Welcome to the Restless Legs Syndrome Channel

Restless legs syndrome is a disorder in which unpleasant feelings in the legs -- which usually begin or worsen during periods of rest or inactivity, and can disturb sleep -- cause an almost irresistible urge to move the legs. Some people with restless legs syndrome do not seek treatment because they think they won't be taken seriously, their symptoms are too mild, or they believe their restless legs syndrome can't be treated. But there is treatment available that can improve and relieve symptoms of restless legs syndrome.
