I don't claim to be a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but 7 years ago a doctor did suggest I try this...Take Magnesium in high doses with a small dose of B6 every day. I took 2000 mg of magnesium with 200 mg of B6, and after a few days my symptoms started disappearing until they were gone. I continued to take the above for a year or so (even in decreased doses) and finally stopped. But to this day if I ever notice the symptoms flaring, I take it again, and it wipes out the pain.

Get your magnesium checked
I used to grind my teeth and nothing helped. When I had a physical, a wonderful physician mentioned that a couple of my symptoms (including bruxism) sounded like a magnesium deficiency. After taking a supplement a couple of weeks, the grinding stopped and has never returned.
Calcium + magnesium and Vitamin D
Muscles require these nutrients. Essential for heart muscle. Fatigue and inadequate mineral intake especially if you're a soda pop/caffeine drinker and meat eater -- all deplete the bones of calcium and when that happens, the body takes what it needs from other sources.
Minimum daily requirement for women is 1200mg/day. Calcium ought to be in a citrate, maleate or asporotate form (higly absorbable). Excellent combination to help get good restful sleep without sleeping pills, etc. AND to combat restless legs.
