I am not surprised at the out come of this study a regarding RLS and dementia , it is the one thing we absolutely dread.
I mean what do they expect not sleeping has always been a form of torture, and they al, treat us as if we make it up.
There should be a protocol put in place that everyone who walk through a doctors door with RLS should first do a sleep study so they can see the suffering of their fellow human . Then treat them with the compassion and understanding we deserve.
I know before Buprenorphine I would have rather had cancer than RLS because you have more of a chance of beating cancer than this disease because some may not so medical professionals treat is like it’s not a real disease with life threatening consequences .
On that note a young 27 year old male , I have just mange’s to get him onto Subutex with doctors words astonishing results. One thing I made him follow through with proportion to our initial doctors appointment was a thorough sleep study , and bullet point aloe the horrible harsh drugs and side effects s if he has had taken them. And bullet point on the impact on his life , work he had not worked or driven a car for one year and has 2 little ones and had to give up a brilliant job in border security.
GP said taking these steps was so very helpful and gave him the power to actually give him a week trail on Subutex there and then .
After that success he had to go through drug clinic which I also hav to go through to get his reply.
He now has his life back.
