Re: Introducing Myself

Introducing Myself

Hi. My name is Bill and I am a long time RLS sufferer. It began when I was in knee pants, but occurred very seldom until I was a teenager when it became more often but still not regularly. It began with a growing vengeance when I was 45 years old. At that time, I visited a Doctor/ Researcher at Emor...
