Successful treatment for RLS

March 28, 1999

Recently, I wrote a letter to some thirty members of this RLS group explaining

our success at treating this condition, citing that " normal " appearing veins

in the legs appear to be responsible for the symptoms. I was merely trying to

" test the waters " for interest in a very promising and safe treatment. But to

my great surprize there was no interest. There was much mistrust and

criticism. I expected openness. We have been treating this condition since

about 1982 with tremendous success and little or insignificant recurrence.

Because the

responsible veins appear " normal " is probably the reason why RLS has been

elusive for so long. We have not seen or treated RLS of the hands or arms, but

I would not be surprised to find the same predisposing factors.

I am looking for a few " extreme " cases of arm and leg symptoms (in this RLS

support group) to examine and see if they have the typical findings common to

all of our other rls cases. If so, we can elect to proceed with treatment of

one limb and compare the difference. There are no significant side effects to

our treatment. For further info you can see our web page www.veinclinics.com,

then go to " Treatment " and then to RLS.

Sincerely,

McDonagh, M.D.
