worth a thought. I see my MS nurse about the 25th of this month and I'm seriously thinking about giving up my Aubagio modifying drug as I think my mobility has actually got worse since I've been on it. I used to be on pegabilin for years and didn't think it was making any difference so I went right the way up to the top dose and no change so gave it up and didn't even notice any change at all so all those years taking it what a waste. Same as had daily injections of copaxone and all that did was gave me site inflammation and itching and started to dip my flesh so that went. I'm just so fed up with drugs and I take so many its ridiculous I can't wait to have my nerve blocks for my back July 4th then unless a emergency comes in the next day the 5th I'm back in for gallbladder surgery got a bit going on at the moment and think my heads going to explode!! Take care my friend.

Neil, I really like your channel. I've been following your progress and I am glad that you are doing better. All the best.

So happy to hear you’ve found something that helps Neil! And it seemed to be a fairly simple solution too :) I know it’s you have many symptoms and this is only managing one, but it’s still a great step forward 😊 x

Hi Neil! You sound more positive about life, which is great. Magnesium, sodium and potassium are all neurotransmitters. Good advice taking these. Keep striving ahead

Love my magnesium tabs, B12 and magnesium oil rubbed into twitching limbs.

I've got my MRI scan tomorrow..I've been having the same problems for years..the doctors have made me feel like I'm making it up..finally a new young keen doctor seems to be helping..😊

I know this is a month old video but I thought I would let you know that I think the reason the calcium is mixed with the Magnesium is because the calcium helps to aide your body in absorbing the Magnesium. Also I don't know if it is available in the UK but here in the U.S. we have epsom salts for baths and also there is an Epsom salt/magnesium lotion which works in much the same way. I use the lotion at night when I am going to bed. Sometimes I can't lay still to save my life but since I started taking magnesium and sometimes using the epsom salts lotion I haven't had a problem. Hope you are still able to get good results with the magnesium supplements. Good day.

Hello Neil and Terisa. You both look great. I love Terisa's smiles!!! It always cheers me up. A very beautiful video Neil. I loved the birds and the little squirrel. Your yard is such a retreat. I'm glad you found some relief!!! My husband has that, and one night, I counted 100 kicks in an hour. We do not sleep together anymore 🐱. I really wish you would consider Ocrevus. It really is helping me. Also, I was diagnosed with epilepsy last Monday, and put on a new medication. I have been having seizures in my sleep that wake me up. We have also had so much rain, it is like a Monsoon. Take care, and God Bless you both. 💪💪🧡🧡

I have taken Calcium Magnesium x2 daily since I noticed I was getting Charlie Horses frequently, it made a huge difference for me, and I am glad to hear it has helped you too!

Ok I’m gonna try this, always worth a shot. Hope it will help with the cramps too. Glad it’s helped Neil 😃

It worked!!! thank you so much - blueberries, and brazil nuts (my high does magnesium)

I love this video; the music, the snap shots of the birds and squirrel off and on while you talk... nice! When you had your MRI’s did the lesions show on your back and neck? Or did they have to scan your head, too?

Hi Neil and Teresa. I take magnesium oxide 400mg daily. I still get the twitching when I lay down but just when I lay down. Weird. I’m so glad it’s working for you. I take so much meds it’s crazy.

Yep, I get that kick out feeling. Mostly in the morning.

I'm pleased you have found some form of treatment. I've tried all sorts. I often keep hubby awake as I'm so restless. Unless I take a strong doze of sleeping pills. And I only use them rarely as I don't wish to be dependant on those. How's your eyesight and balance doing?

thanks for your advice.

I like your assistant.

Hi Neil & Teresa 🖑😁 I'm going to try that. I get bad cramps and spasms. It's worth a try 😁 you look great, I'm glad your still getting around ok.. lyrica didn't do a thing for me, but make me hungry 24/7 now I take Gabapentin and 2 other things. But for sure I'm going to try these and see if it helps. Thanks for sharing 😁👍 Happy Father's Day ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

Restless leg Mine was bad til i found out i was diabetic and got on insulin. High sugar was doing it. I do vit D, magnesium, potassium, b-12 shots

Hi Neil, thanks for this. I’ve got symptoms very similar to the ones you described in your first video, I take magnesium citrate and it definitely helps. I just wondered if you’d ever tried CBD oil?

