Bubba, that is not good news for those of you in the DFW area. You might try calling the Foundation to ask them, but I suspect that they do not know anyone else because I have heard them make the statement that there are two RLS doctors in Texas, Dr Becker and Dr Ondo in Houston. You may be facing a...

I have been remotely advising a group of students at Cornell University who have a student project to design a mechanical treatment for RLS. They are familiar with existing produces and are trying to take a slightly different approach. I am not familiar with the details of their design, but they are...

Scooter, welcome to the discussion.

Happy Birthday miki and welcome to the discussion board.

mack, welcome to the discussion board. Your message is in the right category since the nausea is probably not tied to your methadone. Personally, that is not something that I experience so I cannot provide you with any comments. Is this something that you have discussed with your doctor? If it is a ...

Many of us have premonition type symptoms as warnings of RLS that is about to occur. I suspect that these warning symptoms vary from person to person, but since language makes it hard to describe RLS urge feelings to someone who does not have it, I would expect that the same holds true for the warni...
