About
Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement
Restless
Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a common condition which causes pain and
discomfort and prevents healthy sleeping patterns in sufferers. If
you often feel an urge to move your legs when sitting or lying still
for a long time, experience a “funny,” uncomfortable, creepy or
itchy sensation in your legs when at rest or have ever woken
yourself or your partner up during the night with jerking movements
of your legs you may very well have Restless Leg Syndrome or RLS.
These symptoms are usually
most troublesome at night though they can
also occur during long stretches of inactivity, such as car trips,
airline travel, in meetings, or when watching movies. Voluntarily
moving the legs usually brings temporary relief from the unpleasant
sensations. RLS is often detrimental to normal sleeping patterns,
leading to insomnia and subsequent fatigue during the day - a
problem that is inconvenient and debilitating for many people.
Restless leg syndrome often has an insidious onset and worsens
slowly over time. As the condition deteriorates the arms may also
become involved.
Periodic Limb Movement of Sleep (PLMS or PLM) is a similar
condition, but occurs during sleep. People suffering from PLM are
not always aware of their problem although it does sometimes wake
them up. Often the problem is reported by their sleeping partner who
is kept awake by the involuntary movements during sleep. While not
all people with RLS experience PLM, many people will have both
conditions, although RLS remains the most troublesome to the
sufferer.
Causes of RLS and PLM Although a single cause for Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb
Movement has not been identified, these sleep disorders have been
associated with several other conditions including pregnancy,
obesity, neurological conditions, diabetes, ADHD, nutritional
deficiency and kidney disease. People with these conditions are far
more prone to RLS and PLM, though the symptoms often resolve when
the underlying condition is properly treated or comes to a natural
end.
Deficiencies of minerals, notably magnesium deficiency and iron
deficiency anemia are also implicated in causing RLS and PLM.
Environmental and other toxins including alcohol, cigarette smoke,
caffeine and certain drugs like antihistamines, anti-nausea drugs,
blood pressure medications and certain prescription antidepressants
can also cause or worsen symptoms.
Because these conditions sometime run in families, researchers are
currently investigating a genetic link as well.
If there is a known underlying condition causing RLS or PLM,
treatment will be based on correcting the underlying disease. If no
causative condition is known there are several drugs currently used
to treat the symptoms of RLS and these are generally sedatives,
anti-convulsants, pain-killers or dopaminergic drugs. All of these
prescription drugs have the potential to cause adverse side-effects
and some are also addictive. For this reason, people who suffer from PLM without RLS are often advised against medication due to the fact
that PLM causes fewer problems and less sleep disturbance than RLS.

causing RLS and PLM including obesity, neurological
conditions, diabetes, ADHD, nutritional deficiency
and kidney disease

deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are also
implicated in causing RLS and PLM
• Substances that are known to have negative effects
and cause or worsen symptoms include alcohol,
cigarette smoke, caffeine and certain drugs like

medications and certain prescription
antidepressants. Try to reduce your intake of these
substances and speak to your health care provider
about an alternative treatment if you use any of
these drugs regularly or see our range of natural
remedies for a wide variety of conditions.
