10 Common Side Effects of Opioids for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) in Less Than 10 Minutes

[@ujahu]

Hello, do you provide any remote consulting about RLS or know a specialized clinc who does? I live outside US (Canada) so the authorized RLS clinics list is not applicable to me 😢

[@andyberkowskimd]

Though through technology, doctors in the US could do telemedicine anywhere in the globe, we are only licensed in certain states in the US, much less other countries, so right now a doctor in the US can primarily only sees patients who are in a specific state in which they are licensed (though the patient does not necessarily have to live in that state). The RLS Foundation has a list of clinicians who identify themselves as RLS specialists and it includes Canadian provinces, though I'm not sure how many provinces have clinicians listed: www.rls.org/treatment/find-a-healthcare-provider

Can grief bring on RLS

[@andyberkowskimd]

Not in someone who does not have it. However, one with RLS can have worsening symptoms for grief, stress, anxiety, etc. Mental situations that stress the brain can heighten awareness of sensations, whether it pain or RLS, for example.
