I feel like swarms of ants are crawling all over my leg when I try to sleep. What's happening to me? DR MARTIN SCURR has the troubling answer

Daily Mail​12-05-2025
When I try to sleep my lower left leg feels as though swarms of ants are crawling all over it, then my toes seem to go solid! My right leg is perfectly normal. A friend suggested it was restless legs syndrome, but I don't feel the need to move my leg. Despite three visits to doctors, they can offer no solution. At 90 this sleeplessness is a problem.

Undeclared milk leads to US-wide butter recall

A voluntary recall has been issued for over 64,000 pounds of Bunge North America's NH European Style Butter Blend due to undeclared milk, a common allergen. The recall was initiated on 14 July and classified as a Class II recall by the FDA. The affected butter was distributed to 12 US centres and one in the Dominican Republic. This butter recall is part of a series of recent food and drink issues, including High Noon Vodka Seltzer being recalled as it was mislabeled as non-alcoholic energy drinks. Consumers are advised to check affected products and dispose of or return them.

Survey launched for 'once-in-a-lifetime' Keighley hospital

The public is being asked for their views to help shape a new billion-pound hospital scheme near Keighley. The new facility, which will replace the current Airedale Hospital, will be built on the existing site, with services continuing at Airedale while the re-build work takes place. The current hospital serves 220,000 people living in the Bradford and Craven online survey, launched by the Airedale NHS Foundation Trust, is looking for suggestions regarding accessibility, communal spaces, signage and the use of technology at the new hospital. Foluke Ajayi is currently chief executive of the trust which runs Airedale Hospital, and will be in charge of building its replacement. She said: "We are committed to building a hospital that serves the needs of everyone in our community."This latest survey builds on the raft of valuable insight we have gathered so far."As part of the government's New Hospital Programme, we will be using a national template called Hospital 2.0, which incorporates the latest innovations and technology. "Combining this with the views of our patients, staff and the public will help make the most of this once-in-a lifetime opportunity, and create a hospital we can all be proud of."She added that the trust was "excited" about the future for Airedale and urged local people to "join the conversation". Complete rebuild Airedale Hospital was built using the controversial material known as reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete, or Raac, which has been found to be unstable and prone to such, the hospital was earmarked for a complete rebuild under the previous government's New Hospitals Programme - a decision later confirmed by the present government, following its review of the scheme.A meeting of Bradford Council's health and social care scrutiny committee was told, in February, that work on the rebuild is expected to begin in the same meeting, councillors were told the scheme to replace the hospital with a new building could cost up to £1.5bn.A report prepared for the meeting said: "A capital funding envelope of between £1bn and £1.5bn has been confirmed, recognising the need to completely rebuild the hospital."Listen to highlights from West Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
