The Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation estimates that up to 8
percent of the population suffers with restless legs syndrome
(RLS). The hallmark of this neurologic disorder is an irresistible
urge to move, most commonly at night. It causes uncomfortable
sensations often described as creeping, crawling, tugging, burning,
or aching feelings in the calves, feet, thighs, and arms. These
disruptive symptoms vary in severity and can result in difficulty
staying or falling asleep, fatigue, and impaired daytime function
resulting from loss of sleep.
Written by respected leaders in this field and sponsored by the
American Academy of Neurology, "Restless Legs Syndrome" explains
what we know about RLS, including its causes and manifestations,
and what can be done to manage it. Topics covered include:
Causes, symptoms, and diagnosis RLS in children Personal
relationships and RLS Resources Lifestyle changes, dealing with
daily activities, RLS triggers, and much more
This indispensable guide will help millions of people to
understand this condition so that they can take control of their
lives and make informed decisions. It also will be a useful
resource for families, caregivers, and health care providers.
