Has Anyone Else Found Their Restless Leg Syndrome Actually Gets Worse When They Fast?

I have been battling restless leg syndrome for over a decade now, and it usually stays manageable with magnesium and a strict stretching routine before bed. However, since I started experimenting with intermittent fasting to help with my energy levels, the crawling, electric sensation in my calves has become absolutely unbearable at night. It feels like my nervous system is firing off signals just to mock me right when I finally start to drift off. I’ve read a few conflicting articles about electrolyte imbalances being the culprit, but I wanted to reach out to this community to see if anyone else has noticed a direct link between their eating window and their RLS severity. Are we just trading one form of metabolic optimization for another, or is there a specific nutrient deficiency I’m overlooking? I would love to hear your personal experiences, especially if you have managed to juggle a specific diet without triggering these nocturnal fireworks. Is it worth the sacrifice, or should I just give up the fasting to save my sanity?
