looking for a RLS melbourne, australia

Hi

I've just joined and I'm so glad to get some information for my mum who has severe RLS. We are having trouble finding a good specialist and wondered if anyone had contacts in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for your time.

Good luck. There's nobody in New Zealand but some younger GPs know about RLS. I was lucky to find one.

A GP can be wonderful if you can educate them and they are willing to kearn. The link in my signature would be a good start for guidance.
If you provide some information about your mum's treatment perhaps we could advise. Has she had her ferritin serum checked. It would be best to be up around 100.
Hopefully another member will know of a contact in Melbourne.
