Restless leg syndrome - any thoughts??

Hi, i believe i suffer from a mild form of RLS. It has recently became more common, with doctors saying that 1 in 12 people may suffer from this condition.

Also there are studies which may relate kidney function and iron deficiency as catalysts for this condition.

I am 29 and have diffuse hair loss in a Female pattern, could there possibly be any link between the two????

I have been on the top 6 for 4 months.

Thanks.

it's a very common sign of fluoride poisoning

Any ideas on the best way to control this condition?? and obviously i would be welcome to any improvement in my hair !!!

Coco-

It's more likely a Magnesium deficiency. Start soaking in magnesium chloride for optimal absorption to get you mag levels where they should be. BTW, flouride robs the body of magnesium, so it could be related.

Prague - Great info, thanks!

coco - Are you presently taking any iodine or selenium?

i used to get this often at sleep times - very infrequent now under Magnesium therapy. so +1 for Mg

Hi CS....

Im not currently taking:

Curcumin
Krill Oil
D3 & K2
Fibroboost
Lipoic Acid Na-Rala
Biotin

Thanks

Sorry that should have said

Doh!!!

FYI--I had restless legs until I realized I had developed varicose veins in my legs. I had laser surgery to correct that (they basically kill the veins with a laser) and since the procedure, I no longer have restless legs like I did.

I used to go to bed at night and literally shake my legs while laying down before I could fall asleep.

CS...

Should i be taking Iodine and Selenium?

Could i possibly be Hypothyroid??

coco - Yes, quite possible. Try out the Broda Barnes test at home.

Ok...i don't know much about this test, but i will search the Forum to find out.

Also as the other member suggested - should i be supplementing magnesium???

Thanks

coco - Dr. Broda Barnes, a physician way ahead of his time, found over 50 years ago that the body basal temperature was a good indicator of thyroid activity, in particular, the body temperature on arising from sleep. He wrote a book about thyroid activity and the various ills and problems arising from low (hypo) thyroid activity.

Testing Thyroid Activity

At night, shake down a thermometer - be sure that it is shaken down and below 95 degrees. Next morning, on awakening, put the thermometer under your arm with the bulb in the armpit with no clothing between it and the armpit. Leave it there for 10 minutes (use snooze alarm if you wake up to an alarm). Just drowse for that time lying still.

After 10 minutes, take the thermometer out and read it, writing down the result right away. (On waking, most people don't think clearly and might forget the reading). This is known as your Early AM Basal Temperature and the "normal" should be between 97.8 and 98.2. This reading taken by armpit is somewhat lower and somewhat more accurate than by mouth. If you have a low-grade infection this may read higher than your "normal", therefore if it is in that range above, you should repeat the above procedure every other day for a week or so. If a menstruating female, also do it on the 2nd and 3rd day of your period.

If lower than the range, you are probably hypothyroid and if higher, then you are probably either hyperthyroid or you may have an infection somewhere.

Thanks CS,

Is it ok to use a digital thermometer?

Also i have read other posts and i do have old mercury fillings and a root canal...could this be causing an infection??

If so, how do i correct this??

coco - Besides being thyroid suppressive, a root canal releases a steady stream of anaerobic bacteria into the bloodstream.

Here's more info:

How do i check for heavy metals? Is it a simple urine test? Or does the urine need to be professionally screened??

Thanks for your input, though you have got me worried about my RC and fillings.lol!!
