"Can restless legs be a symptom of Parkinson's?
Patients with Parkinson disease (PD) often show restless legs syndrome (RLS), leg motor restlessness (LMR) and other leg restlessness (OLR) related to sensorimotor symptoms."
"In fact, one of the leading possibilities as the cause of RLS and for which there is good scientific evidence and much research is a form of iron-transport abnormality in the brain. In effect, RLS patients may have low levels of iron in brain nerve cells—just the opposite of some portions of the brain in PD."
