Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

do I feel silly telling people I have RLS?? Every single time. I hate it. I cross my fingers that I'll get a good response, as most often I do (something like: my husband has it...it's awful). But sometimes I hear: "Oh, you mean it's real??" Then you read that congressman says the drug companies made it up. I push myself to say it, though. I decided a few years back that people should hear it, and I can answer questions if they have them. I still would like to know why I'm the only one in the back of the play,movie, symphony, etc. I don't go very often any more, because I hate doing that, but when I go, and stand in the back to enjoy the music, I'm ALL ALONE.

I think you're all alone because so many of us choose to give up things rather than stand in the back row. We don't go to the theatre, movies, symphony, etc. Or, we go to the matinee performance.

Good for you to keep going anyway.
