After trying numerous drug regimes for Restless Leg Syndrone and either being nauseas or too sleepy to function plus no relief I was desperate. Someone suggested I should be checked for Anemia....I bought this book and started taking Iron on my own within 10 days ALL Symtons of RLS had completely disappeared. This book really helps the lay person understand Anemia.
