I have suffered on and off with RLS which started during my pregnancy, which was 17 years ago, to the present. I tend to go through cycles of when I have it and when I don’t. When I do have RLS, it only occurs in the evening, like watching TV and going to bed. Back when I was pregnant eating raisins helped but not any more.
I searched high and low on the internet for SOMETHING to help relieve my constant and annoying urge to flex and move my legs. Then one day, I read on a forum, that applying Evening Primrose oil topically stops the urge. Even though I am the skeptic that I am, I figured what the heck. I happened to have some Evening Primrose oil capsules on hand, so I took a needle, popped a hole, squeezed out the oil and applied it to the back of my legs (1–2 capsules, mostly mid thigh and down to the calves, that’s where I feel the urge most).
Well low and behold, much to my surprise, within 20 minutes or much less, it actually worked. Now I’m not saying this will work for others because everyone is different but it sure worked for me. I’d say it’s worth a shot.
By the way, ingesting the Evening Primrose oil capsules, even though “it does a body good”, didn’t seem to relieve my RLS. It only worked topically.
You can buy Evening Primrose oil in bottle form but it can be hard to find and it can be expensive. Not saying capsules are cheap either. But it’s easily found in capsule form. I hope this remedy will help others. Good Luck!
