Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi, In my daily newspaper a medical doctor writes a column on health. He often mentions how a bar of soap under the bottom sheet near the feet controls restless legs. Many people have written to him saying it works wonders. No one, not even the doctor, can explain why it works. AJS wiseandra wrote: > I also have periodic limb movement in sleep. I don't use any > medications for it.
