Who is your doctor there, if you don't mind saying? It sounds like you finally ended up with someone familiar with Earley (& Allen)'s work.Leslie wrote: He also warned me that even though its been 3 weeks without Ropinirole, I still have a few more weeks ahead of me where he said I shouldn't be surprised about some small "bumps in the road."
He ended the visit saying that I have been through HELL and made it out alive. And that I should be really proud of myself. I thought that was super sweet of him.
Anyway, I've been having trouble keeping up on the board, I know I responded to you once (I mentioned that the marijuana could be causing your anxiety) but I have re-read your story here just now and kept crying at parts of it. It's so terrible that people are still going through this, the hell of augmentation and withdrawal, 25 years after the problem was first described (by Richard Allen!), and on top of that, people thinking RLS is a made-up disease. Argh! It's frustrating and bitterly sad. I'm glad you made it through and I hope with all my heart that you're doing well.
