I was born with it, but of course in 1940, it was an unknown condition, I was 57 before I was diagnosed.

I was 21 when I started getting problems with my sleep I used to go to the doctors when it started getting bad to be fobbed off with sleeping tablets every single time one doctor told me to try jogging at night so in the end I stopped going if I’m lucky I get 2 hrs a night some nights nothing I’m now 32 and iv only just been referred to a sleep doctor last September to find out iv got restless leg syndrome and plmd had a a study over night last month at a London hospital and got an appointment to see my consultant tomorrow so fingers crossed after 20+ yrs il finally get some help
