This older one at the top of the list goes along with that newer one you posted, Chemar. I'm really interested in this ferritin issue. I also have RLS so have been trying to follow the connections. Somewhere or other on my computer I have some concise information that talks about differences between stored ferritin levels, iron deficiency, anaemia and the like. I'll try to find it. It's important that people just don't go on a iron overload regime thinking it'll help. It's more complex than that and for some people, taking Iron can be harmful.

"Restless legs in Tourette syndrome.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and Tourette's syndrome (TS) share some common features, including the phenomenology of sensations relieved by movements, but few studies have examined the links between RLS and TS. We examined RLS and other TS comorbidities in 144 probands with TS or chronic tics and their parents. RLS was present in 10% of probands and 23% of parents with no gender differences. RLS in probands was linked significantly to maternal RLS but not paternal RLS, suggesting that a maternal RLS factor may contribute to the variable expression of TS.
