Hi potatocaks,

From the above posting by the Chair the Medical Alert Card is available to members of RLS-UK. A membersip form can be downloaded from the RLS-UK site should you be interested in joining.

Thank you for your feedback.

While we are aware that many people will not be familiar with RLS we would hope that nobody would laugh at the card or its intentions. To do so would be a poor reaction to someone who is asking for help.

RLS-UK is a registered charity in the UK. Charities are monitored and regulated by the Charity Commission, a government body. Therefore our referencing of our charity number on the card will be seen by most people in the UK as an endorsement of the card, of RLS-UK and of RLS itself.

The situation regarding Foundations in the USA may be different and they may not be as heavily regulated as charities are in the UK.

We continue to hope that the card helps people with RLS and have been asked by many of our UK members to produce it. Hopefully it will be treated with the respect it deserves!

Lovely feedback, thank you!

Hi knitknax58,

Although we are a registered charity in England and Wales, we have many supporters in Scotland and Northern Ireland and I expect they would be able to use the medical alert card to exactly the same extent.

If you wish to become a member to receive this card, please visit rls-uk.org where you can download and complete a membership form.

I am sorry to hear that you had an awful night. I hope you did not have any commitments this morning and were able to have a decent few hours sleep from 6 am onwards.
