    RLS - Restless Leg Syndrome

    Resless Leg Syndrome - does anyone else suffer from this, I do, mostly when sitting down and tired. I just have to get up and walk wabout, apparently about 8% of people do......so who else here does ?

    Not me, but my mother in law does.

    Personally I just think she's a loon.

      Yep, had it for as long as I can remember. Usually worst when sitting down and tired. Cramp like pain in the lower leg, especially the shins for some reason, that make me have to move them every few seconds or get up and walk about. I get a bout of it about once a month or so.

            Hmm, don't think so, but I do have a tendency to like 'bounce' my leg up and down on the ball of my foot whilst sat at my desk... I've seen lots of people do this before... is there a name for this??

              Me too, I have to make up pretend meetings to give myself a reason to get up and walk around sometimes. Just can't abide sitting around for ages.

              Mind you, its not as bad as some people - there are quite a few where I work suffering from Restless Mouth Syndrome...

                Yes, irritating git syndrome.

                Hyperactive people often suffer from it and too much caffeine can cause it.

                My wife usually gets in in the evening (titter). She calls it "unnecessary legs". It's very distracting when trying to watch TV next to her.

                  My sister in law does it. I agree with the annoying git syndrome. I think it's caused by the fact that she's FINE. Female, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional.

                    I guess I do this, but I've never thought of it as a "syndrome". I never seem to be able to sit still for long.
