- didgeoridoo 8y ago> “Everyone’s legs feel restless now and then” Yes, and everyone feels sad now and then, so depression is a made-up problem too. I know Restless Legs Syndrome gets some laughs because it sounds like the name of some mid-90s jam band, but naming the condition really helps when you’re searching for solutions. It turns out that supplementing magnesium was sufficient to eliminate my RLS, but I probably never would have found this out if I had to search for “legs feel like they are being attacked by electric ants at 3 in the morning”.
