I started this blog in November 2008, with the single purpose of telling people my Restless Legs treatment. And I have not published since then until today. My remedy was to wear shoes with great arch support for the entire day, until bed. I was astonished that it worked, and had to tell others about it.
Since that time, I have not had a problem with RLS, until a couple weeks ago, when it started kicking in anew. I let it assault my sleeping for a week, until I realized that, DUH!, I’d just recently been getting lazy about wearing the right shoes, and wearing them often. I’d gone back to walking around the house barefoot, letting my arch support wear out in old shoes, and wearing sandals often now that summer is here.
So, a week ago I went down to the store and bought some great arch supports and put them into my worn out tennis shoes. I could tell I needed them, since my feet were a bit sore at first. The first day that I wore them for the entire day, I had markedly less problems that night in bed. And it’s gotten better each day now.
