Just wondering if this is normal or… anyway i have been waking up early these days and simeltaniously (sp?) as i wake up my leg kicks like a spasm (sp again?)anyway it feels weird i have no control over it becuase its so quick its like nsync with when i wake up and i have kicked the wall before(dont worry no damage to the wall) and it does hurt sorely:( (duh) any suggestions?
Here’s my post from another thread describing different symptoms of the same malady:
Sounds like you’ve got what they call restless leg syndrome. I used to work at a since-defunct ad agency that handled a product for RLS, nighttime leg cramps and such. Apparently it’s a VERY common problem particularly as one ages.
The product was called Q-vel (I think); there were (are?) others w/ similar active ingredients. It contained Quinine Sulfate and Vitamin E.
To be perfectly honest, I got the impression that the effectiveness of the product was suspect – just a few suspect and dubious trials to back up the product claims. Hey, but that was over 15 years ago.
Quinine is supposed to be effective in preventing leg cramps at night. I never heard of it being used for RLS.
My ex had Restless Leg Syndrome. She would walk away for days at a time.
