Is anyone going to the RLS National Meeting in Long Beach,CA in November. I actually plan to go and would like to hear from anyone else who might go. It would be great to meet and get to know each other. I am going for the Support Group Leader training that runs concurrent with the RLS meeting.

Dear Ruby,
WHERE is the meeting in Long Beach going to be held? It would be convenient if it was in an airport hotel, because I hobble so badly with my goofed-up legs. :oops:

Will physicians be attending and is that what this meeting is for?

It is important that the word gets out to the medical community about this crippling disorder. I don't have any money right now for traveling, as I cannot work, but maybe I will when November rolls around. Or at least can you report back to us what happens? Is there some sort of a club I can join for RLS sufferers or something? What are the California meeting dates and what is on the agenda? Do you have some papers you can post here? Gail

I can't go--husband is getting his master's--money's tight. But, if there's ever a meeting in St. Louis, I'd love to meet everyone. I'd love a report from you!!! Once again, I'm so glad I stumbled onto this site. What a blessing!!!

The meeting will be at the Hilton Long Beach & Executive Meeting Center on Nov 12-13. There will be several speakers covering new discoveries and research as well as several topics such as genetics, augmentation, iron therapy, etc. The fee is $30 before Aug 30 and $40 after. That will cover meeting materials, and breakfast, lunch and reception. You can register on the RLS site. They have also gotten a room rate of $119 per night for attendees. RLS has a quarterly newsletter that is great for general info like this. You need to join the RLS Foundation for $25 and you can get the newsletter as well as several different pamphlets of info. It is well worth the money. You can e-mail the foundation under "contact us" if you have questions about the meeting or getting around. I am pretty sure they could provide you with help in getting from the airport to the meeting. If anyone can't go, either I will copy and mail you info or you may be able to get info sent to you. Try contacting www.rls.org/2004meeting. I'll talk to you all later and see who might be able to go.

I hope you got my private belated e-mail.

I decided to follow your advice and registered at RLS. Due to a glitch I registered 3x with 3 different credit cards.(the first two were apparently not accepted). However, I was notified 3 times by a P.O.

I complained and lois quickly took care of it.

Lots of hugs!

As much as I'd love to be there....it's just a lil too far away!

So, I'm going to have to rely on you guys to fill me in on what happens!
