Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Thanks Ruby! I'm calling doc today to make another appointment. When I see him, I'll suggest the blood work and possible visit with neuro. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to invite physicians as part of my permanent family, . But, I guess it's important not to be passive when it comes to our healt...

Hi Ruby and Scooby! I thought maybe we could start a daily roll call where we just check in day to day. Talk about anything in general including how we are coping.
