What Causes Involuntary Spasm In The Body While Suffering With Restless Leg Syndrome?
I have had, for some five years, what I was always told was a case of Restless Leg Syndrome -- no cure, the doctors told me but quite bearable, Well, the so-called Leg Syndrome will now, on a nightly basis, send a powerful racking of much of my body into an involuntary spasm not unlike a Grand Mal seizure. It only lasts a minute but what is more disturbing, in that I never lose consciousness, but for these larger seizures, there is a complete identity loss for a couple of seconds.
