Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I'm not sure what you need us to do. Please post here on the board. The reason no one responds personally is so that all readers or members can benefit from the information. Please let us know more about what you are looking for. In the meantime, some of the best advice we have is in this section (N...

One of the nice things about this board is that you can post without logging in. I will let the system adminstrator know you are having problems. In the meantime, just post without logging in. Use the same name as your user name if possible, and sign your post so we know it is you.

Sherry, if you go to the link provided in the text, it will show you name of the product. SJ personally likes a specific brand name product, called Lima Plus. She or her husband is a distrubutor of this same product.

I'm sorry no one responded. Were you able to see if anything was listed on the RLS Website? The only one I found was listed for St. Rose. I don't have any idea if this is close to you or not. Here is the information. m If this is not close to you, maybe you'd be interested in starting a chapter in y...

So sorry your husband is dealing with RLS. He's lucky to have you hunting down information for him. And, there is a lot of great information here. If you go to the New to RLS? section, there are two "sticky" threads that have great information. The RLS Foundation part of the site also has many artic...

You have a great point, Becat. While it is great for us to get money, heavens knows that research that benefits US, those with RLS, and not the companies that makes RLS products, is most likely to occur through grants from the Foundation. It is important for market research to occur in order for the...

I really can't say, but it doesn't sound like the RLS I have or read about others having. Have you looked at the criteria? There is no test for RLS except the answers to these questions: Do you have strange/uncomfortable/painful or other sensations in your body parts? Is this feeling/sensation relie...

Hmm, maybe we could get the Foundation to spring for avatar posting? That would be cool, wouldn't it? Then we could post real pics. . . or not. It's for the reader to decide which is the case.

Michelle, there is a link in that they are both movement disorders, and both occur because of a problem in the same part of the brain, the subtantia nigra. Other than that, to my knowledge there is no link, but it sort of makes sense that there would be because they share an issue with dopamine in t...

I sure wish I could help. All I know is that dialysis and RLS often go hand in hand. The best thing I can think of is to try Jill's site, the RLS rebel. There is a link to it in this post: m Hope this helps some. As far as I know, none of our regulars are on dialysis. I did a quick search and only f...

Do you mean a local support group? Some of our members are support group leaders, so they could tell you about that.

Neph, so glad you stopped by. Like so many others, I sure do miss your witty self, but am sure happy you have no need of us. And, thank you, more than you can know, for publicly caring. Glad to hear about people's Christmas celebrations. Ruby, you must be so thrilled. I'll throw in my thoughts for a...

Hey, Kisster, it's nice to see you jumping right in and posting all over, reading old threads, etc. Welcome. Wow, I don't think I ever put it together, but I had a period awhile ago where I had a LOT of bruising. I commented to my DH about it, saying I must have early senility because I didn't even ...

A new member, Kisster, wrote about disability in another thread. Her boyfriend has had some direct experience.

Maybe some of this info helps, too, or you could contact her for information about her experience.

Lyndarae, I can hear the joy in your words - how nice to have this in your life. It must feel so wonderful to be validated after all those years of being told something else. I know of only two people who were successful in getting disability for RLS, but that was from the government for SSI, I thin...
