The first part of the book addresses the various comorbidities and long-term consequences of RLS on life quality, sleep, cognitive, psychiatric and cardiovascular systems, while the second part focuses on the management of long-term treatment and the drug-induced complications in primary RLS and in special populations.

Restless Leg Syndrome or RLS is a very common condition in the Western World. Approximately 10% of the general population is affected by this condition. Still, very little is known about RLS. After battling with RLS for several years, I was urged to conduct some research of my own as my doctor wanted to give me medication. The idea of taking medication for the rest of my life, didn't appeal to me. There is no ideal cure for this condition although several researchers are on the quest of finding a medicine with no side effects. In the meanwhile, many people with RLS, including me, have found simple tricks and home remedies to ease the symptoms and fall asleep at night. In the process of researching about RLS, I have found various interesting facts about the body and I have come across over 80 different remedies people have tried. This book is a compilation of all the information that I have gathered. It consists of all the information right from the pathophysiology of RLS to simple tips that you may try for better sleep. The main objective of this book is to help you find a remedy that works for you. There are 83 different remedies that you can try. One of them might work for you. It did for me so I can't see why it wouldn't work for you. I explain how I solved my RLS with sand! RLS is characterised by painful cramps and/or uncontrollable movements of the limbs and/or sensations in the legs that feels like several insects moving up and down your leg. These symptoms become terrible at night making it impossible to fall asleep. The only thing you can do is wake up and move around and wait for the symptoms to calm down. Or at least, that's what I thought. I was wrong, I was committed to find a remedy for my RLS that would help so I could actually sleep at night. I found it and I am sharing it with you. As I am a sufferer, I know how depressing it can become if you can't sleep for days! Covered in this book: - Symptoms - Diagnosis - Pathophysiology - Living with RLS - Diseases that are mistaken for RLS - Causes - Treatment options - 83 Home remedies - How to improve your sleep - Sleep deprivation ... and much more
