RLS is "jimmy legs"... or as my wife calls it, "happy feet." My insomnia got so bad about five years ago, my wife made me get a test done, fearing I had apnea. When I woke up at the sleep clinic the nurse said, "I have never seen anyone kick so much in my life!"

They gave me some stuff called Mirapex which cleared it up, but I haven't taken it for the past couple of years. It just started coming back, so this week I got an iron supplement (325mg/day) to see if that makes a difference.

My dad has the same problem, so in my case it seems to be genetic. Either way it very annoying (as I'm sure my long-suffering wife will agree!).

Hey does that mean I can get a "Handicap" sticker? Does it mean that I have preferential treatment to get a job (if I needed one)?
