RLS, Restless Legs Syndrome
Question:
RLS, Restless Legs Syndrome "… the most common disorder you’ve never heard of!" Do your legs have an unexplainable feeling in them that deprives you of your sleep? Have you ever tried to explain the feeling as aching, burning, crawling, creeping, growing pains, jitters, pulling, tingling, or twitching? These are some of the terms people have used to describe this sensation inside their legs. Has your doctor been at a loss to help you? Have you paced the floors at home, disturbing your family with an uncontrollable need to move your legs? Have you been told, or have started to think you are crazy? YOU ARE NOT ALONE! If any of this sounds familiar, please visit the Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation’s Web site for more information on this condition! —————— The RLS Foundation’s Official http://www.rls.org RLS, Restless Legs Syndrome Support Site —————— The information available at this site includes a free brochure about RLS, how to subscribe to the quarterly NightWalkers newsletter, the official list of local support groups, how to obtain a medical bulletin that you can present to your doctor, various links to other RLS related Web sites, and more.
