Restless Legs Syndrome. An Uncontrollable Urge to Move
Description
Kendra is one of millions of individuals who can't sleep due to uncomfortable sensations in their legs. Often triggered by pregnancy or anemia, restless legs syndrome is not life-threatening, but the sleep deprivation that results can take a heavy toll. In this program, patients with restless legs syndrome describe their symptoms and how they coped before finding a medication that worked for them. Viewers also learn the four main symptoms doctors use to diagnose RLS, and clinical experts explain the role of the dopamine system in this neurosensory motor disorder.
