What kind of doctor should you see for RLS

[Madlegs1]

The one who knows about rls.

Not to be smart--- but unless you are incredibly lucky, you will have to educate yourself on all matters rls.

Kaarina can link you to the best sites. ( I hope 🥺)

Are you in the UK or states?

States

[FluteE in reply to 1234kids]

There is the dr in California talks about and there is also Dr. Arthur Walters in Nashville, Tn. He’s the dr close to where I am, so I’ll be making an appt soon. I texted with one person in this support group that they drive from Florida to see him. I don’t believe a general practitioner has enough knowledge about this dreadful “syndrome,” so they call it. Good luck! Keep us all posted if you see someone who can give you some relief!

Is the dr a neurologist

[FluteE in reply to 1234kids]

Neurology and Sleep Specialist

Thank you. I do have an appointment with a neurologist who specializes in our RLS at Johns Hopkins

[FluteE in reply to 1234kids]

Wonderful! Let me know how it goes. Praying you will get some relief!

[1234kids in reply to FluteE]

Thank you

My appointment isn’t until September but I will share what this person or doctor says

God bless

If you’re in the States and want to find a knowledgeable doctor, it may pay to become a member of the US rls.org. It costs about $35 a year ( from the top of my head, not a member myself as I am in NL). And they have a list if knowledgeable rls doctors. You’ll most likely find someone fairly near to you/ in your state.

Or try to pm nightdancer. She manages a lot of rls groups and knows about quite a few rls doctors.
