Hey PB,

I have really thought about it before. I would like to go to the Cherokee reservation for a healing, but have chickened out every time.

But, hmmmmmmmm maybe. LOL

Hugs to you PB

Thank you Aiken. There are several celebs that have this I know of 3 that come to mind. Keith Obberman (sp?) Of MSNBC or was? Brit Hume of Fox News Corben Bersen and his wife, and they both have seen and worked with Dr. B. on media and it went no where. Took me forever to even find the interview. I'...

Ok, since no one can read everything or seem to let it be, the thread is locked. I believe I asked Nice several times. DO NOT START A NEW THREAD TO WHINE, CRY, OR CARRY THIS ON IT WILL BE DELETED.

Hi Julianne, Yes I have been officially diagnosed, first by myself through medical libraries, then by an expert (known) in the field of RLS. Mine is genetic from both parents, yeah. And it's painful, like the growing pains I had all my life when I was younger, til my late teens or early 20's. What y...

Ok, Kids ENOUGH! Let's go back to simply talking, can we? Ann, yes names of disorders and things like RLS are changed when it's needed. The whole idea that they can't change it because of research is bunk. The PR person I have in the family and has worked in the field for 20+ yrs., says that normall...

Thanks Memaw! I thought that it would be a good print out for the uneducated docs, at the very least. I knew we all know more than they about what sleep deprivation does to our lives, but some days every bit helps. I had to giggle at myself for even posting it, but it's worthy. Hugs to you and the f...

Nadia I'm so glad to hear that it is nothing more serious. That is a relief in itself. The cost of testing is high and hard on your body as well, I know, but to know for sure that all is just a muscle spasm is so much better for the heart and mind. Ok, 16 little girls? Have fun!

10 Reasons Not to Skimp on Sleep

10 Reasons Not to Skimp on Sleep

From the US News magazine. Most of this we already know, more so than I think we let on, even with the docs. However, it's a quick and informative read.

Hi Gill, You know I don't know if anyone has mentioned this to you, but I'm going to again if so. I think it would be great if you found someone closer to you, that could really be more hands on, about your docs, making sure they have the best and up to date information, and certainly some hands on ...

Ann, might I add that the case study they use for this course needs to be a bit more explained to your docs. If they are going to watch this at some point they will show a video of a man (with night vision, like in a sleep study camera) that is trying to get comfy enough to fall off to sleep. Now ha...
