Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I have had rls as long as I can remember, and it was only recently that I realized I wasn't the only one. This may sound really stupid, but could rls have anything to do with being a breach baby? As a fetus, I apparently stayed upright most of the time because my toes never have laid down straight- they have always overlapped as if I had been crouching my entire formative time. Anyhoo, I always thought that because of this I was not able to get circulation for proper development and that is why my legs tingle. My husband has always referred to it as my 'Jimmy Legs.' It is nice to know I'm not alone-
Take care to all,

Can't say I've ever heard of that being the cause. It's a problem in the brain with iron and dopamine uptake. It can also be brought on by many other diseases/conditions, however.

If you've had it since you were a child, it is probably hereditary, though no one in your family may talk about it or they may have mild cases.

It's nice to find out you're not alone, isn't it? I wish none of us had it, but at least we have each other.
