My husband kicking is getting so bad. He has Neuropathy. Does anyone have ways to help him (and I) sleep at night without making him go to the couch. When he is cold he has a heated blanket with helps some nights but not most. Help please!!!!!!!!

Has your husband ever been evaluated for RLS (restless leg syndrome)?  If he has the symptoms of RLS, he may be helped by a glass of tonic water before bed or if it's really bad (like mine is), I take Requip before bed and the kicking is gone.  I was almost banished to the couch myself before I started taking Requip.  Def. check with his doctor.

I really don't have an answer either.  My husband has neuropathy as well and I have taken over the couch to sleep at night. Can't stand the restlessness as I have to work.  Good luck with that one.   :cuddle;
