Ever get that “I just *have* to move my legs right now” feeling? 🥴 Like you’re trying to rest… but your legs didn’t get the memo?
That could be Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) — and it’s more common than you think!
Here’s the lowdown 👇
⚡ RLS is a neurological + movement condition that causes those strange “tingly, crawly, electric buzz” sensations in your legs.
👉 It usually shows up when you’re trying to relax or sleep and the *only* thing that helps is moving.
💤 It can throw off your sleep, energy, and even tie into pelvic floor tension (because, yep, our nervous systems love to over-communicate).
❗More common in those assigned female at birth, during pregnancy, or when iron levels or dopamine are off balance.
What you CAN do 👇
🚶♀️Keep your body moving: gentle exercise helps calm symptoms.
😴 Protect your sleep: cut caffeine late in the day + keep a steady bedtime.
🛁 Try warm baths, stretching, or a little leg massage before bed.
📊 Check your iron (especially ferritin) levels with your provider.
⚠️ Don’t ignore your nervous system: pelvic floor + relaxation therapies can make a difference!
You’re not “just fidgety," your body’s asking for support❗
