Epsom salt baths (20 minute soak) is great for magnesium too

And coconut water is much better than bananas (as in amount of potassium) for safely increasing potassium, they do a chocolate flavour coconut water, delish !

I LOVE coconut paste that we put into curries, usually we buy tins in bulk.  I also love coconut 'milk' from the centre of the nut, however, not all nuts have it - it depends on the age.  Anyone tried to win a coconut at the Fair ?  Years ago they were stuck onto the stocks so however hard one hit them, they never fell  . Now they can be purchased from the Markets we often buy them. 

Maybe a banana mashed in coconut milk .........

[Annie0710]

It should be coconut 'water' not milk

As I'm dairy free, my go to alternatives are all coconut based as I detest soya. I use fresh coconut milk for cooking or a nice hot chocolate, along with tinned for curries etc.

Might try the chocolate coconut water though. I've had coconut water in the Caribbean, without rum or pineapple & it tasted awful.

[Annie0710]

Cubagirl I agree but the chocolate flavour is lush or mix coconut water with fresh orange, that tastes nice.  Seriously you'll get plenty of potsssium with coconut water x
Think vita coco or something is the make.  Pricey but good stuff x

[cubagirl]

OOh like the sound of it with orange.  Thanks Annie.

We've always called it 'milk'

Did anyone watch the programme on Channel 5 in the week, I can't get it on catch up 

[cubagirl]

Yes, pretty extreme cases, especially one guy who had PLM, which I'd never heard of.

Great reading all your remedies for Restless Legs. I too have tried the soap under the sheet but for cramps. Might give it another go as last night was not a good one what with getting up to pee far too often and then the legs moving about it was not a very peaceful night.

Periodic limb movement CLKD. His night time experiences were pretty violent. He moved violently in bed, breaking toes etc.

My dad had that as part of his restless leg syndrome. Used to drive my mum mad as she was frequently badly bruised on her legs as he kicked out really violently while asleep. Apparently 80% of RLS sufferers also have the periodic limb movements http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Restless-leg-syndrome/Pages/Symptoms.aspx
