New RLS Book

[brandy]

I'm not sure if this is where this should go, but I wanted everyone to know that the book about RLS that has been recently published is quite helpful. Restless Legs Syndrome : Relief and Hope for Sleepless Victims of a Hidden Epidemic by Robert Yoakum is up-to-date, informative, incorporates the work of several doctors and provides a great deal of information for those of us who are suffering. I think it is particularly helpful if you are having difficulty getting the care you need from doctors. You can increase your own understanding, as well as have an authoritative resource to bring with you to your doctor to help you facilitate your own treatment. There are some nice appendices in the back that include RLS supports groups listed by states and doctors who are qualified to treat this disorder. I'm not finished with it, yet, but I suggest that anyone who would like to understand this disorder further grab a copy (I got mine from the library, but you can also find it on Amazon.com and in your local bookstore). I'd be happy to hear anyone else's thoughts on the book.
