: Hi, I was wondering if anyone experiences RLS in body parts other than legs and arms, and what kind of feelings you experience. In addition to having RLS in my legs, I have the creepy crawly feeling, aches and twitches in my neck and chest. It is driving me crazy at night and the areas affected seem to be expanding. I'm curious as to whether this is RLS or something else. Anyone have similar experiences?

hi tina,
i have the same thing you are experiencing, and YES it is extremely nerve-wracking, expecially at night. i recently went to a neurologist, and i posted my experince on the neuromuscular diseases board...go check it out, its under "my neuro appt re; muscle twitches"...i thought i had RLS, but i guess there is something called "benign fasciculation syndrome" that can cause the creepy crawly feeling all over the body. good luck.
