I have had RLS for a few years. It is not severe, just annoying. I also have developed neuropathy in my lower legs. While looking for help on neuropathy I found a Youtube video on a possible help if not a cure.
I've been on it for a month and have had no change in that. However, I noticed after a couple of weeks that my RLS was 99% gone. The regimen involves red light therapy and a few supplements.

Here's the list:
600 mg N-Acetyll L-Cysteine twice a day on empty stomach.
1000 mg Acetyl L-Carnitine twice a day on empty stomach.
600 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid
600 mg Benfotiamine with food
2000 mg Omega3 twice a day
400 mg Magnesium Glycinate with food
5000 iu D3+K2
5000 mcg B12

Don't know if only one or two of these helped or if they're all needed. I have no idea if this will help anyone else but if it does let's pass it around. And let me know if it works.
I got the red light on Amazon for under $40. Supplements from Amazon, too. I'm not affiliated with the guy in the video, nor did I buy anything from him.

Good luck, hope this helps someone.

#13: "Related to PDQ."

Yes indeed. Very similar to KMRIA.

I have a dedicated rubber scraper that I use as a reach extender when applying something in a hard-to-reach spot like between my shoulder blades.

Hubby and I swear by DMSO ... he uses it on his back ... I use it, occasionally for a sore muscle/joint or burn.

300mg of Gabapentin erases my RLS.

Now, find what causes my morning’s long length polyneuropathy or vestibular migraine in my torso...

[TangoLimaSierra]

Will do.

Morgan Freeman would check the keywords.

RLS = restless leg syndrome. Acetyl L-Carnitine is sometimes also suggested for other ailments of seniors, including cataracts.

I did write proteins. I meant the various specific proteins, not meaning the macro nutrient general grab bag.

You may have noticed another comment I posted had article link for search of the types of proteins that have been found helpful for RLS or at least studied for it.

I agree, everything seems to be adding “protein” so they can try to sell more of their stuff to those still in the learning curve that not all protein is the same and certain proteins help certain things, or at times can be too much and hinder others.

“”Hubby and I swear by DMSO””

I’m going to have to try it again. ANYTHING that will work on foot neuropathy. I remember a feeling of heat from it years ago...not uncomfortable but warm.... Thanks.
