There is NOT one person that knows everything.

I’m leaving this community because I’m sick of one person seeming “know it all”. Everything someone may post and there is always a comment, I would suggest to this person to maybe get a life besides trying to be a know it all.

The ability to reply to this post has been turned off.

What exactly is your problem with someone taking the time to research and answer peoples' genuine concerns?

I, for one, am delighted that someone with medical ability, takes the trouble. It also takes a lot of pressure off others who ,before now, had to do all that work.

I second that Madlegs. Everything I’ve learnt about RLS has been on here. Some advice I disregard but some I listen to and then do my own research based on that. I’d still be on ropinorole and suffering horrific augmentation without this site.

Unless you have a knowledgeable GP (unlikely) or one prepared to listen (unlikely) then the information on here from a few regular contributors is priceless. Nobody forces you to take the advice. You have free will. I actually find that last remark offensive and unnecessary.

I third that. It takes a lot of time and effort for others to help. You can read what people write and then make up your own mind, but you shouldn't take anything personally when people are offering information in case it is of help. All anyone does here is try to help and support others which they don't have to do.

I am certainly very appreciative of all the time and effort others put in.

Unkind comments are unnecessary.

Hello, I live in Australia and since joining this community I am so thankful for all that I have learnt from other people. I appreciate it when people take time to read my posts and to write back to me.

I am also on an Australian/NZ RLS community group. But I have to say that the knowledge on this site is far advantageous and more knowledgeable. I have received so much support with this community and I am very greatful. Thankyou.

Kind regards Julie McGowan

That may be so but they know a million times more than me and I agree with Pam34, if it wasn’t for the things I’ve learned here, there would be no hope for me.

I wouldn’t be too quick to leave the community even if you don’t agree with everything posted. There’s new information coming up all the time and we all need to educate our doctors for the future. Please stick with it.

Oh dear, the poster has left.. I agree Madlegs there had been some of us who had been answering everyone's post as far as we could. It was nice to have newer members to join and give all their knowledge to everyone. I for one dont come on here as much as i used to. But when i do i can see the new members are getting plenty of advise and support. Who its from does it matter,,? No.
