Why did channel 5 raise false hopes yet again they picked someone with rls knowing that she wouldn't go through with drug treatment so that viewers would have been able to make a considered response to the effects of her treatment.

I'm afraid it's just another false hope and cheap TV. It didn't answer any questions of rls

Well-- at least it has educated the ignorant people ( such as myself) as to the lack of knowledge concerning Dopamine on this site.

Full marks to Sara for kindly pointing this out!🤪

TV is about entertainment, not scientific advancement.

How many of us watched that programme just to see if they would improve on the previous one! (My hand is up)

It is sad. But at least we have this site and the UK and South California sites to hand.

I did just that, watched it to see if it would be different to the last ones. Answer was nooooo.

Hi Madlegs1 - could you give more details on the UK and S California sites you refer to? Thanks

in reply to YodaDog

I think Madlegs means rls-uk.org and rlshelp.org as sites to get information

Hi Elisse2 I seem to be going through a good spell regarding sleep at the moment. I don't understand why and I can't really explain why! I haven't done anything differently apart from feeling more relaxed I do massage my legs at bedtime and I can feel the rls in the background I still take my pramipexole extended relief and I'm hoping I can keep the rls at bay but at the moment just feeling good about sleep

in reply to Hoochybaby

Sometimes there is no explanation on why we can sleep doing nothing different. Enjoy that sleep. :)
