Question:
I am A 39 year old woman and was recently said to have the nervous leg syndrome.  I would like to know how I got this and will I ever be able to get off the medicine prescribed for me?  Please let me know something.  I had never heard of this I thought my Dr. was crazy.

Dr. Heller's Answer:
The restless leg syndrome appears to be a form of epilepsy (nerve cells firing inappropriately and out of control).  It’s commonly treated with anti-epilepsy medications and benzodiazepine tranquilizers like Klonopin.

A common cause of the restless leg syndrome is iron deficiency - which is common in women your age.  Getting the following blood tests could reveal if you have an iron deficiency: CBC, iron level, ferritin and iron binding capacity.
