Hi everybody,
I'm from the Netherlands and here is almost nothing available about RLS.
The doctor told me to live with RLS he couldn't do anything.
It sometimes really drives me crazy! At that point i would choop of my legs..
Is there anyone who has a solution??
Holland? RLS, Any one who had it but now not anymore?

I think I would gather all the info I could, like my friend suggested but then I would go to a different doctor. Try a neurologist or just call around to see who knows about RLS. Even if they aren't an "expert", if they are willing to do research then give them a try. Sounds like your doctor is lazy or doesn't believe you. Don't waste your time there.

RLS in Holland
Hi dropkick, I'm from Holland.
If you need a RLS-specialist, you can mail me privately on jjalgera@xs4all.nl
I have severe RLS and I agree: the best thing is to read the international boards, but we have one too: www.stichting-restless-legs.org.nl
So now there are 2 of us on this board from such a small country!
