I think you are right when you say "Partly". I have had Restless Leg  
Syndrome for at least 7 years.  This is not the same as leg cramps.   
They happen after I have begun relaxing to sleep, and my brain has  
quieted to a point where I can sleep, and then they start.  It feels  
as if there is something crawling up my veins from my feet up to my  
hips.  After it reaches my hips, there is a violent jerk that I can't  
control.  Since I am about half asleep, they shake me into  
wakefulness.  There is an interval of about 15-30 seconds before the  
next one begins, and sometimes I am not conscious during that  
interval.  
 
I did some research a while back. At that point, the medical  
community had found no cause nor cure for this.  The only treatment  
was taking sleeping pills.  (Nothing to fight the cause, just the  
symptoms.) I didn't want to take sleeping pills, so I tried every  
painkiller on the market.  I have also tried potassium, but that  
didn't seem to help.  I believe it helps with cramps, but not with  
the restless leg syndrome.  I will go look later and see if there is  
anything new on this.
 
Since I became interested in K and found this list, I have changed my  
attempts at handling this.  Instead of taking a painkiller, I do  
Reiki while relaxing and surrendering to the flow of the energy up my  
legs.  I don't try to stop the jerks anymore.  Since I've been doing  
this, the episodes only seem to last for 5 or 10 minutes before I am  
asleep.  In the past, I would be in a state of half-sleep for what  
seemed like hours, constantly being jerked awake again.  I have these  
2 or 3 nights in a row, around once a month or so.
 
I will let you know if I find anything new about this in the medical  
sites.  I appreciate any feedback from you all!
 
Thank you all for your postings!  I am learning so much!
