Suffering From Restless Leg Syndrome?

It's a little bit off topic.....nothing to do with dental but I thought I'd throw this out there for discussion since I'm having such a problem with it lately!
It seems the more exercise I get, the worse the attack of restless legs, even though some professionals suggest exercise as a treatment. It's also intermittent, some days ( or nights) seem worse than others and sometimes I don't have it at all, so it's impossible to predict the onset of an attack and it seems to creep up when you least expect it. There is a new drug available for it, but it comes with a myriad of side effects, so it isn't an option, at least not for me. Is there anyone out there who has had other limbs affected by this, such as the arms? Does anyone know of a homeopathic or alternative type of treatment? It seems I'm affected more as I get older.
