She has been trialling Melatonin which has helped a little, although is now also complaining of migraines whilst the little legs are shacking.

I have had RLS for about three years. I first did not know what it was and called it "Running Legs", assuming it was due to poor circulation and lack of exercise. When I saw an ad on TV for Restless Legs Syndrome, I got excited just knowing that there was a name to it. But I did not want to take a pill. I started to excercise and researched possible alternative treatments for it. I found that when i took Calcium with Citrate and a Vitamin E capsule, the symptoms lessoned to the point that I could sleep. I still have some during the day when I sit for long periods of time, but if i take an afternoon walk, it helps.
