Hard to answer about RLS, Ellen. We know there is more than one way to get to PD, and all of us above and below the PD umbrella didn't have the same symptoms to get there/here. My own opinion is that for some RLS is a precursor-at least it is in my case. I inherited it from my father. Could it be that if it appears in youth it is a precursor and if it appears after diagnosis it is the result of changes due to the disease? I have to tell you, you offer an interesting family history. Have you taken our survey? If you have, I hope you included this information for the data sheets.
