Restless Leg Syndrome... siapa suffer benda ni?

AinFarisya

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) has several major signs and symptoms:

    * An almost irresistible urge to move the legs or arms when sitting or lying down
    * An unpleasant feeling in the legs
    * Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep because of the unpleasant feelings in the legs or arms
    * Daytime sleepiness, which results from a lack of restful sleep due to the repeated limb movements

Urge To Move

RLS gets its name from the urge to move the legs when sitting or lying down. This urge is due to unpleasant feelings in the legs that are relieved by movement. Typical movements are:

    * Pacing and walking
    * Jiggling the legs
    * Stretching and flexing
    * Tossing and turning
    * Rubbing the legs

Unpleasant Feelings

The urge to move the legs usually is due to unpleasant feelings in the legs. People with RLS describe these feelings as:

    * Creeping
    * Crawling
    * Pulling
    * Itching
    * Tingling
    * Burning
    * Aching
    * Painful
    * Hard to describe

Children may describe RLS symptoms differently than adults.
