Sitting for long periods of time can be a problem if you have RLS. Traveling by plane is therefore something for some fellow sufferers to dread. I wrote before about driving with restless legs. Short rides may not be so bad. However, if you’re on the road longer, you’ll probably need a few extra breaks … Read more
I know from fellow sufferers that, in addition to RLS, they often have to deal with extreme heat in their legs and feet. This heat mainly occurs later in the day, although some suffer from it day and night. They can hardly tolerate clothes and socks at times when these are most likely to arise. … Read more
In recent years, several ‘solutions’ have been developed for people with restless legs. Relegs is one of them. I already wrote a blog about another product, the Release417. Maybe you’ve seen it. Several times I have read with fellow sufferers about their experience with Relegs. Some fellow sufferers ask questions about this on a peer … Read more

In this blog I tell a bit more about my recent experiences with the Release417. The creator and owner of this fabric strap gave me the opportunity to test one. I was happy with that, because the release band is temporarily not for sale due to circumstances and I also have a very tight budget … Read more
I was advised by a fellow sufferer to try light compression stockings at night. I thought this wouldn’t really suit me, because my legs and feet get very hot at night. Even in the middle of winter I sleep with bare legs and without socks. The fellow sufferer told me she had a solution for … Read more
Acupuncture can help with a variety of conditions. Someone has advised me to try this therapy myself because of my restless legs. Personally, I can’t afford to do something like this on a regular basis. This doesn’t stop me from delving into the topic. Maybe I change my mind along the way and still choose … Read more
