What Restless Legs Syndrome Feels Like
Donna, 51, experienced her first symptoms of restless legs syndrome (RLS) as a teenager. Living in silence for years, she convinced herself that she was crazy: She didn’t understand why she always had to move her legs, why she couldn’t sleep at night, and why it was so hard to explain the feeling to other people.

Perfect description …
Perfect description. I get it in my legs and in my back and I can wiggle around like a mad puppet but it will come right back. I feel like I have electricity running through me.

I believe i have this too. I am only 15, but my mother has had it for years, and her father had it extremely harshly for years as well. Mine is painful. Its just a shooting pain that feels like it has to be moved, so i kick my leg, and it gets worse. Sometimes I don’t get any sleep. I think its RLS but I’m not quite sure, it sounds like it, but I’ll find out tomorrow at the doctors.

I have had this horrible condition for many years, as does my mother, and my son. I would describe it as a deep ache in the right buttock accompanied with the need to move the leg about once every minute or so. This debilitating condition has ruined lots of nights sleep for me
