Private RLS Expert Neurologist near Liverpool UK?

[Baldrick123]

Hi. Does anyone know of a Neurologist near Liverpool, UK who is very good at helping RLS sufferers? Having just come back from a holiday in Cumbria in which I could barely sit down never mind lie down and fall asleep I am desperate for a solution. I know I probably have Ropinirole augmentation but feel that it's very difficult to get help through the NHS.

Dr Christopher Murphy at Salford Royal (near Manchester) - may have to pay privately but he is excellent.

Thanks Sue. I will look him up and try to arrange an appointment.

Further to Sue's reply, see HipHop1972's experience with Dr Murphy and Prof Silverdale:

Thanks. Dr Murphy does seem to be very sympathetic to RLS sufferers. I don't think many medical practitioners truly understand how awful RLS is. I was on holiday with my girlfriend, who I think the world of, and it must have been horrible for her having to put up with my RLS.

[EDIT] Appointment booked with Dr Murphy. I have to sort this as it's destroying my life.

Great you have an appointment.

Two other forum members recommended him too. Ced60 and phantom388 both in March/April time in 2023. Hope your appointment goes well for you.

Best wishes - hope that it works out for you!
