Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Hello,

I am a new member to RLS.org. I am happy to find you. My situation seems a little different than what has been described as RLS. In my case my legs can not find a comfortable resting popositioon for more than a few seconds while sleeping (or trying to sleep). This has caused a great deal of stress and sleep deprivation. I am forced out of bed for hours until my exhaustion level overcomes the sensations and I am allowed to sleep. The situation has become a nightly occurance and soon I feel I will become totallly sleep deprived and disoriented.

I would welcome any comments or advise from anyone who has a similar experience.

Thank you,

Paul...

paul,
hi.. good to speak!

it doesnt sound that different? are you thinking that its not rls because you dont get the 'irresistable urge' to move your legs - to remove the "feeling" in your legs? it really does smell of rls'ey stuff to me!

have you seen the criteria that rls org uses? its here.. http://www.rls.org/NetCommunity/Page.as ... &srcid=178

have a look and see what you think. keep posting!
