Restless Legs Syndrome

public - created 09/05/04
Restless Legs Syndrome is an overwhelming urge to move the legs usually caused by uncomfortable or unpleasant sensations in the legs. The sensations have the following features:

Occur during periods of inactivity
Become more sensitive in the evening and at night

Are relieved by movement of the limb

Often cause difficulty staying or falling asleep, which leads to feelings of daytime tiredness or fatigue

May cause involuntary jerking of the limbs during sleep and sometimes during wakefulness

Personally, I am just curious as to who else may experience these symptoms, and what solutions they may have.

(BTW, if you haven't experienced this, you will know - you won't really be able to comprehend the description. But trust me, this is legit, and it is positively the most annoying contribution to insomnia out there. It really sucks.)
