I have to wonder.... pepper, if you take any magnesium supplements? They often work well for restless legs.

There is a lotion now, quite inexpensive that will help your muscles and nerves for the Restless Legs, and also help you sleep more naturally.

Morton Epsom Lotion:

This absorbs into the body when you rub it in and will relax muscles, and stop nerve pain, and help the body relax. I use it at night when I go to bed. Estimates are that up to 70% of people in the US are low in magnesium because they don't eat the foods commonly that provide it. Excessive use of caffeine, alcohol or diuretics also deplete this mineral, on top of the poor diet.

You can rub in a quarter's sized dollop in each calf... or if you want more systemic absorption, rub it into your wrists and inner arms (where the veins are close to the surface). I think this lotion is rather miraculous and can help many people avoid RX drugs for some ailments. I use it every night! Magnesium is very calming and settles down hyper nerve situations, nicely.
It also improves circulation to the legs and feet--so many of us on PN forum here use it for that.

(It is also available at WalMart (where I get mine) and online at Amazon.com )
