Dear Dr. SerVaas: I cannot ignore the many, many requests I continue to read in your Medical Mailbox for help with restless leg syndrome and leg cramps.

Dear Dr. SerVaas: After reading about vitamins and minerals for RLS in the Jan./Feb. 2004 "Medical Mailbox," my physician was going to write a prescription for B12 injections. The article, however, did not list the recommended dose.

Dear Dr. SerVaas: I am a board member of the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation, which means I suffer myself from this most troubling condition.

Dear Dr. SerVaas: In your Sept./Oct. issue, I saw a very interesting article about restless legs. I had trouble with that a long time. Then I read about taking 250 mg of magnesium every day. I started it right away and noticed results within a week. I am so thankful! I hope this helps other sufferers.

Diet: Sugar-free, high-protein diet that includes fava beans. Complete avoidance of caffeine. Green drink such as Green Magma or Kyo Greens, one tablespoon in juice.

Great news for the millions of sufferers whose legs kick at night. A recent issue of Neurology reports that the drug called Neurontin relieved symptoms of even severe restless legs syndrome, and with few side effects.

Dear Dr. SerVaas: I read the letter about restless legs by Judy Reader. We are not all alike when it comes to cures, but I rub my legs with Sports Cream, which I get at the Wal-Mart store. Massage well on the back of the thigh and calf of the leg, as well as the knee joint. It gives me almost instant relief, and I can sleep all the night long.

Dear Dr. SerVaas: I am having quite a lot of trouble with restless legs syndrome and am losing sleep. I believe it has been suggested that a mineral of some type might help.
