DnLRanch asked:
My mother’s Restless legs were so bad it put her into ER, under full sedation her legs still jump with electro feel. Doctors are shocked and have never seen legs this bad. She was under sedation for two days before the RLS disappeared. She is on all possible meds. What do we know about our neurological system in the brain? What causes this electro sensation? HELP

She is a very unique case, she has been on Iron suppliments. Orally she has not been able to keep her Iron level up. Today the Dr. decided to look into Iron by IV. As John Hopkins University’s research. Thank you for your comment.
I agree, it seems there is more than RLS at play here. If it is indeed RLS, studies show that it can be exacerbated by iron deficiency. I suffered from RLS when I was iron deficient and once I started taking supplements and getting levels back up the RLS disappeared. Have her doctor do a blood test for serum ferrtitin, transferrin binder, TIBC, etc. if she hasn’t had this done already. If the values are abnormal, an iron supplement (I prefer ferrous sulfate) may help. Hope she gets better!
at first it seemed to be rls. but towards the end .. especially from 1:29 on that looks like it could be plmd(periodic limb movement disorder). have the doctors checked into that?? they are very similar
this is terrible
