Core Symptoms of RLS
- Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is defined by an uncontrollable urge to move legs due to uncomfortable sensations worsening at night.
- Symptoms ease with movement and no other condition fully explains the experience.
Underlying Causes of RLS
- RLS often indicates underlying problems like peripheral neuropathy, iron deficiency, kidney failure, spinal cord injury, or Parkinson's disease.
- These conditions increase RLS risk and should be medically evaluated.
Iron Management for RLS
- Check iron levels carefully before supplementation as too much iron can harm brain health.
- Prefer raising iron naturally with diet under practitioner supervision to calm RLS symptoms safely.
