Informative video on updated RLS guidelines

This video is a MUST see video by Dr. John Winkelman, M.D., PHD from Mass General in Boston. He explains the problems with dopamine agonists and RLS, talks at length about augmentation and how to get off the DA with the help of gabapentin, Lyrica and opioids and other pharmaceuticals. The presentation is directed to both RLS patients and medical providers. Iron and iron infusions are also discussed.

This is especially good for anyone trying to get off a DA with a doctor who just isn’t giving the support you need. Check it out on YouTube and the recent RLS foundation has a link.

“RLS Updated Guidelines &Management Strategies” with Dr. John J Winkelman.
