I’ve experienced restless legs after previous chemotherapy and the only suggested treatment was maximum doses of paracetamol and ibuprofen which didn’t work for me.
When I started chemo again the other day and the restlessness began my son suggested Magnesium chewable tablets 150mg with B6 1.5mg
They worked!
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
Thanks very much for taking the time to recommend to the group what you found helped with your restless legs. I assume that you checked with your team that it was okay to take these tablets while having chemotherapy as some supplements can interact with cancer treatments or lessen the effectiveness of them.
