Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Causes, Symptoms & Relief


Question
What is and causes restless leg syndrome? I had never heard of this until my late mother-in-law used to talk about having the "budges" in her legs. She would often tell me that she couldn't keep her legs still when she went to bed. I have noticed my husband lately having the same problem.

Answer
It is when the legs are uncomfortable and keep moving especially at night. see www.nih.gov and search for restless legs for a complete explanation.

The cause and treatment appear to be from a deficiency of B vitamins, omega 3, calcium, magnesium and vit D.
