Rather than highjack Jarrett622's message on RLS I have another question.

I do not believe that I've ever had RLS (altho' I think my husband has it) but lately I've been having a particular sensation in my legs and it usually occurs when I'm still - lying or sitting. I first get an intense feeling (almost like a deep, deep itch) in one or other leg which lasts for about 2-3 seconds then the leg jerks involuntarily. Usually only one jerk but maybe two. I am getting to know the feeling now and kind of wait for the jerk.

Any connection to RLS or PN (idiopathic)? Just another of many confusing symptoms which have developed over the past ten months.
