New Members, May 2014 - Welcome!

Post by ViewsAskew »

I have an apology to many of our new members. Our system is not doing the job it should be and we were not notified of about fifteen new accounts. I've reviewed them all tonight and approved them. I do not have time right now to list you all - my apologies. I'll try to do that in the next few days.

In the meantime, join in if you're ready. Read posts, ask questions, let us know about you - whatever works for you and helps you.

This weekend, we welcome:

You all either have WED (or have a child with WED) and are looking for information. A few of you have tried things and are at the end of your ropes.

Please post if you are ready. There is a lot of information in the existing posts, too. We're here for you as best we can be.

Welcome on Sunday to Jan Martin, vreijs, aglick57, and slb

You all have WED/RLS and seek help, information, and support. One of you has been taking requip for years with increasing dose and less effect; please read the links under my name, below this post. Augmentation is a worsening of WED/RLS caused by drugs like requip. It can be dealt with.

Today, welcome to Hebdrix - who has severe WED and is augmenting; wants to hear of alternative solutions and to connect with others.

Please tell us more - start your own post and let us know what you've been taking and what you have taken. We may have some suggestions.

Welcome today to:

clmurrell - who has WED/RLS and is seeking support.

And indeed, seeking support is what brought most of us here. Tell us a little about yourself and your history of dealing with WED, ask questions and we will do our best to help.
