I also entirely agree with you cumoneileen. It is the first step in getting RLS known to many more thousands of the general public. Next could be all the Radio and TV Stations around the country, then Universities, Doctors and Nursing Associations, Medical Teaching Hospitals and Colleges, medical related 'Blogs' and Websites and even schools and teachers Associations as I am sure there are thousands of pupils who are affected by RLS and are being catergorised as ADHD and other behaviour misfits.

If parents, Doctors, Nurses and Teachers are not aware there is such an illness as RLS, children can not be diagnosed with it! Maybe even Psychologists and Psychiatrists are also not aware of RLS.

One thing that is very important is that we need a standard agreed statement descibing RLS and the RLS-UK Charity so whoever is communicating with any of the above are 'on the same page' and not confusing or contradicting anyone.
