Neurologist or GP?

[Guest guest]

From: Curley gcsb@...

Hi Folks,

I'm baaaaaaack!! We were left without power for nine days. From an ice

storm. Some of our friends went eleven days. I've heard some people say they

were born a hundred years too late! Not me. Too early if anything. Hauling

in wood for the fireplace, and tending the fire every hour for nine days got

really old. BUT, no RLS during those nine days.

A quick question. I just recently contacted Diane in VA. She tells me

she is under the care of her Family Doctor, who works with her using the

info she gets off RLS.org etc. How many of the group are under the care of a

GP vice a neurologist? Also, I assume she is sending me to the Neurologist

to eliminate secondary causes. Once RLS (plain and simple) has been

diagnosed by the Neurologist, is there any reason to continue seeing one, if

my Family Doctor will work with me?

Thanks for any responses, and talk to ya'll later.

/49/VA.

Nope I don't think I've ever been to a neurologist. My nurse practitioneer

with cooperation from staff doctors at the VA takes care of my RLS along

with other problems. She looks to me for up to date info on RLS medications

and lets me lead.

Cheers!
