Clearly written, with chapters on what RLS really is, RLS and children, and coping with RLS - this book is an excellent resource in many ways. If you are not sure how to approach your doctor, there is advice. If you want to know more about your options regarding medication, it's covered. Reading it, for the first time, you may feel that someone finally understands what it's like to be you.
Written for the person with RLS, it also can help family and friends understand what their loved one is going through. RLS sounds like such an odd thing; some people even question if it's real. If someone in your life has RLS and you haven't taken it seriously or want to know more, please surprise the RLSer in your life and buy this. It will help you understand how difficult this chronic disorder can be for those who have a moderate or severe form of it.
It can also help the physician help better understand the RLS patient. For physicians, if you can only read one book, buy the Hening, Buchfurer and Lee book, Clinical Management of Restless Legs Syndrome, instead as it provides more detailed information regarding medication options, augmentation, and handling difficult cases.
