Does anyone know of a RLS forum or group that can help mommy deal

with their little kids who have RLS? My friend has a 5 year old little boy

who was diagnosed with RLS. The kid is on medication to help him pay

attention in school The school is treating him as a child with ADD. The

kid is actually very smart. He uses big words and is like talking to a little adult.

I can't believe that his mom allowed her 5 year old kid drugs because his

legs are always bouncing and it's destructive to the other kids. The kid

has allergies so bad that his nose is always running and stuffy. They gave

him Childrens Benadryl to add another punch. The kid is spacy.
