Oh, I get that. You were just extremely quotable.

Someone told me they have "Restless Leg Syndrome." I told them to run it off...

I had that my whole life, long before there was a name for it. Hurts like a MF'er and keeps me awake when it kicks in. Those nights, I get less sleep. I won't take drugs for it or dignify it with a name.

The closest I can explain it is the pins and needles feeling you get when your foot falls asleep, except less acute and much deeper in your muscle tissue.

Well that sounds like no fun at ALL.

That's not restless leg - my grandmother had what you describe. Sorry man, it won't kill you. You'll just wish you were dead.

I remember the first time I saw a commercial for "restless leg syndrome" and thinking "holy shit, we're down to naming this??" Guess all the important issues had already been addressed.

So anyway, if what I occasionally get is not what the drug companies call "restless leg syndrome", what is it (RLS)?

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I can't imagine being in the medical field working with people coming in all the time after watching commercials or reading on the internet what they "have." Poor Tommy...

I don't know, but my grandmother had the circulation of a turnip. We asked about RLS and they said it wasn't it. Her description of it was exactly what you just posted. Hell, now I'm curious... go in and see what your doctor says.
