Would like some Christ.as cards Kaarina. Have given many leaflets and posters out , every time I go to hospital I give them some. They are usually very surprised that it is a 'thing', a properly recognised illness. Some are aware of it in pregnancy, or a side effect of medication. Still much work to be done, getting it 'out there'. I'm amazed that so few medical people know it's a real illness.

Thank you so much, pennygates, for giving out leaflets and posters. It is appreciated. It is soul destroying/appalling that RLS is not recognised as a serious, common condition. If RLS-UK had funds like other charities, for instance Parkinson UK, we could do so much more.

Thank you for thinking of purchasing some of our Christmas cards. It is very kind and thoughtful of you.
