no want to know more about restless legs and wht may cause it

Answer

I see. Restless Leg Syndrome, in many cases, has no known cause. In others, genetics are to blame. Iron deficiency, stress, pregnancy, and sometimes, it can occur as a symptom of another disease such as kidney failure and peripheral neuropathy (which occurs a lot with patients who have diabetes). Researches think there is a link between the chemical Dopamine in the brain and an imbalance with it. Dopamine sends messages that control muscle movements.
