Check Iron: In many cases, RLS is associated with an iron deficiency. If the iron deficiency is treated, the RLS symptoms will improve or, sometimes, resolve completely.

RLS remedies: No one thing works for everyone. Prescription medications, including Pramipexole and ropinirole, are effective for most people without side effects. Other things that may help include: exercising the legs or soaking in a hot bath before bedtime; magnesium supplements, or attaching a small vibrator to the ankle at bedtime.
