Thank you .

Nil,

I've recently done a good bit of research on sleep disorders -- not

the usual type disorders/treatment regarding sleep hygiene, but

those involving neurological syndromes, as well. If you go to this

link, there many pages/links to help explain how some of these very

well happen.

http://www.about-sleep-disorders.com/

Probably basic to these problems is a " hyperarousal " of the patient

throughout the night that causes various sleep problems, causes the

stress hormone cortisol to be an ongoing problem not allowing the

patient to relax and sleep. There are tests and treatments for

these. If you are interested in a " ton " of links to various aspects

of this, please post and let me know. I can send them to you.

Nil,

If it is a matter of hyperarousal, then using tryptophan should help.

Hi Nil,

Magnesium injections cleared up most of my restless

legs but I developed a more severe jerking/electrical

jolting version after an accident. I'm taking Baclofen

now which does help.

A while back I mentioned to an Immunologist that my

Mother felt that Gin & Tonics (alcoholic drink) helped

her restless legs. He said that this was due to the

Quinine and he prescribed Quinine to his patients.

Someone posted to a UK list to say that they had used

Quinine Sulphate for a month and had great relief.

Hope that this helps your friend.

With warmest regards,

Annette
