Comments on: A New, Effective Treatment for Restless Leg Syndrome: Orgasm http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2011/04/02/a-new-effective-treatment-for-restless-leg-syndrome-masturbation/ Quirky, funny, and surprising science news from the edge of the known universe. Fri, 25 May 2012 18:28:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Bryan http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2011/04/02/a-new-effective-treatment-for-restless-leg-syndrome-masturbation/comment-page-1/#comment-91397 Bryan Wed, 23 May 2012 12:19:00 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/?p=16901#comment-91397 I found this article by googling "nervous leg syndrome masturbation".  I started to get RLS around the age of 37. For some odd reason it only hits me if I go to bed, fall asleep, and then get woken up again shortly after falling asleep.  Example: I have just barely dozed off, only just a step into that dreamy sleepy place, when my wife (who doesn't even know I'm already asleep) asks me if I closed and locked the garage door, or something.  Bam.  I'm screwed (no pun intended.)  I would often lay in bed for hours twitching my legs and tossing and turning, fighting off the urge to get up and run a marathon.  My legs simply wouldn't relax. One such night I woke my wife up with all my twitching and tossing, and I was so unable to relax that I coaxed her into having sex.  She was perfectly willing, of course, and when we were done, I felt an immense sense of relaxation, peace, and relief.  After kissing her and thanking her and making sure she was satisfied, I fell asleep almost at once. About a week later, I was again fighting RLS but this time my wife was dead to the world, sawing logs right next to me.  After almost two hours of not being able to get to sleep, I grabbed a hand towel and masturbated.  Immediately after the orgasm was finished, I slipped into a peaceful, sweet, dreamy sleep.  The relief was profound, and it came instantly after the orgasm. My wife and I are very open about masturbation.  It's not something we both do often, but we both do it. Her bottom nightstand drawer is full of toys, and if she's in the mood and I'm not around, she'll make full use of them. So, the next morning I told her about what had happened the night before, and she expressed relief that I had found a solution.  She also told me I could have woken her up for sex and she would have been fine, but I would have felt selfish and self serving yanking her out of a deep slumber to satisfy my own needs. Three years later, I am still using this remedy as a relief for RSL.  Sometimes it's sex, sometimes it's masturbation.  Either way, RLS has totally ceased to cause me to loose sleep.  I got to wondering if I was the only person who knew about or used this remedy, so I googled it.  Turns out there have been scientific studies on the topic!  Glad to know others know about this as well.

It DOES help - unfortunately its a very temporary thing most of the time - sometimes only five or ten minutes of relief before it starts again. I always thought I had an over active sex drive but its definitely related to the RLS.

LOL I was in Rehab for opiate addiction. One of the more insidious withdraws comes in the form of Restless Leg Syndrome. Not just restless legs, I had the same sensation in my back and arms. I couldn't sleep at all until out of sheer frustration I tried to "relieve myself". I did and WHAMMO!, the sensations in my legs and arms went away but slowly came back after the endorphin's wore off, I suppose. It doesn't matter how you have the orgasm. All that matters is IF you have one.... and if you do it'll go away.... for a while. I actually figured this one out by myself. LOL I was in Rehab for opiate addiction.

So many of us, due to previous trauma, hold a lot of energy in the pelvic area, which can cause any number of problems. Massage in the entire pelvic region can relieve much, and I wonder if studies on massage techniques including the lower back, glutes, inner thighs, vagina, anus, and other groin musculature have shown any positive effects?

I have tried aspirin, anti-inflammatories, Chinese herbs, acupuncture, Miraprex, strenuous and mild leg exercises and orgasms and none of those work better than maybe a 10% improvement for 2-3 hours before the RLS comes back full force. I have been taking 300mg magnesium supplements with 2 Valerian Root tablets for natural drowsiness for the past 4 months before bed and have slept better than I ever have my whole life but even then it is maybe an 80% improvement for 6 hours. I also have noticed that when I go off refined carbs (breads, HFCS and sugars) completely and take the magnesium I sleep perfectly through the night for the entire 7-8 hours in bed. But I love the carbs too much to give them up forever and even a reduction to 10% of intake loses the benefit. In hopes of further improvement I plan to try taking more magnesium throughout the day and also upping my calcium and zinc intake to see if those help as well. Still I have been amazed with the improvements with magnesium alone. I’ve had severe RLS for most of my 43 years and agree it is torture.

My OB at Stanford told me to take either Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate before bed, and never take Calcium at the same time as newer research shows they both compete for the same cell receptor site. I had my magnesium level checked and, sure enough, it was very low, which in my case was caused by malabsorption in my intestines. After taking magnesium, it takes about 20 minutes for my RLS to go away. If you google "magnesium dopamine" you find that "dopamine is a magnesium-dependent neurotransmitter", so if you don't have enough magnesium you're not going to be able to make dopamine. Not that the suggestion in this article isn't a good (and fun) one to try, but I wonder if the people it didn't work for might have a magnesium deficiency? It would be interesting to find out what would happen if these same people first took magnesium and then gave masturbation another try....? My RLS started 8 years ago when I was pregnant. My OB at Stanford told me to take either Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate before bed, and never take Calcium at the same time as newer research shows they both compete for the same cell receptor site.

I'm 41 now and I can remember having it as a kid. It went away for years and re-appeared about 10 years ago. I discovered quite by accident (while awake, might as well do something!!!) that orgasm allowed me to go to sleep. As I am not a 24/7 sufferer, I now find masturbation does wonders! Not sure what I'm gonna do when I am much much older, but for now it works! I’ve had RLS for a number of years. I’m 41 now and I can remember having it as a kid.

I splash water on my forehead, behind my ears, neck, ankles, backs of my knees, wrists, insides of my elbows, and my solar plexus. Almost always works.

Is there something better than Mirapex?
