Hereditary?

Is RLS hereditary? My grandmother gets it quite bad and so do i, mostly when tired but it is so annoying. Hers is much worse, does it get worse as you get older i wonder?

Re: Hereditary?

Yes RLS can be inherited, mine is from my father, i have a brother who also has it
So, my father had the RLS gene and passed it on to me and my brother. But so far, my daughter and son havent shown any RLS symptoms, one or both could have inherited the RLS gene from me, but it hasnt been triggered. It can jump a generation from what i understand.