That’s great news I’m going to try this thanks again for Sharing your video 😀

Love you guys

Bless u guys 💪❤🌳 lovely video

My wife has severe rls, we tried magnesium pills and topical gel and was prescribed requip, unfortunately none of these would work for her. The only thing that stops the twitching is low dose of methadone

God bless you and your Partner 🙏

I have PLMD and RLS. It gets very bad. I also have polyneuropathy. I have been taking CBD/THC since I live in Oregon and it is legal. The Drs wanted me to take Gabapentin and amytryptaline. The neurologist said not to because I am already overweight and have fibromyalgia too. So I am already so foggy. I have had some trouble finding magnesium that doesn't upset my stomach. Perhaps I will try again.

Metatone tonic ... awesome for restless leg . 🙏🏽😊

I get the same mate. I tell people I’m doing my Jack Douglas (carry on films) impression.

Thanks I'll definitely try that too

Are you in Australia, England or where? Just curious. Oh, I'm in Florida.🙂

Rain everyday for months here in Indiana USA

Hi Neil & Teresa, I'm so pleased your off medication, I counted my meds with painkillers too and its about 27 pills a day I'm literally rattling but I dont feel any different, I stopped Pregabalin for afew months but felt abit jittery and the pain got worse so Ive started them again on full dose and must admit the dizziness went away. I'm having loads of probs with my eyes and slept for 2days solid cos I felt so exhausted and part of that thing us women get every month *the curse* 😂🤣 well its flippin knocking me out every month I'm like a sack of spuds I even fall asleep while people are talking to me or I'll wake up suddenly and shout a word of sentence out Dave kate & my mum are buzzing off me 😂 I have to keep checking my writing because I can't feel my fingers and I feel like Ash from the Evil Dead film were his hand wont do what he wants, I poked myself in the eye yesterday and about 10mins later I did it again, omg I had a cup of tea that my mum made and as we sat down I had a spasm in my and and I was like lightening cos I threw it halfway across the room Haha I'm using 2 hands now cos I poured it over myself yesterday, all over my neck chin and knees, I looked so attractive walking like the hunchback to get a towel and my 4 cats all followed me so I picked up Mia, the mother and she was so lovely purring her head off clinging to me and rubbing her head on me, my cats are psycho & I stupidly gave her a kiss which she loves but its scary for us! The bitch bit bloody nose and she only has one fang so omg it makes ya eyes water and she does it out of love but jeeez why my nose lol Back to meds cos I went off topic lol I was diagnosed with Restless leg syndrome about 3 yrs ago and no joke I even told my consultant this but the pain of the spasm and the toes and muscle going into spasm/cramp was so bad that I was jamming my foot into doorways and pressing till it hurt cos that took over for afew mins buy then I'd get it back so I bought a lump hammer and I sit and bang hell out the muscles in my ,legs, looks bloody crazy but while I'm whacking my legs it takes my mind off the twisting pain in my feet and knees. The consultant for RLS gave me.....Avorvastatin 20mg 1 a day and Carbamazepine 200mg slow release 4 a day but I'm also on Amitriptyline, propranolol, Zapain, Clonazepam, Sertraline, Ropinarole, omeprazole, ibuprofen, Pregabalin Metformin, Senna, salifix and Rebif injections 3 times a week AND I dont feel any bloody different cos apparently I should be like a zombie 😂🤣🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️ I've just counted its 36 pills a day and my nurse said I need them all and the consultant. Anyway I'm goin to make a cuppa oh and 6hrs I've had these headphones and on and didnt play anything, I'm such a div I dunno why I keep doin it 😂🤣 Talk soon say bye to Teresa for me 😊 I'll let ya know how I get on with these vitimins and thanks for the info Neil your a star Byeeeeeeeee 😘😘 xxx

Hi I would like to try Magnesium and vitamin D supplement to see how it goes would you like to give a go let’s keep in touch

Your accent sounds Nottingham..xx

You can at least walk. I wish I could.

That creepy feeling is horrible & unbearable without help. That rls is horrible. Medical cannabis helps.
