I have had raging "jimmy legs" the last few weeks. My ankles and knees are achy, sore and just generally disgruntled. It wakes me up at night and ibuprofen and Aleve just take the edge off. I have upped my water consumption, I'm stretching at night and rolling my feet on tennis balls all day.

I've tried ice and heat and nothing makes it better. I can't stand it anymore.

I had my thyroid checked a few months ago to make sure my mental/weight issues weren't thyroid related. My mom and grandma both had RLS. I refuse to accept that. I'm only 29!

Maybe it's malaria.

Is RLS age related? I thought it was genetic and could present at any time? I have minor symptoms of it now and my mom has it pretty bad. I hope they come out with another drug for it whose side effects are the desire to have a bunch of sex and gamble irresponsibly. Remember that?

Sweet deal sex and gambling!

I think RLS is really genetic, and it is an indication of other medical issues.

I'm already freaking out about turning 30 so this is not helping. My mom will literally sit and stomp her legs. I'm fast approaching that.

Exercise helps a lot but when that fails super low dose clonazapam (sp?) helps a ton.
