“I’m quite the carnivore so lots of meat. No link there.”
I don’t know a lot, but I know protein plays a part in muscles, I used to be an LMT full time and helped many people with similar muscle nerve type issues over decades.
I knew I read more recent about RLS and protein connection.
Maybe this will help you find a missing link for you or others? I don’t know how to post links well, its search results about which proteins have been found more helpful for RLS.
Also, Instead of more supplements, It seems helpful for anyone one healthy or not, to try to eat the foods with the nutrients rather than just eating what we feel like and hoping supplements (usually made in lab or other highly processed way) will be absorbed and some how help fix it.
I keep watching so many loved ones (family and friends) not want to eat more nutritious and instead eat lots of sugar, highly processed foods with names/chemicals you can’t pronounce, get all sorts of sick and die in recent years. some older some not so old. And a common theme is it didnt have to be so soon, or in some cases very obvious that their choices to keep eating unhealthy made their situation worse.
It’s inspiring me to eat real/more whole food, make more of my own meals rather than packaged/frozen/store made, grow what I can too. I wish I could have a cow or chickens like when I grew up, but can’t have those right now so buy best I can afford, and trying to eat more sardines and salmon for omegas.
Best to you all. And I hope some thing in my posts on this thread are helpful. I really liked helping people with massage therapy career over many decades and miss it, so I decided to chime in on this thread and add what little I know.
Yes Far infrared heat or newer red light therapy can be helpful. they sell online at home wraps, or as big as a sleeping bag for your whole body.
As can some cold therapies (Ice packs with like a T-shirt between it and you leg 12-20 minutes at a time not longer,
or Cold plunges - Ice water in a 5 gallon bucket in the tub and dunk your legs in and out.
the foot vibration as others mentioned, helpful too.
Massages do help, but as I always told clients a big part of it is what you do or don’t do to help it the other days between massages. They get expensive too!
Main thing is nutrients and water - those are what the body runs on AND can likely help balance out imbalances inside you, or maybe even help repair damaged tissues/nerves to some degree, though doctors won’t usually believe that’s possible.
God can do anything, but He hopes we will do our part while awaiting His.
Ok, thank you very much.
