Would be great to have some kind of "index" like that as when I first found the site I found it a bit difficult to find the information I was looking for. It can be a bit off putting when you have to click randomly instead of going directly to the information area you want. By the time I had finished clicking on various areas I was completely lost lol
Hi Yikes, you really are throwing yourself into this. It is great to see. Thank you so much.
It would be absolutely GREAT if we had an index down the side like the Thyroid UK forum. That forum has a HUGE following. I am on that forum too so "popped"over to see what they are up to. Soooooo much easier to manage, especially for newbies looking for help and support. Ok, so I can "muddle" through on our RLS forum but I always remember how it was before which was very much better. It is a shame to go backwards, we should be going forwards! We definitely do not want to discourage newbies from posting on ours. If the Thyroid UK forum has this "tidy and easy to navigate" format and Admin agree would it not be easy to put in place on the RLS forum...?
Thank you, once again, Yikes, for your perseverance, you are a star.
So relieved to hear that you found this forum when you did, Yikes and that Nightdancer was logged in too. She has helped many on here. She is overflowing with up-to-date information on RLS. So good to hear that others were also there for you when you truly needed them. You will not forget them all, in a hurry. You look after yourself and keep up the good work.

Good to hear you got the advise and support you needed at the time Yikes. I agree with Kaarina, Nightdancer is great for info on RLS, she has been helping many many people for alot of years, not just on here.

RLS has been my night life for so long and it went without
a name for me until 2 yrs ago when I found this site...so
I am trying to dig as deep as she did in knowing what my
options are. I am especially into the physical therapy and
chiropractic approach, along with acupressure, diet and
exercises.
In finding those things, I never know how far is too far to share
on here. I cannot accurately confirm some of those theories..
I do know and believe that diet, stretching those hip flexors
really does help. Web MD has the very best demonstrations
of how to do that.. It's to loosen tight hips because if you sit
a lot, the flexors get very, very tight...(where the leg meets the
body - upper thigh muscles.. It keeps my hips so flexible and
I can go on and on about the release of the tension there..the
way that it makes my leg muscles relax..
Check with your doctor if it's okay if you can do these things.
Not any of it is hard to do and it just takes seconds to do them.
My lower back, my hinder, my thighs love the feeling. =D
In another forum, one lady squeezes her buns together...and
holds that position for 15 seconds- then she releases.. it
gets her through the day at work and she does it during meetings.
Imagine watching someone do that in front of the coffee machine
I found the site quite easy to use thank you (assuming I am doing it right!). Your suggestion for sub-headings as shown in the example sounds good and would be very helpful. I agree with other comments, you are doing a great job on here and I am so pleased I found you guys. Keep up the good work.
