      Millions of people suffer from RLS, and as of now there is no known cause or cure.

      Some research strongly suggests that anemia may play a role in this disorder, and it is suggested that a person suffering from RLS have their iron levels checked.

    • 3

      A deficiency of magnesium may be involved; magnesium, along with calcium, help the muscles to relax.

      Homeopathic formulations that include quinine can help calm spasms. If your condition is severe, your doctor can prescribe 300 mg quinine tablets, which generally are inexpensive and effective.

      There are other prescription drugs available for RLS, but they tend to be more expensive and require nightly use. Quinine can be used as needed.

    • 6

      Pay attention to diet. Often sugar will aggravate symptoms, as will a lack of protein.
