I've had RLS for a long time and don't take shit for it. It only comes once in a while, every few months, for a few nights, then goes away.

I haven't been able to tie it to any change in my diet or behavior, it's completely random.

I hate it, it feels like there are bugs in the bones of my leg, especially around my knee, and they are writhing around and unless I move my joint, they drive me crazy.

It feels a lot like when a limb goes asleep, and is waking up, that pins and needles sensation, but inside your bones, and it sticks around for a few hours.

What I do now when it happens, I get out of bed, stretch, drink some water, walk around a bunch, stretch again and try to lessen the feeling enough for me to get back to sleep.
