Guest guest Posted March 8, 1999 Report Share Posted March 8, 1999 You poor thing. It works. It really works. CHEERS! Jeanne and Mr. Biggles in Poultney VT HEY, I found a Homeopathic Physician in Burlington. He's an MD and an MPH. I'm going to see if I can get an appointment. If I do I'll certainly list RLS as one of my ailments. We'll see. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
