Don’t let Restless Leg Syndrome keep you from doing the things you enjoy! "Restless Leg Syndrome does not have to control your life." Break free from RLS symptoms. You don’t have to suffer any longer.Like me, you’ve struggled with a condition that so little is known about, but that effects you every single day... or more accurately every single night! It hits just when all you want to do is sit down and relax... only you can’t. Just as you get comfortable your legs start to get that itchy, creepy crawly feeling...you have to move them or you’ll go crazy. Do any of these Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) symptoms sound familiar... * Insistent, unpleasant sensations deep inside your legs that can feel like creeping, crawling, tingling, burning, pulling - even pain - anywhere along your legs (on one or both sides) from your thigh to your ankle. * Moving your legs makes these awful sensations go away... for a little while at least. * Lying down or sitting (like on a cross country flight) is a torture test to keep still and suffer through the awful, nagging, relentless sensations in your legs. * Everything’s worse in the evening and during the night. * You toss and turn in bed, trying to get comfortable. * Falling asleep is nearly impossible... just as you start to drift off; you have that irresistible urge to move... again. * When you do manage to get to sleep, you may find yourself jolted awake by involuntary leg (and sometimes even arm) movements. * You’re dragging during the day... sleepy and totally drained, yet you just don’t sleep well at night - your best rest seems to come from 4:00 to 6:00 in the morning. * Your symptoms are intermittent... coming on for months at a time and then disappearing for no reason. Just when you think these awful, irritating feelings are gone for good, they return again. * You’ve gone to your doctor, maybe even had a few tests, only to be told there’s nothing wrong... or worse, it’s all in your head. * Your mother or father, maybe even a brother or sister seems to have the very same problem... and no answers to it either. If you’re nodding "yes" to one (or more) one of these, I know I can help you... What’s happening is not your fault ... the awful sensations... the constant exhaustion... the quirky set of symptoms that turn out to be nothing. It’s unbelievably frustrating. When my doctor finally, came up with a diagnosis for the uncomfortable feelings I’d been experiencing, after almost six months of exams and tests, I was actually glad - at least I had a name for it. As it turns out Restless Legs Syndrome affects more women than men - especially those of us in our forties, fifties and sixties. In fact, I learned that experts believe that from 5% to 12% of people in the United States and Europe deal with this frustrating, little-understood, but absolutely life altering condition. Here are some things about RLS that you need to know. Don’t be surprised that even your own doctor doesn’t know some of the things you’re about to learn... "Combating Restless Legs Syndrome Is A Plain Speaking Resource For Anyone Trying To Cope With RLS" It was a feeling that’s so hard to describe... deep in my calves this creepy crawly sensatio
