It *can* be connected. But they don’t really understand all of the potential causes so everyone has different responses to treatment like that. For some people an iron supplement or magnesium supplement “cures” them. Then some others just massage their legs and take hot baths or exercise. Some take Gabapentin or dopamine agonist (I may be saying that wrong) and it works. Then people like me on opioids, (but not just any opioid, oxycodone seems most well established in studies) 🤷♀️ a big mystery overall since those are all so different.
I hadn't heard this... Low iron and RLS have a connection?
