An interesting article in Podiatry Management.
It appears that podiatrists know more about RLS than most UK medics.
Maybe we should all be seeing podiatrists instead of GPs.
They refer to the Mayo Clinic Algorithm , and do stress that dopamine agonists are second line treatment- BUT also that dopamine agonists should be closely monitored.
Good one 👍
I can well believe that podiatrists do know more than doctors about RLS!
That's great and interesting! At first I was very surprised they would have anything to do with RLS but in checking they do treat foot, ankle, and lower limb injuries, diseases, and disorders
Great article Joolsg! Thank you.
It seems that anyone who cares to pay attention to the facts about RLS comes up with reasonable knowledge and ideas about treatment.
Therefore, there must be a reason that many of the experts and all of the relevant pharmaceutical companies who, by definition, know lots more about RLS….. why they are singing a different management tune…
There are and have been for 20+ years, criminal forces at work here… The BuFGs as I like to call them…. And all for the sake of 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

I did an interview with the BBC yesterday.They kept asking over and over why do UK GPs and neurologists not know/understand augmentation and Impulse Control Disorder. Why do they still prescribe a drug that is KNOWN to worsen the disease and cause ICD?
It really is very hard to grasp that UK doctors refuse to read up and research RLS.
I’m not sure who you spoke to but I did a ? Interview/pre interview at the BBC and they weren’t interested and totally didn’t understand the present situation and how this has all come about . He didn’t really seem to care either…
Educate yourself on the effects of RLS meds
