Pickels for RLS

[foxgrove]

Oh absolutely!!  I've never met an opened pickle jar I didn't sample.. Today was another pickle day... family gathering... musta had them refill that pickle plate three times. 

dills, sweet&sour, bread&butter, spicy, etc etc etc... love my dills crispy but other than that, I'm an equal opportunity pickle napper.

Well, it's been 3, no 4, well however long it's been, I do know it's been one whole jar of pickles and I'll be starting to drink the juice tonight.

But, so far if I eat 2 pickles at night, and then eat 1 in the morning not only do my legs feel better and I sleep better for 24 hours, but my whole body feels better for 24 hours. I don't know how well it will work with just drinking the juice, as I'm thinking there is some nutrient or chemical in the cucumber that changes in the pickling process. If that's the case it will be more abundant in the pickle, but the juice will have a good bit. I'll let you know when I have sufficient data to say it's consistent.

Doig much better today.  I gotta say the pickles did the trick that first day... most certainly made a huge difference in my ability to get them to calm down and the pain was significantly less by the second day.  Yay pickles!!!  Test 1 successful and positive.

UPDATE: well after this much time here's where I am, I usually know by about 7pm if my legs will be hurting that night, if so I eat two or three spears, or a handful of sliced, and I'm good the rest of the night. As long as it's RLS, if it's fibro, that's a different story, but I can tell the difference. So if you haven't tried it yet, do so, it works.
