I have two listed on my short list of recommendations by other members.

Dr Sarah Jackson, Royal Devon Exeter Hospital. I made a note that she recommends patients GP arrange for an iron infusion done quickly on NHS if levels are low.

Dr Martin Sadler , Consultant/Neurologist, Derriford Hospital, Plymouth Devon.

Hi there I live near Barnstaple but have now contacted the secretary of Dr Sarah Jackson at Exeter Hospital. I’ve just got to see my go for a referral as she doesn’t do private work. Her specialities are movement disorders within the geriatric field. Gosh I hate that word as at 71 I don’t want to be a geriatric!But if she’s good they can put me in any genre of medicine

HiI hope your GP helps with the referral 😀.

Can see why you would feel that way, it’s a lot to take on board. Also finding the age issue hard here as am 42. Best of luck 😀

Dr. Stuart Weatherby. A neurologist at Derriford hospital , Plymouth .He has helped me with my migraines and he mentioned there being a link between migraines and RLS. I also suffer from RLS. I would highly recommend him.
