Perhaps "IF WE" had a few 10's of thousands of pounds and editorial control, the content would perhaps have been a little more expansive and with medical professionals input. But as a purely awareness programme, thank you Channel 5 and Iconfilms for giving RLS the 40 minute exposure of the syndrome.

This new documentary DOES have that inclusion.

Are you saying that there is a 2nd documentary and this one will have actual doctors that actually treat RLS? That would be NICE.

I think the best thing we can do is use this forum to tell everyone about doctors who are competant to treat RLS. People will travel a long way for help My wife has a unusual disease which can be treated in Australia but by an old and crude process. Hence we are saving for a trip to Germany to a specialist with a good reputation and a modern treatment

If we can identify one good doctor in cities that are spread around then RLS patients will be come a significant profit source to these doctors and that will encourage them to spend more time studying rls and perhaps expanding their practices by teaming up with similarly specialist doctors. The poor old GP has 10000patients with 5000 diseases. Perhaps we can give the good ones a few hundred patients with RLS and make RLS a serious part of their

business.

In the US I only know of John's Hopkins and Doctor Buchfuhrer

By sharing we can make the good doctors prosper

Unfortunately I don't think we can name the bad doctors.

Not what you're looking for?
