Restless Legs - A Definition

T. Willis:
De anima brutorum quæ hominis vitalis ac sensitiva 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.
London, R. Davis, 1672.
English translation by Samuel Pordage, London, 1683: Two Discourses concerning The Soul of Brutes, Which is that of the Vital and Sensitive of Man.

 

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
