Corrie that is true. Pam please forgive my assumptions.

The doses could be the right thing over all, since this is a extended release form of medication.

Sorry.

WAM, I'm sorry. I do know your pain though. Why not a pain clinic? If you can get an educated doc or one willing to learn, why not? LOL, the english thing. SO UN PC, but true. Helpful to understand the doc speaking to you. Yup, neuro don't like pain meds.....been proven too many times here on this b...

I finally found it! Yahoo........

This was done with Dr. B. and Corbin Bersen and his wife. No, I have no idea how to spell the actors name today. Sorry!

Wish the foundation could have had them, but at least the National Sleep Foundation got it.

Hey Miss LB, Wished I had made it to chat earlier last night, but was so glad you logged on. Yes, I think many of us "hide" what our lives at home can be like. I hope your friends get it better than mine did. But it is hard for so many people to believe that you don't sleep and "your ...

Hi Pam, Glad to chat with you last night in the chat room. You know, I'm not a doc.....having said that 4 mgs is just above what the max should be in the minds of most of our experts. Good Gosh to be started out at 2 mgs is just so removed from what we all have been taught here, WOW. Max should be 3...

HI John, I wanted to tell you that I was shocked that Dr. B., when asked about stopping a dopamine med cold turkey, he said that was the way to go, but with some meds to help. Many of us that have stopped it in the past have had a really hard time like Pup, and even thought ourselves maybe this shou...

Hi Ladybug, Hope my dear, it lives here in every post you read. I know there are some hard stories here, it's not an easy disorder/illness/whatever you want to call it, but it is doable. I think many of us have been in that boat, as one of our members here once said: floating in the middle of the oc...

Hi Pup, I'm so sorry to hear that this is where your doc has left you. I'm not a doc and have no formal medical training, but I have had RLS all my life and been apart of this board and the Foundation for 4+ yrs. I'm 44. Most people would never be at a 8mg a day for RLS, so he out of his mind. Our c...

Ann that is right, he was so nice. Very interesting to talk to, because he asked questions about our community, the foundation, and even the research end of it. He not only was fun to talk to, about many subjects. He was working on his own work for most of the flight, but at some point he must have ...

Hi there babe! I have been there, sick kids, no rest and what was a part time job, I didn't know I had something called RLS at the time, but not sure it would have mattered then. Some days we all have our fair share of TOO MUCH ON OUR PLATES. I'd love to throw my plate at the wall sometimes, but it ...
