Sometimes I think about this plague because I have restless leg[1]. It gets really bad sometimes at night to the point that I can't sit still I have to jump around. I take medication for it now and so it's controlled but if I didn't take meds for it it would be a lot harder to deal with.

The reason I think of restless leg in connection with this disease is that, remarkably, modern medicine does not have a definitive answer for the cause of either. I take several pills that doctors have prescribed which I have discovered help with the disease but it is unknown why they do so in some cases.

I get that the disease is complicated, but sometimes I just wonder if these people took an Epsom salt bath if that would have lent some relief.
