@tim1028 and all...Thank you, Tim, for the kind words. I pray my words help someone and truly make a difference in some lives. This help I received and am receiving was a long-time coming. I have fought all my adult life, fought to have someone hear me. It is amazing to me that as an older woman, finally I found help for so many life-changing issues I experienced for so many years. Mayo has saved my life. Saved my sanity and added years of a better life to my calendar. I'm so grateful.

RLS was a tough one. Thanks for the mention of the foundation. I'm heading there online now.
Be well, be blessed, Tim. elizabeth

Yes, Mayo is the best! My point of view is that forums like this, supported by Mayo Clinic, are very helpful for folks like us, who are navigating health issues. I cared for my parents for 12 years during their declining years and learned a lot, including how to ask the right questions, how to research health information, where to find appropriate resources. I also respect the training and knowledge that physicians have and treat them with respect, but still open to second opinions. Another interest of mine is ageism, and how the elderly are frequently treated dismissively solely due to age. Thankfully, this happened only rarely with my parents. Yes, conditions like RLS are tough, but there has been so much progress that no one needs to suffer unnecessarily.
