What makes a person get restless leg syndrome? and how to stop it.?

RLS has only recently been taken serious by the medical profession as the causes r still being worked on. Some probable causes for this very uncomfortable , weird affliction could be anxiety, pregnancy or as in my case, anemia. My RLS stopped after being started on prescription doses of iron(Ferrous Sulfate) and Vit B12 injections. There r several new medicines now available that help the symptoms , by prescription and OTC that people claim is helpful. Also drinking tonic water which contains quinine is supposed to help, that was told to me by my doctor several yrs. back. U could try the OTC product or see ur Dr. to get at the cause of ur restless legs. Finally, there is help available for this horrible sensation that only those that had/have it can understand.
