Yet Another New Symptom

I think I have restless legs syndrome! That's ALL I need, to add to the list of symptoms of my panic disorder. My legs simply cannot stay still and they ache and feel as though they're pulsating.

Now, I am panicking that maybe I have blood clots forming! I do work out and exercise and I do have some arthritis in my legs, but the working out was making them feel much better.

Why now??????

Here's a cheap possible fix for you. put a bar of ivory (must be ivory) soap at the foot of your bed under the fitted sheet. No idea why it works for majority of people...it sure does for me.

I thought the idea was insane but for 69 cents decided to try it and it has worked.

I just didn't want to add another med to my life!

good luck

Also, keep hydrated.
Mild dehydration can create the muscle cramps in the legs that show up when you are resting.

Do some simple moves to help release the tensed muscles before laying down as well.

Hope this helps.

Believe me, very well hydrated. Keep a tall tumbler of decaf iced tea by my bedside at night and if I run out, I fill it up! Thanx for the responses, very much appreciated.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
