Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

Penquin~
Thankyou for your Thread and your words, you inspire me!

Today was good.
Although my yesterdays were filled with being alone with RLS
Today and beyond I know I will never be alone again.

Love to all.

I would like to add some insight to what it is like to be afraid to talk to the Dr. not knowing how too, the fear of being dismissed or not listened too? the fear of the meds that don't always sound too effective or side effects that sound worse than the RLS! L...

Jan penguin becat Once again you astound me with your kindness to respond. Some day I hope to be as insightful and helpful to others as you all have been to me!
