Lupus and RLS

RLS occurs more frequently in certain populations, including people with end-stage renal disease, women during pregnancy, and people with iron deficiency. Also, RLS/WED in the elderly and children brings other challenges. Sharing your experiences may be extraordinarily helpful to others.

Lupus and RLS

Post by adrianna_leigh »

I have had RLS for 11 years. I recently came across a book, "The Lupus Encyclopedia" by Donald Thomas Jr. connecting lupus and RLS. "More than half of SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus (a lupus variation) patients have a sleep disorder that causes fatigue. These sleep disorders include sleep apnea, PLMS, and RLS." Does anyone have personal experience or comments on living with lupus and RLS? Dr. Donald Thomas is a physician associated with Johns Hopkins.
