Misdiagnosis and Restlessness
RLS sleep disorder causing night-time leg sensations often misdiagnosed: A common but relatively unknown
sleep-related disorder called Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is often misdiagnosed.
The typical symptoms are night-time tingling, crawling, or burning sensations in the legs,
with the irresistable urge to move the legs.
This need for leg movement leads to tossing and turning, or getting up out of bed,
all of which interferes with the ability to fall asleep.
The sufferer then has the typical symptoms of sleep deprivation during the day: fatigue, tiredness,
morning headaches, irritability, poor concentration and so on.
This condition is sometimes misdiagnosed as other conditions
such as ADHD, sleep disorders, other causes of insomnia, or other causes of leg tingling.
Many patients also suffer from a related disorder called
Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), which causes leg spasms
or other jerky movements.
See introduction to RLS or introduction to PLMD....read more »

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Restlessness.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long has the restlessness been present? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- What is the age of the person with restless behavior? - Causes of restless behavior vary with age.
- Is there a simple explanation for the restlessness? - e.g. sleep problems, insomnia, boredom, impatience, anxiety and nervousness may cause restlessness.
- Family and environmental factors? - e.g. risk factors for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and conduct disorders in children include disrupted childhood care, social disadvantage, lack of warm caring family, family violence (physical or sexual abuse) and antisocial peer group exposure.
- Past medical history? - Many physical disorders may be associated with restlessness including hyperthyroidism, brain damage, cluster headache, croup, liver failure and Alzheimer's disease.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)
Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse
your condition.
The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Restlessness) may include:
- Symptoms of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? - e.g. impulsive over activity, restlessness, irritability, poor concentration and school learning problems.
- Symptoms of lead poisoning? - e.g. reduced appetite, nausea, vomiting, blue line on the gums, constipation, abdominal cramps and restless hyperactive behavior. In severe cases it may cause eventual seizures and impaired consciousness.
- Symptoms of Bipolar disorder? - e.g. episodes of depression (often psychotic in intensity) and at other times episodes of psychotic excitement (mania or hypomania). Symptoms of psychotic excitement may include elevation of mood, hyperactivity, grandiose ideas, irritability, disinhibition (which affects social, sexual and financial behavior), rapid speech and racing thought, delusions (persecutory or grandiose) and sometimes hallucinations.
- Symptoms of anxiety? - e.g. nervousness, shakiness, tremor, restlessness, hyperactivity, irritability, insomnia, poor concentration, heart palpitations, racing heart, sweating, dizziness, diarrhea, lump in throat and frequency of urination.
- Symptoms of depression? - e.g. depressed mood, crying spells, anhedonia (loss of interest or pleasure), increase or decrease in appetite (usually decreased), weight loss or gain, insomnia or increased sleeping (usually early morning waking), fatigue, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, feelings of excessive guilt, poor concentration, difficulty making decisions, low libido, thoughts of death or suicide attempt. Some depressed people exhibit marked agitation and restlessness which may take the form of poorly organized but purposeful activities, in which the person starts the same activity frequently, becomes distracted, starts an alternative activity, and so on.
