    You might have rls, but you could also have some other issues going on which rls is just one symptom of. Has your doctor done any sort of testing of your hormone levels? That might be something to ask about if it hasn't been done already.

    I told the doctor not to rely on the blood test as arthritus does not always show in early stages that's why my mum is bad now -i stood my ground and insisted on test being done for me and doctor agrees I may have rls-(restless legs syndrome ) as I wrote down about it from the internet and my doctor read it and was interested
