What kind of stuff do you want to see from this blog?

If there is anything specific you would like me to cover, please let me know in asks, comments, or reblogs. I'm thinking about doing a post on animal symbolism within different cultures, so if that's something you'd be interested in, let me know and if you'd like, I'll make a tag list either for that one post, or for all future posts.

Expanding on my post on my main blog

(@written-by-jayy), about RLS

So before posting this, despite having RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome), there is still much for me to learn about it. I'll be crediting any articles, posts, etc. in the comments (please don't hesitate to add on in comments, reblogs, or asks if I missed anything, or if you have any questions. If I'm able to verify them as true, I'll add them onto this and credit you and link your post/account in the comments. Thank you!). Anyway, without further ado...

RLS has no known cause or cure, though there are ways of providing relief for yourself. Some of which include: apply heating or cooling pack, moderate exercise, massage, warm bath, iron supplements, etc.

RLS is a diagnosed neurological disorder that causes feelings and sensations such as aching, burning, itching, cramping, etc., primarily in the legs but can also occasionally occur in the arms, chest, and neck.

This disorder must be diagnosed by a professional, but some signs and symptom/affects include "A strong and often overwhelming urge to move your legs that is often associated with abnormal, unpleasant, or uncomfortable sensations"-1. Along with difficulty sleeping, frustration (this one's a personal addition. It causes very much frustration for me :]), etc.

Bending, stretching, massaging, pacing, etc. are all ways of providing temporary relief-2, as well as what I previously mentioned.

Some other things to note about RLS:

Can happen at any time of the day but is worst at evening and night or during rest or inactivity

SYMPTOMS ARE DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE AFFECTED. NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE SYMPTOMS I LISTED AND NOT EVERYONE WILL FIND RELIEF FROM THE METHODS I INCLUDED

ADDITIONALLY, MANY PEOPLE AFFECTED LIKELY FIND RELIEF OR HAVE SYMPTOMS THAT I DID NOT MENTION SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED ANY

There is not a test for RLS, so it is diagnosed with a doctor's evaluation

Before trying medicine or supplements to help, please talk to your health care provider

Again, if I missed anything please add on or let me know so I can update this and credit you! Thank you!
