Restless Feeling In Legs & Hands

[tinkerbell23]

... at night!

I am not even in bed yet and its starting in my hands... i could feel it in my feet on my way home!

I acquired some quinine sulphate to see if that helps i took it an hour ago!?

What the hecks causing it... its keeping me awake for hours on end?

Im really really thirsty aswell which is new (my blood sugar is fine and my urine is clear)

Any ideas? Its driving me MAD! .

Hiya Tikerbell, sounds to me as though you're over anxious about something and maybe out of your control... which leads to stress and an over imaginative imagination. sorry for the little help but my thoughts are with you... remain calm and relax...Breath...

I really appreciate your reply Ark!! I do have anxiety usually controlled by beta blockers... so i didnt think it was down to that! However a colleage did suggest the same thing!!

I was beginning to wonder if i had some imbalance... it really is awful!!

Thank you so much xx

Hi Tinkerbell
My anti depressants cause my restless legs
Also if I have a glass of wine ( any alcohol) it makes it worse
Never had it before the medication
It is very annoying some nights, so I feel for you.
Never heard of it in the hands though? Could be circulation, to do with beta blockers
Are you on any other medication?

I get this if I've had a stressful day and haven't really moved. Star jumps help, but equally, going on a long(ish) walk with the dog. Try some stretches, and do regular exercise :-)
