Different #nutrientdeficiencies could contribute to #RestlessLegsSyndrome. #Iron deficiency is the most probable factor. Additionally, deficiencies in #folicacid and vitamin #B12 may also be involved in the condition for certain individuals. #healthyaging #aging #rls

Restless Legs Syndrome Linked to Parkinson’s Risk–Making it a Perfect Case for Early Treatment South Korean scientists recently determined that patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) showed approximately double the Parkinson’s disease incidence. If that doesn’t sound like good news, it’s because you haven’t heard what they found next. Researchers from Korea University Ansan Hospital and collaborators then found that among those RLS patients, those who were treated with […] The post Restless Legs Syndrome Linked to Parkinson’s Risk–Making it a Perfect Case for Early Treatment appeared first on Good News Network.

It's quite funny how my body blackmails me for dopamine.
It's like "Gimme that dopamine or I'll start inflict pain to your legs!"

On jotenkin hassua, kuinka kehoni kiristää minulta dopamiinia.
Tyyliin, että "Tänne sitä dopamiina, tai alan aiheuttaa jalkakipuja!"
Ja tähänhän ei tietenkään auta mikään ruutujen skrollaus, vaan täytyy napata ihan lääkettä.

The researchers acknowledged limitations to their study. But this line of research is definitely worth watching, as it echoed other studies. #RestlessLegsSyndrome #RLS #WillisEkbomDisease #Parkinsons buff.ly/dZEj2Wr

Let's talk about #RestlessLegsSyndrome (#RLS) for our #autism co-occurring conditions series today 🦵. This is one that many of us are probably familiar with. People with RLS, as the name suggests, experience a strong urge to move their legs, especially at night or while sitting/laying down. 1/8

Last year I took a 30th anniversary tattoo about my restless legs syndrome, since I've been living with this pain as long as I can remember. Usually I can sleep through the pain but few nights a month the pain gets so bad I can't sleep at all. Those nights it feels like I could saw off my own legs, but then again I bet I would get some ghost limb pain, since the pain is not really in the legs, but in my dopamine receptors etc.

This week has been filled with pain. From monday to friday I had non stop pain in my legs because of my RLS. I'm trying to get proper medication first time in a decade, but I'm not really hopeful since no one really knows shit about this syndrome. How do people cope with this?

If you have #RestlessLegsSyndrome, you may be iron deficient. Have your physician check the #ferritin in your #blood. A number less than 50 indicates more #iron is needed to reverse this nutrition deficiency. #rls #healthyaging #aging

Masturbation calms restless leg syndrome It's not just sex with someone you love. For some, masturbation might have a real clinical benefit: it can ease a compulsive urge to wriggle your legs
