Restless Legs - A Definition

est, excertitationes duæ; prior physiologica ejusdem
naturam, partes, potentias et affectiones tradit; altera
pathologica morbos qui ipsam, et sedem ejus primarium, nempe
ceerebrum et nervosum genus atticiunt, explicat, eorumque
therapeias instituit.

About The Restless Legs Report
Being affected by restless legs myself I recently
became aware of the fact that more infomation about this medical
condition is needed. There are already a couple of publications
and websites available, but overall the restless legs syndrome
has not received much attention.
For years I have actually not really known what I
am dealing with and so far it has not been severe enough that I
really mentioned it to my doctor. Then I saw a few TV commercials
mentioning RLS and that caught my interest. During my research
I decided to start yet another website. I know - there are websites
about the restless legs syndrome on the Internet, but I think if
more attention is created about this topic then we will eventually
see more and better studies and maybe one day cure for this condition.
Best regards,
Christoph Puetz
