SYMP - Dick answers Ninette

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I've only been a member for a few months and I'm grateful to all - I've learned

so much from you.

I notice there are many new members and I want to share with them what in my

opinion is a classic. This was posted by the departed Dr. Dick Levin in response

to Ninette 's question about how to explain RLS to friends. Expect a

raised eyebrow if you use it on your doctor. :-) I'm still a little

suspicious of the first half - Dr. Levin uses " have " , " loss of function " and

" in...your brain " in the same sentence to describe us. lol

Tell them that you have intermittent loss of function of one or more

inhibitory pathways in your spinal cord and/or your brain. This allows

excitatory stimuli to take over and give you the strange feelings that

only movement relieves.
