Wanted to say a big "thank you" to Misty Dawn for posting that comment about Ivory soap. after suffering from RLS off-and-on for nearly a decade (had been taking Lyrica and muscle-relaxers to help), literally nothing was working. I have a 10-month-old at home and need to be on top of my game; I was losing so much sleep that it was affecting my acuity and mood.
I've only had the bar of soap in the bed for 2 nights—but both nights I went to bed with active pre-tingles only to have everything totally quiet for bedtime. I'll report back after I have more time under my belt but my god... this could mean I can stop muscle-relaxers entirely. (I stopped Lyrica about a year ago and I'm SO glad I did; if you can avoid that drug please do so.)
