Erika Hallerman (Cary, North Carolina)

Restless legs syndrome began to chronically affect my life just over three years ago. Confirming a diagnosis was a laborious process that required a great deal of patience and persistence. It is easy to become a victim of this neurological disease. I’ve lost count of the number of sleepless nights and have spent many days wondering why I was chosen to suffer in such a way.

There is currently no cure for RLS, so I knew that learning to live with it was my only option. I tried to find a support group along the way but was unsuccessful. The battle to live a better quality of life was much more difficult than I anticipated. After finally discovering the resources embedded in the RLS Foundation, I decided to start a support group in North Carolina.

The focus of my life has been to find a way to live a more comfortable life and help those who suffer with this condition during the process. Most days are hard work for me, but at the end of the day, the struggle is worth the challenge. I hope to share my strength with those who suffer from RLS.
