Restless Legs Syndrome: Relief and Hope for Sleepless Victims of a Hidden

Great book written by a fellow sufferer of RLS. Explains what RLS is, the symptoms, how to get more sleep and where to go for help. An easy to read book with practical advice. I am pleased with my purchase and would buy again.

This book did something my doctor didn't do: it helped me solve the problem of why my RLS was escalating rather than coming under control with meds. If you have RLS then you know that it is one of the most frustrating, agonizing, horrid syndromes that one can suffer from. Yes, it seems like it isn't all that bad. It won't kill you. It's not really PAINFUL. So what's the problem? The problem is that with the coming of the night (and some people have the problem during the day, too), you have to move your legs every few seconds. If you think that's not all that bad, think again. It becomes agonizing when you are so exhausted that you break down and cry. Frustration sets in when you know there is another night of jerking, shifting, aching, tingling, jogging and sleeplessness in store for you. If you have to hold down a day job and deal with RLS, it can very well end your career.What was the one problem the book solved for me? My doctor gave me anti-depressants along with the meds for RLS and it made the RLS WORSE. I was at the end of my rope when this book solved the mystery and gave me lots of other possible causes to review and consider.

This is a really helpful book and I recommend it for RLS sufferers like myself

I bought this with the hope of new information but was a bit disappointed. Although this book has plenty of useful information, for those of us who have been involved with RLS for many years, this did not provide any new insight to the cause or treatment. For someone newly diagnosed or for uninformed physicians, this book is great.

Thank you, it has helped.
