Sunday, February 21

Welcome today to

wacomme, who would like to discuss RLS in more depth.

and to

Fizzbin317, who takes oxycodone and clonazepam because Fizz's RLS is so bad that going the opiod route was the only option.

Please take a look around and then feel free to join any discussions or post a note asking any questions.

Thursday, February 25

Welcome today to

Marlilynjb1, who has just been diagnosed with RLS after completing a sleep study. She meets with the doctor next week to discuss treatment and is concerned about drug side effects.

Take a look around and please post a note introducing yourself and asking whatever questions you need. We have all been in your position and will have lots of suggestions about what you should discuss with your doctor.

and

desertnightdancer, who has had RLS since age 5 and is now dealing with the frustration of augmentation after 15 years on meds, She is looking for support, wisdom, and the experience of fellow RLS//WED strugglers and night-dancers.

After taking a look around, please feel free to post a note telling us about your current situation and what sort of information that might help.

and to

cleartrueblue, who says to be so sleepy, yet so tortured with the need for constant movement that sleep is not possible. He can't imagine life without Mirapex.

If there are any questions that you have, please feel free to post a note and ask away.

Sunday 28 February

Welcome today to:

Pedantic - who feels despair and is suffering greatly from the symptoms of RLS with a doctor who doesn't appear to understand how to treat RLS.

Please post, if you start a thread with the information that you listed as your 'reason to join' we will try to help.
In the meantime - it is correct that anti depressants can cause a negative impact on RLS but many of us are taking ADs and not all of the ADs cause a major problem to everyone.
