My wife has it. But it's not just her leg. It's the whole side of her body.

things we have learned about it:

1) stress and alcohol make it worse.

2) vitamin treatment helps lessen it: supplements of calcium-magnesium, B-multi, selenium, cod liver oil for omega 3 (2000 mg a day) - it takes about 3 weeks of taking it daily for it to work.

3) valarian (the good stuff that's bought online, here: http://www.viridian-nutrition.com/home.aspx - we use the double strength organic capsules 400mg per capsule) works at night

4) if it's during the day I give her a 10 drops of Jamacian Dogwood, half a dropper of hops and half a dropper of passion flower tincture. again they have to be organic and high quality. We've tried taking the cheaper route with herbs, but if you are using them medicinally, the quality, purity and strength is really important. I get mine here: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Herb-Pharm-Jamacian-Dogwood-oz/dp/B000155VU8/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1310824362&sr=1-1"]Amazon.com: Jamacian Dogwood 1 oz.: Health & Personal Care[/ame]

If you *do* take jamacian dogwood, please be very careful with it. it's a neurotoxic substance. in large quantities it was used to stun fish in pools so people could just pick the fish up. But in very small quanities (5-10 drops in water when affected, no more than twice a day and for no more than two weeks if used every day) it's incredibley useful for her restless leg syndrome. Combined with hops (sedative) and passion flower (anti depressant, not like st.johns wort as that's a stimulant anti-depressant. this is more like a mono-amine-oxidase-inhibitor kind) it works amazingly well to reduce her stress levels and sooth her nerves that are working overtime.
