I've had restless legs most of my life -- not continuously but often enough that it affected my life. I've asked doctors about it and got various unhelpful answers: walk more, etc. That doesn't always provide relief. One day while I was browsing through an old cookbook I found a passage on potassium and lo and behold, there was the remedy for restless legs written in 1899. It said low potassium levels caused restless legs. I bought some over the counter potassium and tried it and it works -- every time! You can tell when you're going to have restless legs. Just take one potassium tablet and the restless legs syndrome stops within ten-twenty minutes. I consider it a miracle.
