Restless Leg Syndrom May be Genetic


Okay you estimated 5 millions Americans who suffer from restless leg syndrom, you are not crazy and you are not imagining your condition.

News in the New England Journal of Medicine claim that your restless leg syndrom may be related to your genetic make up.

The study done by Icelandic researchers, found a genetic variation in 451 people suffering from RLS and compared it 514 relatives of these people.

They found one genetic variant in all subjects and this variant was is believed to increase periodic limb movements.

This genetic variant may also increase you chances of suffering from iron deficiency, kidney disease, diabetes, and neuropathy, which researchers have long believed to be related to RLS.

Yes, you can blame it on your ancestors. But is knowing that going to help you today? It may give you some comfort knowing it's not "all in your mind" as my wife has been told.

But let's be realistic, it will be some time before researchers can do anything useful with this information.

And, is this genetic link to restless leg syndrome the only cause of RLS?

My wife who suffers from RLS, has no record of anyone in her family ever having any RLS symptoms, or any sleep disorders. So, could there also be people who suffer from RLS for other reasons.

Who knows? That's one of the frustrating things about this condition - no one seems to know much about anything.

But the good news in this possible genetic RLS link is, hopefully now it will be recognized as a real medical condition, and some real research can take place to help those who suffer from restless leg syndrom.

For now, those who suffer from restless leg syndrom will have to deal with the RLS symptoms the best way they can.

From 2002 to 2019, I was battling this terrible disease called Diabetes, I couldn't afford so many things, as I was spending about 70% of my income on treating diabetes and liver problems. little did i know that my medications were the main cause of this issue. After spending tons of money nursing my diabetes, my wife’s friend messaged her on facebook, Sarah told her about the great herbalist Dr James,who uses herbs and roots extract to cure diseases that have been said to be incurable by drugs and injections from Nigeria in west A frica, my wife explained to Dr.James what’s going on with me, and Dr.James asked what i have been using, after my wife explained to him, he asked if i was having blurred vision, kidney issues or any other complications, my wife told him i had blurry vision and liver issues, and he confirmed that the medicines i have been using is the cause of the complications. That was when it occurred to me that my doctor had changed my medications 5 times within the space of 12 years. I took my time to read about the side effects of the medicine i was using, lo and behold, I was shocked.
After 2 days, we ordered Dr.James natural herbs cure for Diabetes treatments and he also gave some directives on what to do, in a 4 days time , the supplements arrived in the States, and my husband started using the herbal medicine in accordance with Dr.James directives. so my husband used the herbal medicine accordingly as he was told. After the completion of the treatment on the 4th week, with Dr.James herbal medicine, from 2019 till date, my husband has been feeding normally like everybody else. After I saw these changes in 2019, I told some people I know about Dr. James herbal mix medicine in west Africa , they used it and told others about it and the good news about Dr.James herbal healings keeps spreading.
