Lisa Marie Smith (Brazoria County, Texas)

Looking back over the years, I realize that restless legs syndrome has been a part of my life since I was a young girl. Simple, every day activities such as car rides, going to the movies, sitting in class, or lying in bed trying to sleep were challenging for me.

I didn’t understand what was happening, why I felt like I wanted to jump out of my skin, why I couldn’t just be still, why no one around me seemed to have these same problems.

Through the years, the RLS slowly progressed to the point that I am now taking medication three times a day just to cope with the symptoms.

There have been times I felt like no one in the world could possibly understand what I was feeling, but through the RLS Foundation I have learned that there are others who suffer just as much, others who understand what I’m going through. I want to help those who are struggling with RLS by providing information, guidance, and resources to help them cope. I want to be an encourager and a support that they can turn to.
