11. Magnesium spray helped my RLS

I was actually surprised when a friend gave me some magnesium spray to see if it helped my RLS. Magnesium supplements taken orally didn't help me at all, so I wasn't expecting the magnesium spray to work. I was shocked when I found that spraying the magnesium spray on my legs if I woke up with RLS actually helped me go back to sleep within 5-10 minutes.

People who don't suffer RLS don't understand how debilitating it can be. When I have a really bad bout I can be up literally all night, sometimes my legs bugging me so much I have to get up and do deep knee bends at 2:00 am.

The magnesium spray would get rid of the RLS sensation. It doesn't prevent my waking up with RLS, but it does help the RLS symptoms go away faster and get back to sleep.
