Bullied as a kid because of RLS
When you were a kid, did you experience bullying because of RLS? How can we support kids who are living with RLS?
Thankfully, I only experienced pains at night and didn't have any issues in the daytime so I wasn't bullied for my RLS.
According to www.RLS.org In the United States alone, RLS is believed to afflict an estimated 1.5 million children and adolescents. Although most research has focused on adults, RLS symptoms often begin during childhood or adolescence.
About 35% of patients report RLS onset prior to age 20, and one in ten report that the syndrome appeared during the first decade of life.
