Welcome to Tynk, who is looking for more information and support on how to live with RLS.
And, welcome to LucyBrown, who's just discovered the TENS is helping and wants to share about it while also learning about other people's experiences with drug therapies.
If you'd like, start a thread in the "Just Joined" section and let us know about your RLS/WED journey and how we can help. Or share your information in any other appropriate section. There is information in the "sticky" posts in most sections, and many of the moderators have links in their signatures that may be helpful.

Re: Just Joined - October 2013
Hello I am new to this site and the Discussion Board but I have had RLS for years. I have been posting on the "Augmentation" Board but I have another problem I need to discuss with someone and I don't know how so I will try here. I registered on the main site And the Discussion Board individually as instructed and everything worked as it should for awhile. But yesterday or the day before that my login for the WE/RLS site would not work so I could not do any research or work on the main site. As you see I can still log on to the Discussion Board
but no dice on the other.
Can someone please help me get on properly.
Thank you\
hercman

Re: Just Joined - October 2013
Hi Hercman- When it comes to logging on to the main Foundation Site I'm afraid it is run quite separately from this discussion board and I can't think of how we could help you log onto it.
Apart from the obvious questions - are you making sure you don't have your Caps Lock on, etc. and I'm sure you've tried all of that.
Alternatively is it the On-Line Community that you have actually signed up to.
But as you have already used the system before with success then you know exactly what you are trying (and failing) to log onto.
There are others here who are more technically minded than myself (sorry about that) and perhaps they will be able to advise you further.
