Whether new to RLS or new to the site, we welcome you and invite you to share your history and experiences with RLS/WED, introduce yourself, and ask questions. Successful treatment starts with a solid understanding of this disease.
I thought it might be interesting chatting with others who suffer from RLS live. Let me know if anyone has tried that chat room.
All the best....

Try to make others laugh or smile and try to have a laugh once a day. Try to keep on going even if its a bad day of pain. Don't give up keep pushing and smiling.
No one stops in at scheduled times. Often, though, people will make a post and say, hey, I'm heading in or will be there from x to x time. It helps to give your time zone! I'm not a chatter, but lots of other people are. One of the problems is that we all do come from different time zones.
Once you know who some of the chatters are, you can also PM or email them when you are wanting to talk. People have done that and I've always gone in if I am home and have the time.
For awhile, some of us tried using the Yahoo Messenger. I kept forgetting to log in, though, so for me it wasn't very useful! But, that is another option - we could all get some kind of Messenger account and share our names. Then we'd know when others were online and could shoot a quick message saying we wanted to chat in the chat room.

I like the idea of sharing somehow so we will know when others are on. I tried using the messenger tonight to reply to a post fro Becat, and when I pushed "send", I was told the server was unavailable...very frustrating, or I need some instruction in how to communicate better on line. thanks.
