Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Discussion Board

I get a Google Alert for anything related to RLS/WED. Today's? This one from Yorkshire Live, what I assume is the online version of the newspaper(s) serving the Yorkshire area in England. The title was, "Symptoms in your legs and arms that are worse at night linked to rare condition."

RARE?????? Seriously?

It doesn't even actually say what that actual rate is. Then it goes on to say, "syndrome can be managed with just a few minor lifestyle adjustments in patients with no further underlying issues." OMG!

Ugh. I really dislike it when publications can't do their due diligence enough to get the basics right.

It is an embarrassment to see such an article. The writer letting themselves down with their lack of research. Not the first time i have made a written complaint to the respective newspaper/magazine/journal.with regard to such disrespect to their readers. I never get a response but i do get it off my chest.

I was so mad when I read it! Between the laziness of the author to the editor who didn't do ANY diligence on the article. Ugh.

I read that one! I got so angry I had to close it and move on. I forget what else it said - - not just the title was bad
