If you suffer from restless legs syndrome like I have for years and years, you're willing to try almost anything to get relief from your symptoms. Did you know that you can actually get temporary relief from a medical disorder like Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) - just by focusing intensely on something that you really enjoy doing?

There's nothing magical about blogging per say, but it is very true that you can experience temporary RLS relief when you're mentally focused on something other than your creepy, crawly RLS sensations.

One thing I've noticed is that if my attention is diverted by something I really enjoy doing (like blogging), or by an emergency, then my symptoms go away - at least temporarily. For example, lets say my RLS is in high gear and one of my children fall down the stairs, or I hear a loud bang outside the house in the middle of the night. While I rush to take care of the situation or try to figure out what happened outside, my mental energies are completely distracted from my RLS symptoms... and I realize after the fact that my RLS symptoms are relieved (at least temporarily, but long enough to be a noticeable phenomenon).
