irlssg.org This site is an international group of RLS experts, some of whom I know, and this is the ONE list that is clear and concise. The photo says legs, it can be almost anywhere to be honest.

I'm not saying anything about having a cock tail shaker in bed with me at night, nope nothing!

That's an excellent description, I will print it off and wave it in the direction of the next person who says it's cramp when they have asked for an explanation regarding rls. I realise rls symptoms are difficult to describe but to be then told it is cramp brings me almost to screaming pitch. So thank you Manerva for the link.l
