Default Willis Ekbom Disease

Restless Leg Syndrome is heretofor known as Willis Ekbom Disease. I am so glad they changed this name. I do think they need a public information campaign.

Any one who suffers from this disease is likely relieved at the name change. I just got so tired of the ridicule the old name engendered. It's not a 'funny' condition, it is miserable. I find it ironic that people with 'restless leg' need an antiparkisonian drug to manage the disease, but, yet, the disease was ridiculed. No one would dare to ridicule Parkinson's disease.
