I'm a 51 year old man and have had Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) for 10 years and in my arms as well on occasion. I've read and surfed the web like you, heard of all the crazy RLS cure ideas but what I found out that works for me was when I stopped all caffeine intake and most sugar intake for just one day and that night, zero RLS.
If you can't do without caffeine and sugar, try the herb Kratom. You can buy it online at a hundred different U.S. websites and it's 100% legal. Kratom has some of the same alkaloids as opiates but not the same effect. It's a nice calming feeling but it also calms RLS. If you ever had a pain med prescription, you might have noticed your RLS had also disappeared. Kratom is a way of getting the alkaloids without the real opiates or need for prescription. Kratom is completely safe, overdoses are impossible but do your own homework to verify my words. Hope this helps.

PLEASE READ! I have suffered from RLS for many years. The last 10 years I have been on meds for RLS. After a sleep study showed that I had a moderate to severe case of RLS, I was put on Mirapex. I started on a low dose, but as time went by, I would have to increase the dose for it to be effective. I have lots of side effects from taking a dopamine including extreme day time sleepiness, weight gain and addictive habits. At the beginning of 2018, I decided I was going to wean myself off of Mirapex! I read horror stories about this process, but I was determined to do it. It was horrible, but, with the help of Percocet, I was able to get off of Mirapex. However, the RLS appeared to get even worse. I was not sleeping unless I took Percocet. I was miserable. I went to my family doctor, then a Neurologist. After trying another five different meds for RLS, I knew I had to find something different to could control my RLS.
