List of knowledgeable RLS doctors in Australia?

[Asha1918]

Just wondering if you have compiled a list of doctors in Australia who know about RLS, May Clinic guidelines, etc? I searched for years for such a thing.

I have the names of some. Are you not happy with Dr. Cunnington?

[Asha1918 in reply to SueJohnson]

I think he's good. I guess I was just thinking about how hard it was to find good doctors here in Australia and how helpful it would be for RLS sufferers here to have access to such a list.

[SueJohnson in reply to Asha1918]

I'm on here every day so will see if someone needs an knowledgeable doctor and can give them a name of someone near where they live.

[Asha1918]

Brilliant! 😀

Where are you in Australia?

[Asha1918 in reply to NanaJay123]

Sydney. I have a good specialist who I consult via telehealth.

Well, none in Tasmania, that's for sure.'Have you tried Sifrol ?' ...

[SueJohnson in reply to Oscarcat63]

Why in the world are you asking that? You were on sifrol and know how bad it was.

[Oscarcat63 in reply to SueJohnson]

You mistook my meaning - I used it as a quote from most of the doctors I have seen, when I have asked for something took take when pregabalin doesn't work.Their reply, 'Have you tried Sifrol?'

Me: ' yes, and never again'

[SueJohnson in reply to Oscarcat63]

The problem with the way you originally phrased it was it seemed to imply someone should try sifrol.

[Oscarcat63 in reply to SueJohnson]

I was rather exhausted when I wrote it. I do hope that no one tries Sifrol - it's @#$%. I confess to feeling waspish as I had seen my gp today and....he suggested Sifrol. I was asking for one of the 'safe' antidepressants, but he doesn't want me on more medication !.So my apologies 🙃

[SueJohnson in reply to Oscarcat63]

No apologies necessary. We have all been there.

And so frustrating about your doctor!

[Oscarcat63 in reply to SueJohnson]

Oh definitely. I am greatful that my rls is almost totally controlled by pregabalin and clonidine !

No more DAs for me, that's for certain ! 😁
