alcohol. But what increases? the pain or is it different for different people? Because

tonight i had one cup of Hypnotic only (17% alcohol). not even a full cup like more than

less than half of a cup and the rest was mixed with juice. But like 5 or 10 mins after i

didnt even drink the whole cup my legs were hurting horribly and my anxiety was up.

My legs were really really achey, like i had to move them around to try to relieve the pain,

as the alcohol wore off so did the pain, after about 15 minutes id say. So would this be

considered increased symptoms? Ive drank like 2 years ago and got really drunk but

never pain like that..

any info is appreciated... Thank You all

They called it Restless Leg Syndrome. But now that my wife has RLS I can tell you that what I get is so much worse.

You are probably on heavy antibiotics and if so the list of medicines and such that are contra-indicated are long.

And yes alcohol is on that list as are many sleep meds.

Some of my worst instances of these attacks is when I take Benadryl for allergy problems.

I don't know anything to do but just walk it off (even when walking is painful its better than trying to lay still while experiencing whole body contractions.)
