Guest guest Posted March 26, 1999 Report Share Posted March 26, 1999 Hi Gloria, I'm Cate Murray, the Executive Director of the RLS Foundation, so I am a little biased. We would love to have you join the more than 6000 other folks who are members of the Foundation. We have information available on our Web site (www.rls.org) and we also have printed copies of the information booklet, Living with RLS, and our Medical Bulletin for healthcare providers from the Foundation. If you would like me to mail a copy of the booklet, and even a past issue of the newsletter, just send me your name and address and I'll pop the material in the mail. (This goes for anyone else who is reading this and would like more information on the Foundation.) Membership fee is $25 a year and includes quarterly issues of Nights, our newsletter; enrollment of your healthcare provider in our education program, through which we send annual updates of the medical bulletin directly to your doctor, nurse, etc., with a note that this information is being sent at the request of their patient [your name]; discounts on RLS-related publications; announcements of currently formed or new support groups in your area; and most important, knowing that your contribution helps not only you directly, but also funds the RLS Foundation research and education programs that will eventually find the cause of and a cure for RLS and will also let everyone know that RLS is a real, and sometimes devastating, disorder. Let me know if you would like me to send information. Cate At 09:22 AM 3/26/99 EST, you wrote: >From: Gbello5353@... > >I am interested in knowing more about the RLS Foundation.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 1999 Report Share Posted March 27, 1999 Gloria, It is not necessary to Join the RLS Foundation, you can just type in www.rls.org and get lots of info, however if you subscribe to the Night (their Newsletter) you automatically become a member. The newsletter keeps you up to date on all the latest research, the latest medications that are working, and other goings-on " s. There is even a Carnival Cruise Ship just for RLS's and their family going out of California next month, I would be going if it was leaving from the Atlantic Ocean instead of the Pacific. It's 25.00 a year and comes out quarterly. I wouldn't have know that if didn't get the Night. I feel it's worth it to know what's going, but above all the money supports the foundation, and keeps the research going on, etc. Also you may find a local support group listed near you.
