I've heard of Restless Leg Syndrome and have had it 3 or 4 times in my life but over the last 2 days every muscle in my body feels like it needs to stretch. Doesnt matter if I'm sitting at the computer, on the couch, standing in the kitchen or here at work.
Sunday night was the worst. Every time I started to drift off to sleep I felt this incredible urge to stretch out, to move my arms/legs. I was too hot, then too cold. I tossed and turned and finally got up and watched some TV on the couch. Even tried to sleep there...nothing doing. I ended up falling asleep about 30 mins before my alarm went off. I had to call in to work....I knew I'd never make a whole day.
Finally last night I was able to get to sleep after taking 1 Tylenol PM and 1 1/2 Xanax. But now this morning I'm so tired!! I dozed off a couple of times driving to work (45 min ride) and here at my desk I'm having a hell of a time staying away! And STILL my legs, arms and shoulders feel like I need to stretch them. Does anyone else get this? Is there anything at all that I can do or take to help it??? It's driving me crazy! Seriously, I need some advice!

Since i'm feeling it now also, i can describe this with some more additional feelings. i'm feeling lot thirsty, already have drunk too much of water, still my mouth is dry. i feel like stretching my back and legs & hip joints on the sides.
I searched on the net at one more link...one of the person says that his doctor has told him to be anaemic & i used to be anaemic but haven't checked it lately.
do you guys also have similar symptoms ?
