It has only been recently that we, as a public, have become aware of the disorder called Restless Leg Syndrome. Though RLS was first listed in medical books in 1945, it has been around for centuries and its cause is still a mystery.
Among the reasons and causes for RLS are a study released some years ago that stated adults with RLS most likely also suffered from ADD or ADHD. RLS symptoms can cause burning, itching, crawling sensations and the victim feels the uncontrollable need to move to seek relief. In contrast, ADHD is characterized by restlessness, distractibility and impulsiveness - leading the study to find a large number of RLS patients also showed symptoms of ADHD.
