Thought Ruby and PB would like to know that it paid off to be seated painfully on a plane last night. Without knowing it, I scored a nice donation from a great guy I was sitting next to. All I did was explain RLS and tell him about our fund raiser....and a few of our stories. LOL, then we had a snac...

Sorry Mack I didn't see this before I posted mine.

He will be missed and was truly a champion for us all.

A nice man with a heart of gold in my book.

Hi Barbee, I have little to add, because most of the good advice has been offered. I got caught by the fact that your doc is uneducated. If you and your doc have a good relationship and she is WILLING to learn then you could have a good chance with her. The materials are all here to help her, if she...

Miss Aussie Mate of ours, I would not tell you not to go off if you really felt like that is what is needed. I will keep the moon overly filled if you do though....... I have to agree with Ann, since most pain meds come in good generic forms I do not understand what the medical authorities have agai...

Hey Momo, Gosh I would be jumping for joy if I could hit that high in my own ferritin. I think mine was around 6 last time we checked it, early this yr.. Unless something came out this yr at one of the National meetings and it's all changed up, 50 mcg/L would be the best place to start for most RLSe...

Your welcome Miss Charlene,

It really has been gross, but so helpful I will not give it up.

This is a great thing for those of us that get caught with allergies and infections, oh the flu.....we'll see if it help there, but hopefully, later on that one.

Hugs Lynne

The Passing of one heck of a champion for RLSers everywhere

Sadly I wanted all to know that one of our community's best Doctors has passed. Dr. Wayne Henning. He was so nice, smart, and so very approachable, willing to talk share and answer questions. It's a sad passing for all of us at he Foundation and most certainly a great loss to the community. To read ...

Heather I love your ribbon, wanted to say that before this. Suzanne Summers just said on Hannity and Colmes, I was listening while cleaning, that "they have a drug for everything now, like Restless Legs, come on!" She should be aware and I made sure the new program will be in the future. A...

See I think this is interesting. I hate for my knees to touch, skin to skin. Pressure or not, even paper would give my brain a break about them touching. I thought it was my problem or my family for the longest time, but having been around here for 4+ yrs, it's not just me or mine. Even my sister in...

PB thank you for the support and the huge golden heart you show everytime your here. Like you, this board has been a God send to me. Supporting the Foundation is one way to pay it all back, or forward.......as we know and sadly, more new people find out this has a name everyday. It's just awesome to...
