Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Oh no i Know better than to take that. But something would be nice to have I do admit this is very depressing.

The Dr. I seen was one I got off this board Sawlani and the neuro. here in chicago (Park Ridge Office) is Dr. Rubenstein. STAY AWAY FROM THESE SO CALLED DOCS. if your in the chicago area.

That is exactly what the office manager said when she called. She seen that I had seen 2 other docs. and was trying to get narcotics. Now I'm scared to even go to another doc. because of what they may have written in my records, I wish I could get whatever they wrote removed. They could do a darn bl...

A month or so back I was on my way to the hosp. for my legs (I HAVE THE RLS W/PAIN LUCKY ME) and fell asleep at the wheel and totaled my car and a light pole, the city is making me pay for, thank God no one but me was injured.
