RESTLESS LEGS SYNDROME
PREVENTION |

Diet is key in preventing Restless Legs Syndrome. A
preventive diet will include an adequate intake of iron and the B
vitamins, especially B12 and folic acid. Strict vegetarians should
take vitamin supplements to obtain sufficient vitamin B12. Ferrous
gluconate may be easier on the digestive system than ferrous
sulfate, if iron supplements are prescribed. Some medications may
cause symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome. Patients should check with their doctor about
these possible side effects, especially if symptoms first occur
after starting a new medication. Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine use
should be minimized or eliminated. Even a hot bath before bed has
been shown to prevent symptoms for some sufferers. |
