MAY I ADD MY HUGS, TOO, BRADY?
It's Jan
I loved your comment about buying three tickets to the symposium (that is so you Brady)! ROFLMAO!
Please keep us posted. This must be the week for finding new doctors! My family phsician just got a referral for me to see a new neurologist on March 19. She said this one likes to "think outside the box", sooooo, just maybe, this are starting to look up for both of us. I certainly hope so. Especially for you, you friend.
Hey Becat, I'm working on my Q of L statement..........
Love you, Brady (Welcome Jamie--we haven't been introduced!)

Well bloody He!!,
Keep marchin' Brady. I suppose you're just one step away from satisfaction and comfort at last.
Bless your poor wife. I'm glad she can articulate how she feels. My dear husband kept his worries all bottled up and wound up with an ulcer in January. This definitely impacts more than us. We just feel it more intensely.
Finally, there seems to be a light at the end of your tunnel. I'm so relieved. Let us know when you do finally get to see your specialist.
Congratulations?
Jamie

Brady, what a shock to hear Martina's QofL, huh? I remember that PLMD was the begininning of the end of my previous long-term relationship (9 years total, in seperate beds after 3, having separate lives after 6). It's very hard on a relationship when you don't discuss it. . .or deal with it. . . You have an opportunity to deal with it, you're both out in the open and you're in it together. You've heard her and she you and you can honor each other's pain. How lucky you are; you deserve it.

BeFuddled Totally
I am totally befuddled at your post Brady. I can not begin to think about how you felt walking out of that office today. EFFEXOR ? 
This Doc is trying to cover his behind, I can respect that attitutde. I can respect his healthy attempts to not aid another potential problem with medications. I can even respect his strength in sticking to his guns.
But the ignorance of this process is harmful. I should mention which is against the oath he took, to not knowing harm.
Every time he puts you off it's harmful. Every time he wants another opinion, he's buying himself time. Is there someone above his head willing to take responsiblity here? Don't answer that, I know the answer, just wanted to write it.
I know that things are different for you. You can't just run out find a new doc and get the meds..
But I so wanted to hear something different for you and Martina today.
I am just so sorry.
Your right about our spouses Q of L.........what do they suffer with us. Told or not, it's as real as ours. I never knew the half of how my hubby saw this until he joined me at an appt.. Like you, I was shocked to hear the truth in such personal matter, seemingly, in front of strangers. I thought I knew, most of it. I do think, we THINK, we hide this RLS crap, but we can't from everyone.
I doubt many would use it, but you know I would offer a spouses Q of L letter to be attached to our statements. That would make for great reading. It would be sad, hard to hear, and maybe a bit straining........Never the less, good info to include. I'll remember this Brady. I look at my own moments so differently now.
I know how lucky I am. Just plain Lucky.
My heart and prayers and tons of hugs to you and Martina. What a day you've shared. Please tell her for me, us, we're working on the hope thing.

well im not trying to play the synpathy card im just trying to convey a message. i cant help but take my doctors decisions personally. But for the fact that i quickly rectified my driking problem in 1989 and had to correct myselfe once angain in 1999 i would be sleeping soundly. I cant help but beat up on myself for my past addiction. listen ... I view my addiction as a part of my life. A valuable assett. Real life experience.....
I cant help but view my doctor as someone who probably went from highschool to medical school. and fell out of the sky onto one of our bases with about as much REAL LIFE experience as my 2 year old daughter. Seriously he was talking as if I was the BIONIC MAN and they could not rebulid me.
Well i know that this is a managable disorder. I know with my type of RLS I kind of got the EXTRA VALUE meal.
I am however confident that when i return to my specalist in the near future he will prescribe exactly what he did in november 2004.
A TOTAL 360
BUT HEY WHAT A FRICKIN JOURNEY

Hi Everyone! It's been a while since I've jumped in here but I just had to say how much I'm enjoying reading all the post from Brady and the support he's been given. Brady it seems like you've gone through a lot to get right back where you started, but hopefully you'll be better off this time around. I've been a member of this support group for about 2 months now and have really enjoyed all the post. Just wanted to let everyone know I still need the support too and enjoy reading your post.
Thanks for contributing!
