Erica - sleeping in the guest room

How Restless Legs Syndrome makes me feel: Helpless. Frustrated. Desperate for a solution.

"I've had 'jumpy legs' ever since I was a kid. My mom and sister have it too. Honestly, I never worried about it much, because it only affected me. But it kept getting worse as I got older. I was in and out of bed a lot, which disturbed my husband's sleep too."

		"Why can't I just sleep like other people?" "I'm not in control." "This is very frustrating."

Note: Erica's story is based on comments and experiences of patients with Restless Legs Syndrome.
