Has anyone heard of the Woolcot(t) clinic in Australia ?

Hi, There was a two minute item on 7 news Australia about restless legs.

It was on Monday the 21 st.

Not a great deal about it, but at least itcwas mentioned.

Yes, it's the Woolcock Clinic.

Professor Brendon Yee works out of there.

He is highly recommended by members of an Australian forum i'm on.

Yes, I am on their 'list' in case anyone does restless legs research. Nothing so far. More talk than action.

I have been desperately trying to find a neurologist in Perth who knows something about RLS . Near impossible. Went to a Dr Ho yesterday. Her only recommendation was to go on high doses of Sifrol. I am currently on 0.025my per day in the process of getting off this drug for the past TWO years. I asked if she was aware of Mayo recommends and she said that is how she always treats it!

What a shame Wolcott doesn't do what or says it is, or has more of a focus on rls.

The Woolcock clinic doesn't hold itself out to be a big player in respect of RLS. And you might have more luck with a sleep specialist than neurologist.
