Guest is me again Jan. Oh and I would like to also mention I was on medication but neuro took me off it and is sending me to a movemet specialist as she thinks I have something more than just rls since I have pain, numbness, and whole body jerks.

In the RLS/PLMD Yahoo forum, a woman is looking for someone in the Washinton DC area to participate in case study regarding RLS and massage. If anyone lives in the area, this could be a great opportunity to get 8 or so weeks of free massage and possibly really help the RLS. It is on this forum: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RLS_PLMD/ You do need to be a member to post.

It seems to be working like a dream - I am in heaven. Now I have only tried it once so far, but if last night was any indication and I think I have finally found something that works for me. I went to bed and slept without even moving until 2 am and then was able to get right back to sleep. I am certainly hoping this keep up.

Here's to another good night's sleed. :D :P

So happy for you Josiejo, keep us posted. If I lived close to WDC I'd be volunteering! Hazel
