tidbit from Mosby's

[Guest guest]

The latest edition of Mosby's describes RLS this way:

restless legs syndrome (AS, restlaes leggr), a benign condition of

unknown origin characterized by an irritating sensation of uneasiness,

tiredness, and itching deep within the muscles of the leg, especially the

lower part of the limb, accompanied by twitching and sometimes by pain.

The only relief is walking or moving the legs. The condition may be

associated with various psychiatric disorders, probably as a form of

extrapyramidal hyperkinesis. Also called anxietas tibiarum. Ekbom's

syndrome, and Wittman-Eckbom syndrome.

So now we know, for what it's worth!!!!!!!!!!!!
