I attended the USA RLS symposium last weekend. One of the most disturbing but honest descriptions of RLS was " The most common disease in the human population that you most likely have never heard of." Between 8 - 10% of white Caucasians suffer with it. Other ethic groups haven't yet been studied in any depth.
Once I begin to recover .. I, for one, am going to make sure that changes. I am sick to my stomach of the level of ignorance I have experienced among GP's and that many see it as trivial. I heard one say 'Well it doesn't kill you!" That disgusts me. It could have killed me, and MANY commit suicide because they cannot live with the torment.
