Just an update on me..I have found a great Dr!!! Dr. S. Bhat. He is well versed with RLS/WED and asked all the right questions and I highly reccomend him. He is with JFK Hosp. neuroscience in Edison NJ. Well, I am doing much better. My understanding of the medications has helped me ratchet down my e...

Re: Venting on the attitude of my(soon to be former) Drs.
Update: I have been off Mirapex now for 3 weeks. I did re-try some of previous medications in the interim however whether it be my head or my body, they were not successful for me. My current WED medication is Vicoden 7.5-750, I take it no more than 3 times a day. I sleep at night, up to 5 hours, an...

Re: Venting on the attitude of my(soon to be former) Drs.
I will do that search. I think I have done it before, but my memory, LOL. Its the strangest thing and when I have mentioned it to Drs, my experience was they wanted to treat it as not part of my WED. Like they did when they gave me anti-depressants along with Mirapex, OUCH! My husband and I think me...

Re: Venting on the attitude of my(soon to be former) Drs.
Thanks all. I appreciate the advice and the support. Because I had little to no meds, I was suffering so and I stepped back and dug through my magic bag of pills, LOL, and took some ropinerole for a few days. This has set me back phyically and mentally and its upsetting because I was doing so well o...

Re: True friends
I was just thinking about this very subject and wanted to post a shout out to all those who stand by us and here was this thread. I am on my second marriage of 11 years now. I was diagnosed about five years ago and I have said it before, I did not realize then the extent to which my life was going t...

Re: Venting on the attitude of my(soon to be former) Drs.
Thank you : ) GP told me to eat red meat at least 3 X per week to increase iron and find someone who knows about WED. I would have been very happy to take this advice 4 years ago. Soooo frustrated. Working it out. Have a good night and I will try to do the same. Need to try and shut it down. Haven't...

Blood ferritin serum level documentation?
Can anyone point me to a credible source, (that is in print or that I could print) that indicates the correct blood ferritin serum level for a person who has RLS/WED? I was just tested and my result was 60. From what I have read, this is okay. I am not seeing any where that the level should be at ab...

Re: Venting on the attitude of my(soon to be former) Drs.
Feeling like all I do is whine about how $h1TTy I feel. How this is no kind of life. Telling my husband how I have thoughts of being done. I have been looking at photos of my self from about 5 years ago. I am startled by the difference. Where once I was such a giving of heart kind of person and trie...

What do you collect?

Re: Venting on the attitude of my(soon to be former) Drs.
It has been a productive day here in NJ...I am feeling good, so far. I made an appointment with the New Jersey Neuroscience Institue in North Jersey where Dr Arthur Walters practiced. He was one of the Drs that Dr B reccomended. Although he is no longer there, I will be seeing someone from the group...
