Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this form. But I had an experience several times that’s been eye-opening for me. Being in the car long distance with the air-conditioning blowing on my legs can really magnify my RLS symptoms without me being aware of it. And several times - not just once - I got almost total relief by just turning off the air-conditioning.

This is not fool-proof because I’ve also had times where the air conditioning doesn’t seem to make as much of a difference.

But it does explain some things, like why I get RLS in theaters sometimes. Often times the air-conditioning is really strong in those environments. This isn’t a 100% cure but it’s made a real difference at times.

Anything that cools my legs or feet (or arms) is an aggravator for me. It 's a good thing to be aware of, especially if it sneaks up on you. Usually the cold air on my legs is not from air conditioning and is anything but subtle.

Interesting...
