Hi I am sorry you are experiencing RLS, it is uncomfortable and can ruin many a nights sleep. It is good that your doctor is a caring individual as there are many docs out there that barely give you the time of day let alone some decent medical care.
I am sure you will find many with this problem, I have it but I also have other issues that make my quality life less than it could be. Good Luck and hang onto that good doctor. My thoughts and prayers are with you and those you care for. Linda
