Steroids!

Wow! I counsel people on several Facebook groups. You guys are on steroids. Great job. This a European blog? A doctor in America has gone on the war path against dopamine agonist. There is a video of him addressing recent sleep med grads. He is emphatic about managing patient results where dopamine agonist are concerned. But he just published major paper published in American Academy of Sleep Medicine that rejects dopamine agonist for treating RLS. 15 Years late but I will accept the effort.

This is run by RLS-UK which follows the Mayo Clinic Algorithm and the new AASM guidance.RLS-UK is also on the warpath against dopaminergic meds and is trying to get the UK medical profession to adapt similar guidelines to the new AASM guidance.

Dr Buchfuhrer, Berkowski and Dr Andrew Spector are some of the experts we also follow closely.

Probably Andy Berkowski or Andrew Spector. Both were involved in the recent AASM guidance. Andrew Spector has just released a new Book on RLS.

Dr Andrew Spector is excellent but was not an author of the AASM guidance.
