Today we welcome:

lisamc - whose symptoms are getting worse, has no real sleep, and wants to be informed before going to a scheduled sleep clinic appointment.
autumn7777 - who has severe WED/RLS and has a problem with a medication, any suggestions would be welcome.

Please share with us your journeys with WED and how you have been coping, we will do what we can to help and to point you in the right direction. We are all sufferers, none of us are doctors, what we have is our own experience of dealing with our own symptoms.
