I thought I had introduces myself, Sorry.
My name is Wendy and from having RLS since the 1970s, and then this Neuropathy began in 2016, but was not diagnosed until 2025. I'm an Australian and we don't have a great health system like USA, thus I have joined your support group, and already I've learnt things I didn't know. I'm well into pain now. As people just don't understand I need to talk and listen to people who know what it is all about. Thank You @wenner

@wenner Hi Wendy,
I also have RLS. Without the medicine I would be a raving lunatic!

The Polyneuropathy started in 2016. I developed a very rare disease in 2015 that damaged my nerves. I don’t have much pain from it but some of my toes are numb, and I got that “bugs on my skin” sensation.
It also gave me Reynard's. Touching very cold things can be very painful.

You are the first person from outside the USA who has confirmed that our healthcare here is very good compared to their own. Thank you.
