Do weighted blankets help with the restless leg syndrome side of fibromyalgia? Has anyone here tried one, and if so which brand is best?

I've been finding my restless legs getting worse. The sensation is mainly under my knees. It feels like they're on fire but also pins and needles, and the nerves just build until I have to shake my legs.

Sometimes my skin is so sensitive that my clothes hurt

Can I please call on your wealth of experience and knowledge when I ask you what natural supplements do you take? I already take magnesium, vit B & evening primrose but I am thinking more about exploring and trying others. I don't know if this is the best approach to take, but I reckon if anyone can/will give me honesty in their answers, it's all of you. Right now I am open to all suggestions about supplements (I shall be exploring therapies another time, fairy steps). Thank you x
