Should people With RLS Symptoms Ever Be Treated for RLS, if they Have no Genetic Predisposition?

Answer 1

On the whole, once restless leg syndrome becomes symptomatic enough, it merits treatment.

Remember, RLS is more than just an annoyance when you're awake; it can, and does, often disturb sleep sufficiently to induce daytime drowsiness, or impair ability to react to a rapidly changing situation--like driving in busy traffic.

Genetic disposition or not, once the disease begins to cause significant interference with activities of daily living, treatment needs considered. Here, as with all other disease processes, the potential risks must be carefully weighed against the expected benefits, and the risk vs. benefit evaluation merits periodic reassessment.

Answer 2

RLS? Do you mean Restless Leg Syndrome or something else? If so, why not treat?

Answer 3

You're really not making sense.

If someone has RLS, you treat it, whether or not their DNA says they have it or not. It's a clinical diagnosis and does not require knowing the DNA composition.

Answer 4

RLS should be evaluated by there doctor as it may be a side effect to other medications they may be on. For example psycotropic meds can cause RLS.
