What Is Willis-Ekbom Disease?

I feel like I have tremors inside of my lower body and feels like something is running up and down my body/lower leg, especially when I am lying down. I checked web md and thought it was restless leg, but not sure. Saw a related disease. What is Willis-Ekbon disease? What type of doctor do I need to refer to? A specialist or primary care?
