Excrutiating pain and genital and or facial symptoms are not part of the restless leg syndrome. These symptoms (excrutiating pain/facial/genital), no matter how they are induced or sustained, no matter what the person's pain tolerence, would preclude, ie. rule out, a diagnosis of RLS. Diagnostics is...

My original post was in response to someone who was seeking advice. Since the person was seeking advice, I responded with advice. No one is compelled to follow my advice. No one is compelled to follow anyone's advice. If there is coercion involved, it would not be called advice, it would be called a...

All I can say is that I was responding to someone seeking advice. What I wrote is my heart felt best advice. It isn't angry. It isn't crazy. It isn't any more judgemental than anyone else's advice. Of course it involves a decision on my part, based on my own negative experiences. That is how everyon...

It has been my experience that doctors and medications almost always make whatever is wrong with you far worse. And, it doesn't matter what is wrong with you, mental or physical. If they do manage to remove something that needs to be removed, like a gall bladder say, they put you through absolute he...

Believe me, I wouldn't bother to wrap both of my legs from the hip to the foot and then cover myself in magnets every night for years and years if I just had a half hour of twitching before bed. I know exactly what it's like to experience severe restless leg symptoms every night, all night, and stil...

"Can't live a productive life" with RLS because of daytime symptoms? Wow, sounds like you really are a very, very special and unique case. I never knew RLS was actually a matter of survival. Please, do keep fighting the good fight. I'd hate to lose one of my fellow comrades in twitching for the lack...

Toxins/Massage
All of these populations have conditions that cause a diminishment of the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and/or the build up of toxins in the blood.
